The Suzuki Mehran is equipped with a 0.8L 796cc 4-cylinder carbureted engine. Here’s how its specifications affect performance:

Engine Power: The engine produces around 39 horsepower and 59 Nm of torque, which is quite low by modern standards, especially on highways o r when fully loaded. This results in slower acceleration and may struggle on steep hills, especially when carrying passengers o r heavy cargo.

Fuel Efficiency: Despite the low engine power, the Mehran is known for its fuel efficiency, typically averaging 13-18 km/l depending on driving conditions. The small engine is well-suited for city driving and light highway use but isnt ideal for long, fast highway trips.

Durability: While the engine is relatively low-maintenance, it can suffer from overheating if not properly maintained, especially if the cooling system is neglected. Regular oil changes and carburetor tuning are critical for maintaining engine health over time.

🛠️ Common Issues:
Underpowered Engine: Struggles with higher speeds and steep climbs.

Overheating: Potential engine overheating, especially in high temperatures o r long traffic jams.
