One of the major developments in the automobile sector after the announcement of new Automobile Policy is the replacement of Pak Suzuki’s aging Cultus with the rather modern Celerio hatchback.
Pak Suzuki had officially discontinued the production of 1000cc Cultus in February 2017 and is currently delivering the pre-booked units. Keeping in view the immense popularity of the Cultus brand tag, the company has decided to rename the Celerio hatchback as New Cultus.

Industry insiders suggest that Pak Suzuki is preparing to launch the New Cultus by the end of April 2017, however no official announcement has been made by the company in this regard. A spy-shot surfaced the social media earlier today showing ready units of Test Drive vehicles parked in the factory compound.
