The Suzuki Mehran is a 5-door hatchback from Suzuki, built from 1988 to 2019, in the age of turbocharging and the first electronic engine management. Under the bonnet: 796 . Suzuki drew it.
The background
The Suzuki Mehran is a rebadged version of the second-generation Suzuki Alto CA/CC71, manufactured by Pak Suzuki Motors. It was introduced as the successor to the classic Suzuki FX, a rebadged First Generation Suzuki Alto (SS80S). Upon its introduction to the Pakistani market in 1989, the Suzuki Mehran had a retail price of PKR.90,000. In November 2016, the Suzuki Mehran sold for around 650,000 Pakistani rupee ($3892).
The engineering
Power comes from 796 . It weighs 660 KG. It shifts through a 4-speed manual. The wheelbase is 2175 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Its family tree is legible: its successor was the Suzuki Alto (HA36); assembly was at Pakistan. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Ferrari F40, the Subaru Legacy, the Mazda MX-5 — show what else the money bought that year. Its Suzuki stablemates include the Suzuki XL-7 and the Suzuki Landy.
What it costs now
There is no federal ownership record for the Suzuki Mehran — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
