These knobs reminded me about old days i.e. air coolers knobs!

O tuadi khair...
Phir swift say umeed kam he rakhi jai

I think the opposite to that, though I might be wrong.

It seems like Suzuki has created a shortage of Suzuki WagonR & Cultus on purpose.

Right now, if you go through ads for unused cars on PakWheels. Suzuki Cultus AGS is being sold at a price tag of 2.7 million. Whereas, Suzuki Cultus VXL is being sold at a price tag of 2.6 million.

Most of the vehicles are available on an open invoice to my utter surprise. These vehicles are not available for booking for the last couple of months for the public.

Strange, isn’t it?

Previously, Suzuki has followed the same pattern to increase the sale of WagonR too.

With a price tag of 2.6 million for Cultus VXL and 2.7 million for Cultus AGS, booking closed, a hefty premium amount for immediate delivery, etc. People will be automatically forced to purchase newly launched Swift.

Suzuki may deliver this newly launched Swift on a priority basis to gather the market share.

Previously, I have mentioned that the price tag would not be an issue for the newly launched Swift if they offer a top-end variant with a load of features.

These external DRLs are a big disappointment. I hope, that Suzuki will launch the top-end variant with integrated DRLs, Push Start, Automatic Climate Control with Touch, Fog Lamps, Alloy Wheels, Cruise Control, Electronically Adjustable & Retractable Side Mirrors, Rear Wiper, Seat Height Adjustment, Navigation & Reverse Camera, Airbags and Color Multi-Info Dashboard Information Cluster.

That shortage is already doing good for Yaris.

If you exchange your old car you can get a new WagonR/Cultus in 6 days.

If you go for booking it is suspended. If you go through corporate, SUZUKI will give clearance. If you manage to lease/Finance you will get waiting time for 120 working days.

Some how I feel this is the top of the line variant since it's the first to roll out.

Suzuki achieving new milestones in 2022 when the world is entering into the era of smart cars & electric vehicles. Suzuki installed AC in Bolan with knobs bought from a washing machine vendor. No Ac vents in dashboard. Vents are in the ceiling only.

[automakerz]

these switches were purchased from Regal electronic market saddar, Karachi.

What a Shame - please don't share this image with Pak Suzuki Japan - they will suicide.

Interesting assessment and analysis

[wrangler79]

The previous model PKDM Swift (2010-21) had the following drawbacks:

1) High fuel consumption
2) Expensive annual token and registration for a hatchback
3) Poor rear legroom
4) Hard suspension
5) Poor air conditioner performance

How many of these issues are resolved in new Swift?

[tmalik]

From what a senior showroom representative told me (4 months ago) is that suzuki has a strange thing going on in their assembling plant.
They pick a Car model and just produce some quantity of that model only. Then they take another models and assemble some units of that model only....
This brings up an interesting question... Have they not expanded they plant facility all this time?

Probably they are only going to produce alto as its their cash cow and now on the new swift. So wagon R's and cultus's are probably on hold.

[dms664]

point 1 addressed. k12b very efficient engine with cvt
point 2 addressed as now the car falls under 1300, previously it was 1300 to 1500
point 3 addressed, this swift is not cramped. in the old gen the trunk was also cramped If I compare it to vitz.
no idea about suspension
no idea about AC

I am a 3rd gen vitz user and looking forward to swift if they address the points you have mentioned. pricing will be the decisive factor for me. If I sell my vitz and add a little more NOT much more then why not a brand new car.

Current swift's Ac is hella good

[dms664]

just look at the finishing, relays, brake booster. look like some diy person slapped all parts and cherry on top is the washing machine feat AC controls

[dms664]

and bolan is priced above 1 million, I guess. not sure though

[nfssaad]

you seriously think this is an official suzuki fitted AC?

[zee5han]

@nfssaad
I took the picture from Pak wheels official Instagram page.

[dms664]

leave the AC, the rest of the stuff is official suzuki fitted, no?

[nfssaad]

the brake cylinder design / position has been the same since the bolan has been in production.

[Ali.A.Khan]

Its actually surprising how the Japanese are OK with this level of fit and finish and have no reservations on such a poorly built product (without any safety feature) with their badge on it.

[automakerz]

Alhamdullillah - Suzuki maintained its legacy of providing Bolan with out QC, same happened with us way back in 2007, no finishing at all. emailed them that time in 2007 but no reply received till 2022. hope they get the good competitor like Karwaan and other Hi-Roofs.
