The Suzuki Cultus is a supermini car produced by the Japanese manufacturer Suzuki from to , and it is now a rebadged Suzuki Celerio in Pakistan since It was first presented at the 25th Tokyo Motor Show , formally introduced to Japan in and ultimately sold in seven countries across three generations and marketed worldwide as the Suzuki Swift. Offered across its lifespan in four body-style variations with engines from the Suzuki G engine family, the second generation Cultus still remained in production in Pakistan until late While never formally marketed in New Zealand they were imported and sold on the secondary market. The name " cultus " is Latin meaning "care" or "adoration". The first generation was a project begun by General Motors as the M-car. When they realized that the project was not going to be profitable enough, the entire unfinished design was sold to Suzuki in return for a five per cent stake in the company. This is also why the car's design was such a natural fit in the General Motors lineup, with a clear GM corporate look. The first-generation Swifts all share the SA model code prefix and was Suzuki's first earnest entry into a class of car with larger dimensions and engines than of the kei class Suzuki Fronte. Three- and four-cylinder versions of the G engine family were available, although some secondary markets installed Suzuki's one-liter four-cylinder F10A engine in a model which carries the SA chassis code. Early export models were sold simply by the model code, SA, the name shortly thereafter changed to a variety of names depending on the market. In Japan the car was always known as the Cultus. The SA initially featured leaf sprung rear suspension and was originally marketed with a 1. The SA had its European premier in southern Spain in late Early models were sold in Finland as the Suzuki Extra. The 1-liter turbo and a three-speed automatic transmission were introduced in Japan on the last day of May It featured flush headlights, yellow filtered front foglamps with black removable covers and white wheel trims. The interior was finished in a grey fabric with two broad red strips over the front and rear seats. The introduction of the model year versions also marked the introduction of the "Swift" name in the European market, as earlier models had been sold simply as the SA Two headlight variations existed within the earlier models depending on market and level. The lower equipped were fitted with a recessed sealed beam rectangular light while others came with a panel-flush forwards swept glass unit. The model was refreshed and upgraded in June The leaf springs of the rear end were replaced by coil springs, the front end forward of the steel body was remodelled with a more forward swept grill and headlights, the dashboard was remodelled, and the windscreen was now caulked in place rather than being held with a molded seal as in the earlier model. The 1. It was originally available as a manual three-door hatch only, although later a five-door version called GXi was added. The GTi was one of the first Suzuki to feature electronic fuel injection on its G13B high performance twin cam engine. The front brake system was also upgraded to a larger diameter disc. Interior updates included velour highlighted door cards and seat trimming. A red theme across the dashboard displays, carpet and seat roping was standard as was a centre console. Electric adjustable mirrors were also added. Exterior styling upgrades included a model specific molded spoiler, side skirts and a bumper bar incorporating fog-lights. It was marketed in Ecuador, Chile, Canada and the U. An undetermined number of Forsa superminis were imported to Hawaii and Puerto Rico and some of them have found their way to the U. As it turned out, the Pontiac Firefly was only sold in Canada. The Chevrolet Sprint was sold only in the Western United States until nationwide sale was begun in Sprint consumers had a choice of ER, Base, and Turbo models. Firefly marketed in FE, Turbo, and Base models. GM continued to market the Chevette until alongside the Sprint. In the United States, the Chevrolet Sprint label was dropped with the introduction of the Geo Metro second-generation Cultus , but it continued to be used for a while longer in Canada.
