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.

Head to head
| 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.
