![]() This truck will go anywhere a car can go on the road or a fourwheeler can go in the woods. This is the perfect vehicle for someone who wants to drive their fourwheeler to the hunt club or to the woods. There is no rust on this truck, none on the frame and none on the body. It drives great at highway speeds, doesn't shake, bounce around or wander on the road. It shifts perfect, clutch is great, and 4 wheel drive works great. The Sidekick does not leak any fluids, burn any oil, make any funny noises and has no check engine lights. It starts right up, idles perfectly and has plenty of power on the highway or in the woods. The rims are black aluminum eagle alloy wheels. It has an offroad bumper, 9000k pound SmittyBuilt winch and 2 KC lights. It has been wrapped in a military camo vinyl wrap and it looks great. It has a 2 inch suspension lift and a 1 inch body lift with 31 inch mud terrain tires. This is the fuel injected 1.6L engine (very reliable engine). Nearly seven inches of ground clearance and high approach and departure angles meant the X-90 was actually decent at scampering over rough terrain-our 1996 review described it as "nimble and surefooted." But the X-90 certainly wasn’t quick-in that test, the X-90 trudged to 60 mph in 10.8 seconds on its way to a drag-limited 94-mph top speed.This is a 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 4x4 with only 87000 miles. Although offered with rear-wheel drive, this example features four-wheel drive, routing its power through a five-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. When new, the 1.6-liter inline-four produced 95 horsepower and 98 pound-feet of torque. In hindsight, the X-90's failure isn’t surprising-starting at $15,389, the X-90 had two fewer seats than the similarly priced three-door Toyota RAV4 and less storage space thanks to the sedanlike three-box design. But the quirky X-90 failed to catch on, shifting just 7000 units in the U.S. Related to the Suzuki Sidekick (known abroad as the Vitara), the X-90 was launched in 1995, with Suzuki telling Car and Driver at the time that it needed to sell 12,000 units per year in the United States in order to turn a profit. 20 Ugliest SUVs and Crossovers of All Time.Tested: 1996 Suzuki X90 Remains a Weird Idea.If you agree, you'll be interested to learn that this 1996 Suzuki X-90 4x4 is up for sale on the Bring a Trailer auction site-which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos. The subcompact crossover class may now be one of the most crowded automotive segments, but the car-based blobs on offer today could hardly be considered utes, and none of the entrants quite capture the aura of the diminutive but capable X-90. On our May 1995 issue's cover, we boldly proclaimed that mini-utes like the Suzuki X-90 would be "the next big thing." Nearly 30 years later, it's safe to say we were wrong. Just over 7000 were sold in the United States over a three-year production run, far below Suzuki's targets at the time. ![]() The X-90 has a measly 95 horsepower from its 1.6-liter inline-four, but four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case, and almost seven inches of ground clearance made it a capable mini off-roader.This 1996 Suzuki X-90 4x4 is up for sale on the Bring a Trailer auction site, with bidding currently at $5000 in an auction that ends on Sunday, March 27.
