The Suzuki Samurai, a compact and capable off-road vehicle, was produced by Suzuki Motor Corporation from 1985 to 1995. Known for its lightweight design, high ground clearance, and rugged construction, the Samurai quickly became a favorite among enthusiasts seeking an affordable and nimble four-wheel drive vehicle. Its small size and excellent maneuverability made it ideal for navigating challenging terrain, while its simple mechanical layout contributed to its dependability and ease of maintenance. The Samurai's legacy as a capable off-roader was further cemented with the introduction of the Sidekick and Geo Tracker, which offered a more car-like driving experience while retaining the core off-road capabilities of its predecessor.

The Suzuki Samurai and its successors, the Sidekick and Geo Tracker, were powered by a variety of small but efficient gasoline engines, ranging from the 1.3-liter four-cylinder to the 1.6-liter four-cylinder. While known for their durability, these engines generally offered modest power outputs, requiring skilled drivers to make the most of their off-road potential. The Samurai and its derivatives were typically equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, although some models came with an optional four-speed automatic. These vehicles featured a rigid ladder frame chassis, designed to withstand the rigors of off-road driving. Their solid axles and leaf spring suspension provided robust articulation and ground clearance, allowing them to tackle challenging terrain with ease.
