The fifth populous nation has a love-hate connection with the legendary Suzuki Mehran. The 800cc is a globally obsolete vehicle and Pakistan was the last country to produce it till 2018.
Suzuki Mehran is one of the selling car models introduced by Pak Suzuki, the country’s oldest carmaker. First introduced in the late 80s, Suzuki Mehran got huge popularity due to its affordability, fuel efficiency, and low maintenance costs.
Known for its compact yet robust engine, Mehran offers a basic design with minimal features which attracted people looking for four-wheelers in a budget. Over the years, Suzuki made some minor changes however there was no major update in shape and specifications.
In 80s, Suzuki Mehran was introduced at a price of Rs90,000, and in March 2019, when it was discontinued, it was retailing at Rs0.75 million. Despite being loaded with basic features, the 800cc ride became a common sight, especially in metropolis like Lahore, and Karachi where middle-class people used it for daily commutes.
The car survived in the market for decades due to its built design which managed to bear the brunt of poor infrastructure while its compact size made it a good choice while maneuvering in congested traffic.
