The Suzuki Samurai, Suzuki Sidekick, and Geo Tracker were compact sport utility vehicles that enjoyed a loyal following for their off-road capabilities, affordability, and distinctive styling. The Suzuki Samurai, initially launched in 1985, was a true lightweight off-roader, known for its nimble handling and rugged construction. It featured a compact, ladder-frame chassis, a high ground clearance, and a powerful 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine. The Suzuki Sidekick, introduced in 1989, built upon the Samurai's success by offering a more refined and spacious design. It featured a larger 1.6-liter engine, a more comfortable cabin, and a wider range of trim levels. The Geo Tracker, a rebadged Sidekick launched in 1989 by General Motors' Geo brand, aimed to appeal to a broader audience with its sleek styling and modern amenities. All three models shared a similar mechanical setup, featuring four-wheel drive, a manual transmission, and a spacious cargo area.

Despite their relatively small size, these vehicles were incredibly capable off-road. The Samurai's lightweight construction and high ground clearance allowed it to tackle challenging terrain with ease, while the Sidekick and Tracker's more powerful engines and improved handling made them suitable for both on- and off-road adventures. However, the vehicles did face criticism for their lack of safety features and a tendency to roll over in certain situations, leading to the phasing out of their production in the late 1990s. Despite their discontinued production, the Suzuki Samurai, Suzuki Sidekick, and Geo Tracker remain popular among enthusiasts who appreciate their affordability, reliability, and off-road performance. The vehicles have also developed a strong aftermarket community, with parts and accessories readily available for those seeking to restore or modify their vehicles.
