Suzuki Cultus sales fell about 29 per cent in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026-27 to 826 units, from 1,163 units in the same period a year earlier, according to data released by the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA).

The decline was steepest in September 2026, when sales dropped to 138 units from 427 units in September 2025, PAMA data show. August 2026 sales also fell, to 296 units from 497 units a year earlier, while July 2026 sales rose to 392 units from 239 units.

Production of the Cultus moved in the opposite direction. Output rose to 1,424 units in the quarter from 1,216 units a year earlier, an increase of 208 units, or approximately 17.1 per cent.

At the industry level, PAMA data point to a broad recovery in the first quarter of FY2026-27, which it dates from July to September 2026. Passenger car production rose 32 per cent year on year and sales 43 per cent. Commercial vehicles, trucks and buses recorded growth of 54 per cent in production and 46 per cent in sales, while two and three wheelers rose 28 per cent in both. Farm tractor sales were up 38 per cent even as production contracted 15 per cent.

The association attributed the renewed momentum to easing inflationary pressures and an improving macroeconomic environment. The light commercial vehicle, jeep and pickup segment was the exception, with production up a nominal 1 per cent and sales down 34 per cent.
