Under the PM Petrol Relief Scheme, small cars get Rs100 relief per litre — but only if the engine is 800cc or smaller. Some famous small cars are actually above the limit. This list shows which 800cc cars in Pakistan are eligible, and which popular cars are not.
Quick Answer: Which Cars Are Eligible?
Eligible cars include the Suzuki Mehran (796cc), the new Suzuki Alto (658cc), Suzuki Bolan (796cc), Prince Pearl (796cc), United Bravo (796cc) and all Japanese 660cc kei cars like the Daihatsu Mira. Famous cars that are not eligible include the Daihatsu Cuore (847cc), Suzuki Cultus (998cc) and the Pakistani Suzuki Wagon R (998cc). The cc on your registration book is always the final test.
Eligible 800cc Cars in Pakistan: The Complete List
| Car | Engine | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Suzuki Mehran | 796cc | Every model year qualifies — Pakistan’s most common eligible car |
| Suzuki Alto (2019 and newer) | 658cc | The current Pakistani Alto — fully eligible |
| Suzuki Bolan | 796cc | The famous “Carry Daba” family van |
| Suzuki Every (Pakistani model) | 660cc | The newer small van from Pak Suzuki |
| Prince Pearl | 796cc | Manual and automatic versions both qualify |
| United Bravo | 796cc | United’s small hatchback, sold as an 800cc car |
| Suzuki FX | 796cc | The old classic — still running in many cities |
Japanese 660cc Cars: All Eligible
Japan’s kei cars have engines of 660cc or less, so every genuine Japanese 660cc car falls inside the limit. Popular models on Pakistani roads include the Daihatsu Mira, Daihatsu Move, Suzuki Wagon R (Japanese model), Japanese Suzuki Alto, Honda N-One and N-Box, Nissan Dayz, and 660cc vans like the Daihatsu Hijet and Suzuki Every (Japanese model). If your book says 660cc or 658cc, it qualifies.
Popular Cars That Are NOT Eligible
These cars look small, but their engines are above 800cc, so they do not qualify:
| Car | Engine | Why not eligible |
|---|---|---|
| Daihatsu Cuore | 847cc | The closest miss — just 47cc over the limit |
| Suzuki Alto (2000–2012) | 970cc | The old Pakistani Alto has a much bigger engine |
| Suzuki Cultus (all models) | 993–998cc | Old and new Cultus are both near 1000cc |
| Suzuki Wagon R (Pakistani model) | 998cc | Only the Japanese 660cc Wagon R qualifies |
| Changan Karvaan | 998cc | A 1000cc-class van, above the limit |
| Hyundai Santro | 999cc | Also a 1000cc-class car |
How to Check Your Own Car in One Minute
Do not trust the car’s name — trust the paper. Open your vehicle registration book or smart card and find the engine capacity (cc). If it says 800 or less, your car is inside the scheme’s car category. If it says more, the car does not qualify, even if it is small and old. You can also confirm your category with our free eligibility guide.
What an Eligible Car Owner Gets
An eligible car gets a fuel token of 10 litres every 10 days — Rs1,000 relief per token and up to 30 litres (Rs3,000) per month. Steps: register by SMS with the REG format to 9771 (our SMS Generator prepares the message), then send TOK to 9771 when you need fuel, and use the token at a participating petrol pump.
Final Words
The rule for cars is simple: 800cc or less, you are in; more than 800cc, you are out. Mehran, the new Alto, Bolan, Pearl, Bravo and every Japanese 660cc car can claim Rs100 relief per litre through 9771. Check your book today — many small-car owners are eligible without knowing it.
FAQs About 800cc Eligible Cars
Is the Suzuki Alto eligible for petrol relief?
It depends on the model. The new Pakistani Alto (2019 and later) is 658cc and fully eligible, and so is every Japanese 660cc Alto. But the old Pakistani Alto (2000–2012) has a 970cc engine and is not eligible. Always check your book.
Is the Daihatsu Cuore eligible?
No. The Cuore is small, but its engine is 847cc — above the limit. It misses eligibility by only 47cc, which is why so many Cuore owners are surprised. Size does not matter here; only the engine capacity counts.
Is the Suzuki Wagon R eligible?
Only the Japanese Wagon R (660cc) is eligible. The Pakistani Wagon R has a 998cc engine and does not qualify. For every model on this page, the name is not enough — the cc on your book decides.
