1.3 What years were they produced?
The official introduction of the Samurai in the United States was for
the 1986 model year, although a few SJ-410s were unofficially brought
in by various means before then. Suzuki stopped exporting them to California
in 1994, and the rest of the country in 1995. For the rest of the world,
Suzuki had begun production of the SJ-series in 1982, and continues
to build them today in several different factories. In many countries,
the leaf-sprung model is sold alongside the later coil-sprung model
and the all-new Jimny.
