Suzuki Cultus to be Discontinued in Pakistan – Sources
And our sources are back and have brought a very important news for us. As per them, Pak Suzuki is going to discontinue one of their most famous cars in Pakistan. They told us that the company is discontinuing Suzuki Cultus. And if true, it is a big news for the Cultus owners and lovers.
“The car will be discontinued in coming months,” the sources added.
Apparent Reason?
The sources told us that the company wants to promote the recently-launched Suzuki Swift as their top offer. “Cultus was hanging somewhere between sales of Alto and Swift, and the company wanted the consumers to turn towards new Swift,” they added.
It has been further reported that along with Swift, the company is also seeking to boost the sales of Alto. As per PAMA report, 9,814 units of Alto were sold in March 2022, dropping to 5,009 in April and slightly jumping to 5,461 units in May 2022. This showed that the sales of this car dropped to almost half since March.
So, we think Pak Suzuki plans to focus on Alto and Swift to maintain its upper hand in these segments.

Suzuki Cultus
Pak Suzuki launched the new Cultus in Pakistan in 2017. The hatchback comes in three variants, i.e., VX, VXR and VXL. It has been dominating the 1000cc category since its launch. The salient features in the car include airbags, power windows, power steering, immobilizer, keyless entry, and alloy rimes (top 2 variants).
A few months ago, Cultus also faced a shortage of airbags which caused a delay in its production. And now this news.
