SUZUKI SIDEKICK AFTERMARKET PARTS SERIES

1990 brought the deletion of the upscale JLX version. A fuel injected 80 hp (60 kW) 1.6-litre, 8-valve, four-cylinder Suzuki G16A engine was available on the JX and JLX. North American Sidekick became available for model year 1989 as a 2-door convertible or hardtop.

The Suzuki Escudo was first introduced in the Japanese domestic market in July 1988. The choice of the name “Vitara” was inspired by the Latin word “vita,” as in English word “ vitality.” 'Escudo', the name primarily used in the Japanese Domestic Market, refers to the ' escudo', the monetary unit of Portugal before adoption of the Euro. It is slightly larger than the SX4 S-Cross. The model introduced in 2022 reuses the 'Grand Vitara' nameplate. It shares the platform and many components with the slightly larger SX4 S-Cross. The fourth generation, released in 2015, reverted to the original name 'Vitara' in most markets, but shifted from an off-road SUV towards a more road-oriented crossover style. The third generation was launched in 2005. It was accompanied by a still larger SUV known as the Suzuki XL-7 (known as Grand Escudo in Japan). The second generation was launched in 1998 under the 'Grand Vitara' badge in most markets. It was also sold as the Santana 300 and 350 in Spain and in the Japanese market, it was also sold as the Mazda Proceed Levante. The North American version was produced as a joint venture between Suzuki and General Motors known as CAMI. The first generation was known as Suzuki Sidekick in the United States.
