Suzuki SJ: the collection page for the original off-roader ahead of the Samurai, SJ410 at 1.0 litre and SJ413 at 1.3 litres, Hardtop Commercial body, 762 to 1,040 kg unladen weight
The Suzuki SJ, introduced in 1981, is the European and Japanese name for the line sold in export markets as the Samurai. The type designation follows displacement: the SJ410 initially carried the 1.0-litre four-cylinder, the SJ413 the larger 1.3-litre; Q and Deluxe marked higher trim with heating and additional interior fittings, Hardtop Commercial the closed utility version with a fixed body, and QJX, QJL and HJX further trim and market variants. The SJ80 and SJ700 were late developments shortly before the final replacement by the Samurai and Jimny.

The register lists 17 versions here with 797 to 1,324 cm³ displacement from four-cylinder engines, weights of 762 to 1,040 kg, gross vehicle weights of 1,140 to 1,445 kg and widths of 1,450 to 1,620 mm.
With its very low kerb weight, the SJ was an affordable entry into the off-roader class and found buyers in agriculture, forestry and as a simple second vehicle in rural areas; it formed the technical basis for the later, considerably more successful Samurai.
On a used example, check rust on the chassis rails and sills, the condition of the wheel bearings and rear drum brakes, and on soft-top or hardtop versions the seals; mechanical parts are generally still obtainable through specialist importers thanks to the close relationship with the Samurai and Jimny.
