Hey Hoot Fam! Welcome to another post on the World of Ethan Website. There are many cars around the world. The world's best-selling vehicle comes from Toyota, The Toyota Corolla.
While some car brands like Toyota sell their cars worldwide, some car brands sell them to only specific countries. So, here's my list of the cars that are not sold in the US (Or I haven't seen them in the USA)
the Suzuki Alto car range
The 'Altos' is a car range that is made by the Japanese Car Manufacturer Suzuki (Yes, they also make motorbikes...)
They started to appear in the car market in 2000. Now, the Alto range has a few cars, that look similar. In this range, there is the;
Suzuki Alto
Suzuki Alto 800
Suzuki Alto 800 AC
Suzuki Alto K10
Saftey-wise, they have 2 stars in Global NCAP
2. Suzuki Swift
Staying with Suzuki, the Swift is another Suzuki Car that first came to the market in 1983. According to Wikipedia, The Swift was first made as a rebadged version of a car, which goes by the name of 'Suzuki Cultus' and then made a global version from 2004 onwards.
Suzuki got so creative with this car, that they made an electric version of the Swift in 2009. Wikipedia says that this had a range of 30km (48 mi), in comparison, the 2023 Nissan Ariya has a range of 489.2 km (304 mi)
3. Suzuki Celerio/A-Star
This is the Suzuki Celerio, another hatchback made by Suzuki since 2008. If you are from Pakistan, you might recognize the above picture as the Suzuki Cultus.
If you are from South Africa, you might recognize the above picture as the New Toyota Vitz, which is just a rebadged Suzuki Celerio.
But yeah... this is the new Suzuki Celerio. It looks like our old pal from 2017 just went to the gym and lifted some weights for 6 years!
4. Suzuki WagonR
This is the Suzuki WagonR, another hatchback made by Suzuki way back in 1993. Suzuki made 3 versions of this hatchback;
Suzuki WagonR Hybrid FX
Suzuki WagonR Hybrid FZ
Suzuki WagonR Stingray Hybrid T
Mazda had their eyes on the Stingray and made 2 versions of the same car; namely the AZ Wagon and the Flair.
5. Toyota Innova/Innova Crysta
This is the Toyota Innova, an MPV launched by the Japanese manufacturer Toyota. There was also a twin for this MPV called the Innova Crysta. Toyota started to make this in 2004, after the introduction of the Toyota Avanza (I'll show that to you later...) in 2003. When Toyota made the second generation of this MPV, they named it the 'Innova Crysta'
I remember the iconic advert that was made for this MPV in 2017. Here, I'll show you!
6. Toyota Avanza
This is the Toyota Avanza, the Innova's predecessor. This MPV was first launched in 2003. Some people might know this MPV as the Daihatsu Xenia, and that's because Toyota's subsidiary; Daihatsu makes rebadged Toyotas. Don't believe me?
7. Toyota Premio
This is the Toyota Premio, a compact car (or at least according to Wikipedia) that was first launched in 2001. Like the Innova earlier, the Premio also has a twin, who goes by the name of Toyota Allion. This car is a usual sight in places like Sri Lanka, but Toyota discontinued it in 2021.
8. Micro Geely Panda
Now this is a car that is made for first-time car drivers. This is a cheap city car produced by the Chinese car brand 'Geely' from 2011 to 2016. This car is so cheap, that if it was sold in the US, this car would cost about $5,682.61, for that price I could buy 3x 1TB Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultras and still have $1,125 left! or buy 3x 1TB iPhone 14 Pro Maxs and have $885 left!
9. Honda N Box
This vehicle is called a 'kei' car. This 'box' was first launched in 2011 as the N-BOX+. There are 4 box cars like this in the 'N-Family'; N-BOX, N-WGN, N-ONE, and N-VAN.
There you have it... These are the cars that I haven't seen in the US. Hope you liked this post, please like this post if you did. And I'll catch you in the next one!
Stay Safe
God Bless!
