Suzuki Samurai - The Rugged Car

The Suzuki Samurai (also called the Suzuki SJ-series) was first unveiled in the United States in the year 1985. Almost immediately, it was an overnight sensation for its target market - those who traveled in back country areas. The Suzuki Samurai became widely accepted for its toughness and reliability in harsh off-road conditions.

When it was launched, the Suzuki Samurai was considered an excellent vehicle for beginners in the 4wd (four wheel drive) community. The basic, simple design of the Samurai made it easy for owners to make custom modifications and upgrades.

On a side note, Suzuki also has a range of Samurai motorcycles which too gained good popularity in the automotive market.
