Owning up to 60% of the market share, Pak Suzuki has won over the small car segment of the automobile industry in Pakistan. Suzuki has become a household name in Pakistan, well-known for its budget-friendly car Suzuki Mehran.
After three decades, the production of hot-selling Suzuki Mehran came to a halt in 2019. The discontinuation was followed by the launch of the 8th generation Suzuki Alto 660cc in the market.
Suzuki Alto has long been available in the Pakistani automobile market. A lesser-known fact about Suzuki Alto is that different generations of Suzuki Alto were launched in Pakistan with different names. The first-generation Suzuki Alto was launched back in the 1980s. It was marketed as Suzuki FX. The Suzuki Mehran was technically the second-generation Suzuki Alto. It was followed by the release of subsequent generations until the 5th generation Suzuki Alto got discontinued in 2012. The discontinuation of Suzuki Alto 5th generation was based on the governmental policy to switch from carburetor setup to the Euro-II emission setup. The sixth and seventh generations weren’t released in Pakistan.
The Suzuki Alto has resurged in the Pakistani market after a hiatus of seven years. The retro-style, 8th generation Suzuki Alto 660cc is here to win over the customer base of Mehran.
Cosmetically, the locally manufactured 8th generation Suzuki Alto is similar to its JDM version. The car comes with several style and technological upgrades from its previous generations. The configuration of the car provides a better fuel economy, making it one of the most budget-friendly cars available in the market right now.
