About the Suzuki X-90
The Suzuki X-90 is one of the most unconventional vehicles of the 1990s, designed to blend the fun of a sports car with the utility of a compact SUV. Built on the ladder-frame chassis of the Suzuki Vitara, it features a two-seat cabin with removable glass T-top roof panels and a separate boot. While its off-road capability is surprisingly genuine due to its selectable four-wheel-drive system, its polarising styling and lack of practicality led to a short production run. Today, it has gained a cult following as a unique 'radwood' era curiosity.
