Ever heard of the Suzuki Cultus? This American-designed Japanese-developed car was built around the world since 1988 in the shape seen here. It was available around the world as the Suzuki Swift, the Holden Barina, the Subaru Justy, the Maruti Esteem, the Changan Suzuki, the Chevrolet Sprint and the Pontiac Firefly, among others. Even though the Firefly and its brethren haven’t been seen on UAE roads since the 1990s, it still persevered in Pakistan as the Suzuki Cultus. But now, after a third of a century in production, Suzuki has decided to wind up the Cultus model in the Pakistan market as well.
After weeks of speculations, Suzuki has finally taken the covers off its latest Swift in Japan. Spied pictures of the new Swift have floating around on the internet for a while now. As the photographs show, the officially-released Swift is no different from the one we saw in those leaks.
Maruti Suzuki in India has previewed a new addition to their portfolio which might find its way into the Middle Eastern market. The Ignis, as it’s called, is a funky micro-crossover aimed at the “urban” youth. The Ignis is based on the Ignis Trail concept revealed at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. If the Ignis makes it, its arrival will offer a bit of contrast to the otherwise sedate Suzuki lineup in the Middle East.
A dealer conference held in Europe by Suzuki was the source of a leak about the new Suzuki Swift bound for a 2017 launch. The sporty little hatchback was released in 2005 and was revamped completely in 2011. After munching through 5 years of success with the new model, the Swift is starting to show its age. The mild facelift in 2015 couldn’t help it much, so the time is ripe to introduce a new version.
Suzuki launched the all-new Vitara in the UAE and few other GCC countries recently. The “Grand” has been dropped from the name, and is a completely different vehicle from the previous model. It is based on the iV-4 concept, which was first exhibited at the Frankfurt Motor Show back in 2013.
Suzuki have officially released an image of the 2015 Vitara ahead of its world debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show in October.
An international crash-test agency called Global NCAP conducted the first ever independent crash tests for some of the most popular cars in India, several of which are also sold in the Middle East.
Following the revealing of the the iV-4 at the Frankfurt Motor Show earlier this year, Suzuki yet again showed off a slew of concepts at the Tokyo Motor Show this year. We’re not exactly sure of what these might turn out to be in the future, but the Crosshiker, X-Lander and Hustler concepts certainly offers some ideas on their design direction for upcoming models.
It’s bold, it’s tall, it’s a Suzuki and certainly not a Grand Vitara. But the signs are right from Suzuki, as they have officially shown off their iV-4 concept at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
