Suzuki Hustler

The Suzuki Hustler is a crossover SUV-styled kei car that Suzuki has produced since 2014 and that Mazda also sells as the Flair Crossover under an OEM agreement. Suzuki chose the name for the car's lively, rough-riding image, recalling its older Hustler TS two-stroke dual-sport motorcycles in Japan and the Suzuki T20 sold in the United States as the Hustler in the late 1960s. The first generation, shown as a concept at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, used the platform of the fifth-generation Wagon R and went on sale in January 2014 with the R06A engine in naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms; it won the 2014 Car of the Year award of the Japan Automotive Hall of Fame. The second generation appeared in concept form at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show and takes its styling from the fourth-generation Jimny.
