The Suzuki Mehran is a small car manufactured and marketed by Suzuki in Pakistan. It is generally a rebadged first generation Suzuki Alto.

The car generally lacks essential features which are standard in other cars, such as airbags, rear windshield defogger and rear seat belts. Front seat belts had also been introduced in the recent years. As of 2006, the Pakistani-assembled Suzuki Mehran is sold equipped with a CNG tank and is one of the few cars in the world which still uses a carburetor-based engines.

However, despite all the shortcomings and serious quality criticisms, the Suzuki Mehran is Pakistan's highest selling car due to the lack of alternatives available owing to the monopolistic nature of Pakistan's auto industry and restrictions imposed on imports by the government of Pakistan.
