Suzuki Engines & Motors

Suzuki's History in the U.S.

Suzuki is the 12th largest automobile production company in the world and has a presence in 192 different countries. The production of automobiles began in 1937 with a prototype liquid-cooled four-cylinder, four-stroke engine. The innovative power plant had a cast aluminum crankcase and emitted 13 horsepower. The war years put an end to thoughts of such non-essential equipment and it was not until the 1950's that the company, famous for its looms, returned to thoughts of motorized transport. The first post war invention was the 1952 Power Free, a lightweight engine attached to a bicycle. The motorcycle could be pedaled, run on engine power alone, or used in combination. Suzuki Motor Corporation sprang from these beginnings.

In 1955, the company launched the innovative Suzulight with front wheel drive, rack-and-pinion steering, and four wheel independent suspension--features that would not become standard on other cars until 50 years later. In 1963, Suzuki made its appearance in the United States and has been a strong contender for sales in the U.S. since. In fact, in 2003, Suzuki racked up the 30th straight #1 Keicar annual sales position.

Suzuki has the honor of selling more cars in the U.S. during its first year than any other Japanese company. It claimed this honor with the Suzuki Samurai. Other well known models are the Sidekick, Twin and Grand Vitara.
