About Suzuki

Michio Suzuki founded the Suzuki Loom Works in Hamamatsu, Japan, in 1909. Suzuki worked with General Motors on several small cars, so some Suzukis here have Geo and Chevrolet twins.

Same car, different badge

Sidekick is the near-identical twin of the Geo and Chevrolet Tracker, built alongside it in Ontario.
Swift was the export name for the Suzuki Cultus, which was also sold as the Geo and Chevrolet Metro.
Equator is based on the Nissan Frontier and built by Nissan.
Verona is the Daewoo Magnus, and Forenza and Reno are the Daewoo Lacetti, sold in some markets as the Nubira.
