The first Suzuki-branded 4-wheel drive, the LJ10, was introduced in 1970. It had a 359 cc air-cooled, 2 stroke, in-line 2 cyl engine. The 1972 LJ20 was liquid-cooled (new emission regulations). Grille bars were changed from horizontal to vertical. A hardtop now available. 1975 saw the new LJ50, it got a 539 cc, 2 stroke, 3 cyl engine. Originally targeted at the Australian market, but more exports soon followed. A facelift in 1977, introduced rear wheel arch metal flares and a bigger bonnet or hood with cooling slots above the radiator. The LJ80 was an updated version of the LJ50 with an 800 cc, 4 stroke, 4 cyl engine. The interior was also improved, with new seats and steering wheel. Metal doors became available for the first time in 1979, and a pickup truck model (LJ81) was also available now.
