New 1000cc Cultus VXR launched at price tag of PKR 1.25 M
Manufactured by Pak Suzuki at its Bin Qasim plant, this is the first local 1000 cc model with advanced safety features.
Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited introduced its all new Suzuki Cultus at a launch event in Lahore on April 22, 2017.
According to Pak Suzuki, the new model has been developed keeping in mind the Pakistani customers’ needs within the 1000cc segment, and is fully equipped to cater to modern day requirements. The new Cultus VXR is priced at PKR 12,50,000, while the Cultus VXL comes with a price tag of PKR 13,91,000.
Manufactured by Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited at the Bin Qasim Plant, Karachi, some of the highlights of the new Cultus include:
Modern and sleek hatchback, aerodynamic design.
High-rigidity, low-weight body that maximises performance and is in line with the latest international trends.
Advanced K-Series 1000cc engine that optimises fuel efficiency and provides extraordinary driving pleasure.
Advanced safety features like dual front SRS air bags, anti-lock braking system and keyless entry with immobiliser, a first for any locally manufactured 1000 cc model in Pakistan.
Powerpak features like electronic power steering, electric windows and electrically adjustable side view mirrors.
Standard warranty of 3 years (up to 60,000 kms).
Mr Kinji Saito, Managing Officer of Global Automobile Operations at Suzuki Motor Corporation, inaugurated the new Cultus and apprised that Pakistan has always been an exceptional market for Suzuki, leading with a market share of more than 50% for the last two decades.
He said that Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, sees Pakistan as a dynamic market with great potential for growth in the years to come and re-iterated that the company is committed towards technological advancement of the automobile sector. He also said that Suzuki Motor Corporation will make aggressive efforts to contribute to the development of the automobile industry in Pakistan.
The New Cultus will be on display at over 110 Pak Suzuki Dealerships nationwide, covering 48 cities where customers can witness the product and also avail test drives. With strong brand positioning and Pak Suzuki’s reliability, the New Cultus is all set to make a debut on Pakistani roads for a new beginning with a different attitude.

I'm sorry the top of the range sz4 celerio here in UK costs £9999 and that's got everything including dab radio. This is well overpriced. Should be around 8.5-10 lacs. Swift even though basically a 2005 car is much better than this

Pakistanis always pay more for incompetence. Profit making industries are controlled by influential people and they don't pass the saving to Pakistanis. High price of durable goods is partly to be blamed for corruption in Pakistan. Pakistani worker skills and infrastructure is below global standards. Moreover, Pakistan's worker productivity and his attention to detail and workmanship is also below global mentality. "Take it, or leave it " mentality of Pakistani business enterprises also makes them set prices higher. Some of the few points that I touched. The car is over-priced for a country whose GDP is low.

While commenting and comparing automobiles or anything Indian, do not forget that INR 1 = PKR 1.60 plus minus moreover import duties on cars' components for assembling is exorbitantly higher in Pakistan thirdly profit margins of international/local manufacturers/assemblers are high due to poorly negotiated deals with them by various negligent governments - nefarious reasons. This state of affairs cannot last long with the advancement of media and IT promoting awareness also high influx of used Japanese cars will hurt local assemblers till they loosen their claw grip or face elimination. As regards collection of direct taxes from wealthier class maintaining Mercedes and other luxurious vehicles, it is an open secret that bureaucracy will not do it due to corruption and this practice of collecting tax at source or indirect taxes which gives rise to cruel prices will go on till awareness reaches optimum level. And this is not very far.

Very good car. Called Suzuki Celerio in India. The price certainly is on higher side even after adjusting the exchange rates. The engine is 1000cc, same comes with 1200cc in India. Interestingly 1000cc engines are a better value for money and more refined since this is what is used in Japan (along side 660cc engines due to their local regulations). Looks like Pak Suzuki is realising the competition from upcoming Renault from France.

@Manjeet Yes you are right, the consumer pricing market is better served in India then here. Though better economic controls and better competition must also have a hand in keeping the price low in India. It must also be noted the 12.5 lakh Pak Rs is equivalent to approx. 7.625 lakh Indian Rs (per exchange rate). So the difference is close to 3.5 lakh Indian Rs more than what it costs in India. The Pakistani middle men/franchise partners may also be getting cuts, not to mention various govt taxes.

dear fellow indians
why are we making so much noise about price? Considering difference in population numbers, suzuki simply sells far lesser cars in pakistan compare to india. How can they pass on mass production benefits which they enjoy in india. I think we're reading too much into this

They are ripping off Pakistanis. You can pick up a more powerful Suzuki Swift for the same money in India or a 1.2 Baleno with all features including ABS/EBD, Airbags, Infotainment system and the works.

@Jalal I bought my brand new Honda Civic in 2011. It has all the features of this car and more including ABS/EBD, Airbags, Retracting mirrors, Honda stability assist, cruise control and the works. I paid 1.25 million INR. It's a 1.8 litre car.

@Atif wasay The problem is no different in India. Living in places like Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore is tough for the poor. But then we have a lot of people who have suddenly moved into the upper middle class/rich category due to business growth.

@common & immaterial That goes for all cars in India. It's a competitive market because of the volumes. In addition to Suzuki, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai Indians also have options like Renault, Chevrolet, Skoda, Volkswagen, Ford, Tata and Mahindra. if these guys have access to Pakistani market from India they will sell their vehicles at the same rates, even after Pakistani taxes.

I cant understand what Pak Suzuki is thinking, they launched Vitara, Ciaz and now cultus all over priced with basic features.

Way overpriced as usual. People have many choices of imported vehicles of much better quality and options in this price range.
