In 2017, Suzuki Pakistan introduced a fully-equipped hatchback car called the New Suzuki Cultus to the Pakistani auto market. The New Suzuki Cultus comes equipped with an impressive 1.0L K-series engine, providing fuel efficiency. Additionally, it features dual SRS airbags for enhanced safety. Despite its modern features, critics have voiced concerns about its high price compared to other hatchbacks in the market. Many market analysts and experts suggest that at this price range, there are better options available, including imported Japanese cars.
The company released two variants of the New Suzuki Cultus: the Suzuki Cultus VXR and the Suzuki Cultus VXL.
Suzuki Cultus has a 3-cylinder DOHC 12-valve engine, offering a displacement of 998 cc. This engine configuration enables the Cultus to generate 67 horsepower at 6000 RPM and a torque of 90 Nm at 3500 RPM. It runs on petrol and has a fuel tank capacity of 35 liters. The car provides an average fuel efficiency of approximately 14 km/l in the city and 18 km/l on highways.
The Cultus has a manual 5-speed transmission, enabling smooth gear shifts. It boasts a minimum turning radius of around 4.7 meters, making it maneuverable in tight spaces. The front suspension features Macpherson Strut with Coil Springs, while the rear suspension consists of Torsion Beam with Coil Springs. The rear brakes are of the drum type, while the front brakes are ventilated discs. It comes with original equipment (OE) tires sized 165/65 R14, and the wheel size is 14 inches. However, it is possible to install larger tires within the recommended size limits specified by the company.
There are some differences between the New Suzuki Cultus VXR and VXL, which are given as under.
The primary and significant distinction between the two variants of the new Suzuki Cultus is their pricing. The base variant, Cultus VXR, has a price tag of 3,718,000 Pakistani rupees. On the other hand, the high-end variant, New Cultus VXL, is priced at PKR 4,084,000.
Cultus VXL comes with alloy wheels while VXR has steel Rims with wheel cups.
The Suzuki Cultus VXL has the Anti-lock Braking System with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (ABS with EBD) as its advanced braking system, while the Cultus VXR has a standard braking system.
During emergency braking, the ABS prevents the tires from locking up, ensuring stability and enabling the driver to make evasive maneuvers effectively.
Additionally, the Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) feature in the VXL variant helps maintain control by distributing the optimal amount of braking force between the front and rear wheels. This further enhances the vehicle’s stability and control during braking maneuvers.
The key differentiating factor between the two variants of the Cultus is the presence of Dual Airbags. The VXL variant has this advanced safety feature, while the VXR variant lacks it. Dual Airbags indicate that both the driver and the front passenger have protection with airbags in the event of a collision or impact.
VXL comes with stylish front fog lights while they’re absent in the Cultus VXR base version.
