Sep 19841986Sep 2009MediumStart: suzuki.co.jp
End: ja.wikipedia.org
Notes

Start from Suzuki's launch sheet. Japanese Wikipedia says the July 1986 minor change moved the range to the 72V codes; the end month is that change. Five-door added August 1985 (Suzuki sheet) under the same code. End month removed: Japanese Wikipedia says the range became 72V at the July 1986 minor change, which dates the successor code, not this code's last build. Year 1986 kept. Start is a sale date; production date not published.

Notes

Japanese Wikipedia dates the switch to 72V codes to July 1986; Suzuki's Alto Works sheet (on sale February 1987) lists CA72V. One code covers many grades, so the code alone does not identify a Works. Generation sold to September 1988. End is the generation sale period end in Japanese Wikipedia (1984年9月–1988年9月): sale date; production date not published. Start is a sale date; production date not published.

Japanese Wikipedia: 4WD added December 1984; 72V codes from July 1986. Suzuki's August 1985 five-door sheet lists CC71V. Start month not confirmed by Suzuki. End month removed: Japanese Wikipedia says the range became 72V at the July 1986 minor change, which dates the successor code, not this code's last build. Year 1986 kept.

Suzuki's five-door sheet notes its figures are July 1986 data and lists CC72V; Works RS-R (February 1987) is CC72V. End from Wikipedia's generation sales period (to September 1988). End source corrected: September 1988 is the generation sale period end in Japanese Wikipedia (1984年9月–1988年9月); the Alto Works sheet (February 1987) does not state it.

Generation production ended October 1994 and sales November 1994 (Japanese Wikipedia). Wikipedia also lists 22-series codes (CL22V, CM22V, CS22S) for the generation; whether some 21-series grades were recoded at the September 1991 minor change is not established, so the end date may be early for some grades.

Notes

Suzuki's Digital Library dates the Alto Hustle to 1991 (year only) and lists E-CR22S and V-CM22V. Japanese Wikipedia: added November 1991, production ended October 1993; Wikipedia also says sales ended September 1992, so the end is uncertain. Wikipedia lists CM22V in the general 3rd-generation code list too, so a CM22V may be a non-Hustle van. Start month and end removed: the November 1991 to October 1993 dates are the Alto Hustle's, but Wikipedia also lists CM22V as a regular 3rd-generation Alto van code, so a CM22V can be a non-Hustle van with a different span. Year 1991 kept (Hustle CM22V added November 1991 per Wikipedia; Suzuki's Digital Library also dates it 1991). Start is a sale date; production date not published.

Suzuki's release and engine table date the K6A change to September 2001 but do not print the type code; the DA62T code and its replacement by DA63T at the 16 May 2002 cabin redesign come from Japanese Wikipedia. Both 2WD and 4WD use DA62T. End month removed and end source moved to Japanese Wikipedia, which is what ties DA62T's replacement by DA63T to the 16 May 2002 revision; the replacement month is not DA62T's own last build. Year 2002 kept. Start is a sale date; production date not published.

Date basis: the start is Wikipedia's range-wide F5B change (May 1989) and the end is Carsensor's range-wide last 550 cc period (to January 1990); DB41T's own grade page was not opened.

Notes

Start from Suzuki's launch spec sheet, which lists M-DB71T. End month not stated for the 4WD code itself; set to April 1989 because Wikipedia dates the F5B change (DB41T) to May 1989 and Carsensor's last F5A period ends April 1989. End month removed: no source states DB71T's last month (the May 1989 F5B change belongs to DB41T, and the Carsensor April 1989 period is the 2WD DA71T's). Year 1989 kept from Wikipedia's dating of the F5B changeover. Start is a sale date; production date not published.

Japanese Wikipedia says announced February 1990; Suzuki's sheet says on sale March 1990. End month is the JA12/JA22 launch (November 1995); JA11's own last build month is not published. Not named in the JDMBUYSELL file but a core 1990-1995 Jimny code. End month removed: November 1995 is the JA12/JA22 launch month, not a JA11 date. Year 1995 kept from Suzuki's sheet for the replacement. Start is a sale date; production date not published.

Notes

Suzuki: JA71 debuted January 1986. Suzuki's JA11 page says the JA11 appeared with the March 1990 kei-rule change; JA71 end month is that changeover. Not named in the JDMBUYSELL file but a core 1985-1990 Jimny code. End month removed: March 1990 is the JA11 changeover, not a stated JA71 last build. Year 1990 kept from Suzuki's JA11 page. Start is a sale date; production date not published.

Not a kei car. Suzuki 4X4 History also dates it January 1998. Japanese Wikipedia: JB43 replaced it in April 2000 (initially still called Jimny Wide, renamed Jimny Sierra January 2002). End month removed: April 2000 is the JB43 replacement month in Japanese Wikipedia, not a stated JB33 end. Year 2000 kept. Start is a sale date; production date not published.

Dates are the pages the researchers could open, not a manufacturer's complete archive. A wrong date here can cost someone a car: send a correction with a source. How the dates, confidence levels and the 25-year line work: how to read this list.

General information only, not legal, customs or tax advice. Dates are researcher readings of the cited sources and can be wrong; eligibility is decided by the build date of the specific car. Confirm current requirements with CBP, NHTSA, the EPA and your state motor vehicle agency before importing.
