The Suzuki X-90 is a small two-door, two-seater SUV manufactured and marketed from October 1995 to May 1997 by Suzuki. Related to the Suzuki Sidekick, the X-90 featured a T-section removable roof.
The X-90 replaced the Samurai for the United States market. It started selling in Japan by the end of 1995, and in Western markets in April 1996.
The X-90 used a 1.6 L I4 16-valve engine which produced 95 hp (71 kW) and was available with four wheel drive or rear wheel drive and either a 5-speed manual or automatic transmission. The X-90 featured dual air bags, anti-lock brakes, optional Air conditioning and a dealer-installed 6 disc CD changer. The suspension used MacPherson struts and coil springs in front and coil springs with wishbone and trailing links in the rear. A full-sized spare wheel is stored in the trunk and space behind the two seats offers further cargo area.
The X-90 was initially a concept car shown at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show. It received wide praise from the public. The production vehicle was shown in 1995 and started to sell by the end of that year in Japan, with international markets the following year. Despite the praise and mostly positive reviews, the X-90 sold 1,348 X-90s examples in Japan, and a total of 7,205 X-90s were imported into the US. More than half in the US were sold in 1996, with sales dropping to 2,087 the next year and just 477 in 1998. During 1996, 484 vehicles were imported into Australia. It was also imported into Europe.
