Well one of Pakistan’s most loved cars, is about to part ways. The reports are pretty solid that Pak Suzuki has decided to drop the production of the infamous hatchback for good. And in an effort to sell more cars, Pak Suzuki has also launched a limited edition Cultus. The limited edition vehicle comes with the new double din head unit, alloy wheels, matching side mirrors and other minor cosmetic changes and updates.
The new will be replacing the Cultus. It is expected to be put up for sale at the end of 2016 or start of 2017. Also, Pak Suzuki, along with other locally existing car manufacturers are waiting for the new auto policy to be launched and implemented. That will reveal a complete picture about the intentions of various car and bike makers in Pakistan. But let’s talk about Cultus for now.
Since the car is about to part ways, we decided to write a small farewell piece for it. Let’s start with its origin.
The Cultus name has been under use by Suzuki since 1983. What we know in Pakistan as has originally been called Cultus. The first gen Cultus (Khyber shape) was discontinued in Japan by 1988. But Pakistan started to see home-made Khyber after 1988. Before that, they were being imported into Pakistan and were labeled Swift. Khyber had simple 1-liter carburetor engine, and it was one of the most loved Suzuki vehicles in Pakistan.
