Suzuki Palette

The Suzuki Palette is a kei car that Suzuki produced from January 2008 to February 2013. It has twin rear sliding doors and was built to compete directly with the Daihatsu Tanto. In 2009 the higher-specification Palette S models were replaced by the Palette SW, whose revised front design was meant to compete better with the Tanto Custom, and the range generally performed well in the sales charts once the SW was added. Nissan sold an OEM version as the Roox from December 2009, shown first at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show, with the Roox Highway Star a rebadged Palette SW, and Mazda added another OEM version, the Flair Wagon, in June 2012. The Suzuki Spacia replaced the Palette in February 2013.
