Suzuki Samurai

SUV · 1986–1995

The Suzuki Samurai was a compact off-road SUV that became wildly popular in the late 1980s for its affordable price and genuine 4x4 capability. Despite a controversial Consumer Reports rollover test in 1988, the Samurai built a loyal following among off-road enthusiasts who appreciated its lightweight body, solid axles, and low-range transfer case for serious trail work.
