The
Suzuki Cultus is a
supermini car produced by the Japanese manufacturer
Suzuki from 1983 to 2003. It was first presented at the 25th
Tokyo Motor Show, formally introduced to the
Japanese domestic market in 1983 and ultimately sold in seven countries across three generations and marketed worldwide as the
Suzuki Swift. An alliance formed in 1981 between GM and Suzuki (and Isuzu) allowed GM to market the Cultus as a
captive import internationally under more than a dozen nameplates including the
Geo Metro,
Chevrolet Sprint,
Pontiac Firefly and
Holden Barina. It was also known as the
S-car within GM.
