It appealed to buyers seeking go-anywhere capability in a small, fuel-efficient package, often targeting younger demographics or those needing a light-duty off-road vehicle for recreational purposes. Competitive Analysis Competitive Analysis: Competed against the Suzuki Vitara (sidekick), early generation Honda CR-V, and Mitsubishi Pajero Mini. Key differentiators included its compact dimensions, relatively simple mechanicals, and often more budget-friendly price point, though it typically lacked the outright refinement or power of some larger competitors. Key Features Key Features: Compact unibody construction, available 4WD system with low-range gearing (on some models), relatively upright styling, compact footprint for urban maneuverability, and a focus on practicality and affordability. The J100 generation was known for its robust, if basic, engineering. 📋 Manual Details Coverage Areas Coverage Areas: Engine, Transmission, Drivetrain, Suspension, Steering, Brakes, Electrical System, Fuel System, Cooling System, Exhaust System, Bodywork, Interior, HVAC, Diagnostic procedures, Maintenance schedules.
