What is the Suzuki X-90?
The X-90 was a small, two-seat SUV with coupe-like styling and off-road character. Its three-box body and removable glass roof panels gave it a distinctive open-air feel. Suzuki developed it from a show car into a production model.
Drawing on the Vitara, the X-90 reflected Suzuki’s strengths in small cars and compact four-wheel-drive vehicles. Its compact cabin and two-seat layout made it a more individual take on the small SUV.
