We will be forever stuck with the current way of doing things.

Ciaz is also made in Thailand but Suzuki is closing the Thailands production plant completely by the end of this year. So forget about Ciaz, we might even loose Cultus by the end of this year because we import its parts from Thailand. Swift is also under threat. I’m not sure whether we are importing its CKD kits from Thailand or Japan. If it’s Japan then nothing will change, but if it’s Thailand then there’s a chance that Pak Suzuki will either launch the 4th gen Swift by making a contract with Suzuki Japan or will completely discontinue the nameplate from Pakistani market if it doesn’t see it feasible.
XL7 is also made in Indonesia so that’s one vehicle Pak Suzuki can launch in Pakistan if they’re able to make a contract with them.
