HISTORY
X-90
|
The
Suzuki brand is known to many people, particularly because of the small
and economical Alto and Swift cars, and of course its 4x4 jeeps, including
the Samurai and the Vitara. But
who has heard of the X-90 4x4? The X-90 is something for the true
enthusiast. Take the design, for example. For
those sunny days Xpeditions there is a removable hard-glass T-top, which
can be stored quickly and safely in the trunk. |
The
Suzuki X-90 4x4 was produced from April 1996 to May 1997. |
In
1996, Suzuki introduced the X-90 4x4. The X-90 4x4 was originally a
concept car and was well received by the public. The
slogan for the X-90 was "What are you staring at?" But sales
were bad and the X-90 4x4 was also a flop for Suzuki. A
total of 7,205 X-90s were imported into the United States. 1997
saw the creation of the Phillippe Cousteaux Edition. This included running
boards as an extra. When
Suzuki decided to bring the Suzuki Vitara onto the market, the Suzuki X-90
4x4 disappeared because the Vitara was cheaper and had more room inside.

240
X-90s have been imported into the Netherlands since 1996. According to the
RDC there are now (2006) still 160 of them on the Dutch roads. The
total number of X-90s in the world is unknown. According
to the Dutch importer, Nimag, accessories and spare parts for the X-90 are
still available in the Netherlands. Moreover, because the X-90 was built on the platform used for the Vitara, some Vitara accessories can also be used for the X-90. |
