It is a rebadged second-generation Suzuki Alto CA/CC71 which was sold in the Japanese and European market from 1984 to 1988. Pakistan remains the only country where the vehicle is still in production until 2017. When the second generation of Suzuki Mehran arrived in Pakistan in 1989, it cost around PKR 90,000.[1] It was among the top-selling car in Pakistan.
