    Pak Suzuki hikes prices, Cultus AGS now priced above Rs4.5 million

    In response to inflationary pressures and rising overhead costs, Pak Suzuki has announced a significant hike in car prices, impacting models across the range.

    The adjustments, ranging from Rs80,000 to Rs180,000, are set to take effect on March 1, 2024.

    Shafiq Ahmed Shaikh, Head of Corporate Affairs at Pak Suzuki, explained the rationale behind the decision, citing factors such as inflation, increased overhead expenses, higher international raw material and accessory costs, and elevated shipment and freight charges.

    The latest adjustments mean that the top-of-the-line model, Alto VXL AGS, will now be available at Rs3.045 million, reflecting a price increase of Rs110,000.

    However, the most significant surge is observed in the Cultus AGS, with its new price set at Rs4.546 million, following an increase of Rs180,000.

    This move by Pak Suzuki aims to navigate the challenges posed by the current economic landscape, ensuring the sustainability of operations amid various cost escalations.

    Customers will experience the impact of these changes as they come into effect, marking a new pricing structure for Suzuki vehicles in Pakistan.

    Here are the new prices for all Suzuki cars:

    Pak Suzuki may discontinue Cultus to promote new Swift

    One of Pak Suzuki Motor Company’s (PSMC) best-selling vehicles, Suzuki Cultus, will reportedly no longer be produced. According to reports, all variants of the hatchback will be officially phased out in the upcoming months.

    According to Pakwheels, Alto and Swift sales had an impact on Cultus sales, and the company intended to actively promote Swift while boosting Alto sales.

    If the rumours are true, it may be terrible news for those who adore this tiny hatchback since Cultus has long held the top spot in the 1,000cc category.

    According to information from the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA), PSMC sold more than 9,800 Alto in March of this year. In April, the amount fell to 5,000. In May, sales slightly increased to about 5,400.

    It is also worth noting that PSMC has not made any public statements about the development. Once the business issues a formal statement regarding this, PSMC’s response will be added.

    The current generation of Suzuki Cultus was introduced in 2017. The hatchback is available in three variations from PSMC: VX, VXR, and VXL. Since its debut, Cultus has dominated the 1,000cc segment of the home market due to its compact size and impressive fuel economy.

    It is still too early to tell if these rumours are true, as several reports from last month that Pak Suzuki was preparing to reintroduce the Mehran turned out to be false after The Current obtained confirmation from numerous dealerships.
