I agree it's the same car, I was just making a little joke about how different* they are from one another.

According to Wiki no.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Kei

Though that still looks like an Ignis with a different front to me.

Though without putting the two together it's hard to tell. Obviously the Ignises we got probably had bigger engines but I think they might fit Kei car dimensions.

Maybe the Ignis and Keis designers desks were next to each other?

Yeah, I knew X-Trails existed. I didn't know they made an X-Trail GT with a 280bhp Silvia engine, and now I really want one.

Must be a Spanish/European thing, I remember the Suzuki Samurai being badged Santana in some markets. 
My 1.0L was a Santana but the 1.3 I had a few years later was a Samurai. 😵‍💫

I recall the Defender having something similar happen to it but I wasn’t aware they still sold them that way.

Santanas are more like Series Landies than Defenders as they still had leaf springs and latterly Iveco engines, and were also known as the Iveco Massif. Suzuki Samurais were also made under license by Santana, both Spanish and Japanese-built versions being sold here (hence the different names), and IIRC the soft-top Jimny was a Santana product although sold here as a Suzuki.

It is but I’d consider its overall looks ‘challenging’ and under 200 mile range in something like that just isn’t good enough anymore imo.

Apologies if this has already been posted (couldn't be arsed to check 140 odd pages of this thread, but the Kiwi built Trekka (not the 4wd Kangoo) surely deserves a place here.

CUUUUTE! I absolutely love it, especially as it's such a blatant Land Rover rip off (albeit 2wd). It's like a little boy trying to convince people, he's a grown up. I AM A LAND ROVER, I AM!

 

 

The Trekka was the only vehicle produced in New Zealand. It was based on the Skoda Octavia Combi

^ Looks like an AI generated kit car based on the Burlington but with an old Marcos tail-end, games console steering, wooden-boat cockpit surround, and no suspension travel..  Sorry not at all "jaw-dropping" for me.

I bet that handles *very well indeed*… Or something.
