With the fluctuating economy and the rising cost of parts, finding a “Zero Meter” car under 20 Lakh (2,000,000 PKR) in Pakistan has become a challenge. In 2026, even the base model Suzuki Alto has crossed the 2.3 million mark. However, for budget-conscious buyers, there are still some incredible options in the entry-level segment and the pre-owned market that offer great value. Here are the top picks for cars under 20 Lakhs in Pakistan.
1. Prince Pearl (MT)
The Prince Pearl remains one of the most affordable 800cc hatchbacks in Pakistan. It is a popular choice for small families looking for a modern-looking car with basic features like power steering and power windows.
-
Engine: 796cc EFI
-
Key Features: Touchscreen infotainment, alloy rims, and decent ground clearance.
-
Approx. Price: Rs. 1,850,000 to 1,990,000
2. United Bravo
Often called the “cheapest car in Pakistan,” the United Bravo is the primary competitor to the Prince Pearl. While it faces some criticism regarding build quality, its low price point makes it an attractive “first car.”
-
Engine: 796cc
-
Key Features: Reverse camera, power windows, and a digital instrument cluster.
-
Approx. Price: Rs. 1,519,000 to 1,600,000 (New/Late Models)
3. Suzuki Mehran (Used Market)
The “Boss” of Pakistani roads might be discontinued, but it still reigns supreme in the used car market. For under 20 Lakhs, you can find a pristine Suzuki Mehran Euro II (2017-2019).
-
Why it wins: Incredible resale value and the cheapest spare parts in the country.
-
Approx. Price: Rs. 950,000 to 1,350,000 (Based on condition)
4. JDM Options: Nissan Moco / Mitsubishi I (Used)
If you are willing to look at older Japanese imports (2012-2015 models), you can find a level of comfort that local hatchbacks can’t match.
-
Why it wins: Better safety (Airbags/ABS) and superior fuel economy.
-
Approx. Price: Rs. 1,700,000 to 1,950,000

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I get a brand new Suzuki Alto under 20 Lakhs in 2026? Unfortunately, no. As of early 2026, the Suzuki Alto VX (the most basic variant) is priced above 23 Lakhs. For a budget of 20 Lakhs, you should look for a 2020-2021 used model.
Q2: Which car has the best fuel average under 2 million? Used Japanese 660cc cars like the Nissan Moco or Daihatsu Mira (older models) offer the best mileage, often giving 18-22 km/l in the city.
Q3: Are Prince Pearl and United Bravo parts easily available? Yes, both brands have established a decent network in major cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, though parts are slightly less common than Suzuki’s.
Q4: Should I buy a used Mehran or a new United Bravo? If you want resale security, go for the Mehran. If you want modern features like AC, power steering, and a better interior, the Bravo is the better choice.
