In December 1994, a 2.0 V6 (Suzuki's first six-cylinder) and a 2.0-litre Mazda-sourced turbodiesel were added in return, Mazda got to sell the Escudo in the Japanese market as the Proceed Levante with V6 models styling. European deliveries of the five-door version began in the summer of 1991. 1991 brought the introduction of rear anti-lock brakes. It was thought that the 5-door would overlap with the shorter 3-door in the market instead, it appealed to a whole new segment and sales in the domestic Japanese market doubled as a result. Three months later a 5-door version with a lengthened wheelbase was introduced it was sold as the 'Escudo Nomade' in Japan. At the same time, the commercial Van version was discontinued. In August 1990, the Japanese market received a 16-valve G16B engine with 100 PS (73.5 kW) as well as an optional 4-speed automatic. A carburetted version without a catalytic converter was available for some markets this model produces 75 PS (55 kW) at 5250 rpm. 1990 brought the deletion of the upscale JLX version. A fuel injected 80 hp (60 kW) 1.6-litre, 8-valve, four-cylinder Suzuki G16A engine was available on the JX and JLX. North American Sidekick became available for model year 1989 as a 2-door convertible or hardtop. The Suzuki Escudo was first introduced in the Japanese domestic market in July 1988. The choice of the name “Vitara” was inspired by the Latin word “vita,” as in English word “ vitality.” 'Escudo', the name primarily used in the Japanese Domestic Market, refers to the ' escudo', the monetary unit of Portugal before adoption of the Euro. It is slightly larger than the SX4 S-Cross. The model introduced in 2022 reuses the 'Grand Vitara' nameplate. It shares the platform and many components with the slightly larger SX4 S-Cross. The fourth generation, released in 2015, reverted to the original name 'Vitara' in most markets, but shifted from an off-road SUV towards a more road-oriented crossover style. The third generation was launched in 2005. It was accompanied by a still larger SUV known as the Suzuki XL-7 (known as Grand Escudo in Japan). The second generation was launched in 1998 under the 'Grand Vitara' badge in most markets. It was also sold as the Santana 300 and 350 in Spain and in the Japanese market, it was also sold as the Mazda Proceed Levante. The North American version was produced as a joint venture between Suzuki and General Motors known as CAMI. The first generation was known as Suzuki Sidekick in the United States.

The original series was designed to fill the slot above the Suzuki Jimny. In Japan and a number of other markets, all generations have used the name Suzuki Escudo ( Japanese: スズキ・エスクード, Hepburn: Suzuki Esukūdo). The second, third-generation and 2022 models are known as the Suzuki Grand Vitara, with the fourth generation eschewing the 'Grand' prefix. The Suzuki Vitara is a series of SUVs produced by Suzuki in five generations since 1988. Front-engine, four-wheel-drive (1988–present).Front-engine, front-wheel-drive (2015–present).Good heat, all lights work, and mechanically in amazing condition. All the components are in place, I just never needed AC. It is an AC car, but the AC does not work. Basically it keeps the wind and water out. I used metal screws to hold them in place last year.

It comes with a top, but the molding that holds the side windows in place is cracked. People always stop to talk about this truck. This truck will go anywhere a car can go on the road or a fourwheeler can go in the woods. This is the perfect vehicle for someone who wants to drive their fourwheeler to the hunt club or to the woods. There is no rust on this truck, none on the frame and none on the body. It drives great at highway speeds, doesn't shake, bounce around or wander on the road. It shifts perfect, clutch is great, and 4 wheel drive works great. The Sidekick does not leak any fluids, burn any oil, make any funny noises and has no check engine lights. It starts right up, idles perfectly and has plenty of power on the highway or in the woods.

The rims are black aluminum eagle alloy wheels. It has an offroad bumper, 9000k pound SmittyBuilt winch and 2 KC lights. It has been wrapped in a military camo vinyl wrap and it looks great. It has a 2 inch suspension lift and a 1 inch body lift with 31 inch mud terrain tires. This is the fuel injected 1.6L engine (very reliable engine). This is a 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 4x4 with only 87000 miles.
