The Alto is the modern successor to the long-serving Mehran, so this is really old-versus-new within Suzuki’s entry line-up. The Alto brings modern efficiency, safety and comfort, while the Mehran survives on rock-bottom used prices and legendary simplicity to fix.

| Suzuki Alto | Suzuki Mehran | |
|---|---|---|
| Generation | Modern, efficient, better equipped | Older, discontinued, very basic |
| Purchase price | Higher, but current model | Rock-bottom on the used market |
| Best for | Everyday modern city driving | Cheapest transport, easy fixes |
The verdict
Buy the Alto if you want a modern, more efficient and safer small car for daily driving; consider a used Mehran only if you want the absolute cheapest entry price and value its simplicity and easy, inexpensive repairs over modern comfort and features.

Good to know

Only as the cheapest possible transport — it is simple and inexpensive to repair, but the Alto is far more modern, efficient, safer and more comfortable.
The Mehran wins on cheap parts and simple repairs, but the Alto is more fuel-efficient and refined, so the newer car often makes more sense overall.
