The Description Difference between Model Years and Production Years

Due to our use of open network databases, like Wikipedia and Autohome , for some of our vehicle data, there might be minor variations in the descriptions found in our SKU designs. "Production Years" are the years when a specific model is first introduced to the public market . On the other hand, "Model Years" refer to the different versions of a model that were available to consumers in different years . These differences in model years often come with changes to the exterior or interior design of the vehicle. When searching for car information on websites or through dealers, typically you are searching based on 'Model Years'. For instance, the third generation of the Honda Accord was introduced on June 4th, 1985, and ceased production in 1989. ‘1985-1989’ represents the ‘Production Years’ of the Accord, while the ‘Model Years’ in automobile databases are listed as ‘1986-1989’. Due to the different sources of information, there may be differences in the way they are presented. As our products cover car parts and accessories, we have incorporated both "Production Years" and "Model Years" terminology. Please note this.

5-door hard top: Available all 4 generations, longest door span, most common export body style

Material and Design Options

Available in three primary materials:

PC (Polycarbonate): High flexibility, impact-resistant, pairs with 3D stainless steel trim
Acrylic (PMMA): Optically clear, rigid, pairs with mirror stainless steel trim
PS (Polystyrene): Cost-effective, pairs with electroplated bright strip trim

Color styles: Black, Translucent, Smoke, 2-Tone. Installation methods: Clip-on, Tape-on, In-Channel, Out-Channel.

Design Variants and Manufacturing Process

Chrome Trim Design Options

Three chrome trim styles are available, each paired with a specific main-body material:

Electroplated Bright Strip: Chrome plating on PS plastic blanks. Produces a shiny metallic luster under high light. The curvature is more three-dimensional and rounder than 3D stainless steel. Anti-oxidation surface treatment available for weather resistance. Typically paired with PS material.
Mirror Stainless Steel: Nearly embedded installation in the door visor groove. The chrome trim fits smoothly, providing a flat-mirror reflection effect. The large curvature of the visor body complements this smooth design. Pairs with acrylic (PMMA) material.
3D Stainless Steel: Top and bottom sides with a protruding vertex in the middle form a curved design. Produces varying reflection effects under different light angles. Pairs with PC material, which allows the visor to be bent to a large extent.

Manufacturing Process Comparison

Process	Machinable Thickness	Mold Cost	Best For
Injection Molding	2.0mm - 2.5mm	Higher	High-precision, high-volume orders
Plastic Uptake (Vacuum Forming)	1.2mm - 1.8mm	Lower	Cost-sensitive, smaller batch runs

Generation-Specific Door Visor Differences

Door frame geometry differs significantly across 4 generations. Each generation requires its own molding profile:

1st Gen (ET/TA): Boxy, upright door frame. 2-door convertible has narrower doors than 3-door/5-door. Door visor has the most angular profile of all generations.
2nd Gen (FT/GT): Rounded door frame, larger windows. 3-door and 5-door share similar curvature but different lengths.
3rd Gen (JT): Monocoque body, more steeply raked A-pillar. Door frame curvature is tighter than 2nd gen.
4th Gen (LY): Crossover styling, significantly different from 1st-3rd gen. Only 5-door body style. Most aerodynamic door frame of all generations.

Not Interchangeable: Platform Relatives

The following vehicles share platforms or DNA with the Vitara but have different body panels and are not compatible:

Suzuki X-90 (1995-1997): Mechanically identical to 1st gen Vitara but completely different round body with trunk and T-bar roof. Door frame is unrelated.
Suzuki XL-7 / Grand Escudo (2001-2007): Extended-wheelbase 7-seater built on Grand Vitara platform. Longer doors, different window geometry.
Suzuki SX4 S-Cross (2013-present): Shares platform with 4th gen Vitara (LY) but different body dimensions and door frame shape.
Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara (2022+, India): Reuses the "Grand Vitara" nameplate but is an entirely different vehicle based on the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder platform. Not related to the LY Vitara.
Suzuki Jimny: Smaller ladder-frame 4x4, different platform, different door dimensions.

Facelift Compatibility Notes

1st Gen facelift (1996): Exterior refresh, door frame unchanged. All 1988-1998 visors are interchangeable within this generation.
2nd Gen facelift (2001): Minor grille and trim updates. Door frame geometry unchanged.
3rd Gen facelift (2012): Front and rear bumper updates. Door frame stampings unchanged.
4th Gen facelift (2020): Updated front grille and headlights. Door frame profile unchanged through 2025.

JDM Escudo Discontinuation Note

The Japanese domestic market Escudo was discontinued in April 2024. The 4th gen LY Vitara continues in production at Magyar Suzuki (Hungary) for global markets. JDM inventory remains available through Japanese dealer networks for the 2024 model year.

Chrome trim for door visors --- Electroplated bright strip shape design Electroplated bright strip shape design with PS material main body

Electroplated Bright Strip Shape Design

Electroplated bright trims are processed with chrome plating technology on high-quality plastic blanks. The processed chrome-plated bright trim can present a more shiny metallic luster under high light compared to 3D stainless steel decorative strips. When touched by hand, the curvature of the electroplated bright trim is more three-dimensional and rounder than that of the 3D stainless steel chrome trim. To improve weather resistance characteristics, anti-oxidation surface treatment can be applied to electroplated bright trims. Electroplated bright trim s are usually matched with PS materials.

Mirror stainless steel design with PS material main body

Mirror Stainless Steel Design

The design of mirror stainless steel creates a nearly embedded installation for the chrome trim, which is smoothly installed in the groove of the door visor. The chrome trim fits smoothly into the groove of the door visor, providing a smooth feel when touched by hand. This smooth design reflects light differently from 3D stainless steel designs, with a single reflection angle that makes it look more like a flat mirror when reflecting objects. The large curvature of the door visor main body complements the smooth decorative design, creating an obvious turning point relationship and enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.

3D Stainless Steel Design

The shape of the 3D stainless steel trim is more three-dimensional and rounded than the mirror stainless steel shape. The top and bottom sides of the chrome trim and the protruding vertex in the middle form a curved design. When touched by hand, you can intuitively feel the change in curvature. This curved shape produces varying reflection effects under high light at different angles. The main body of the door visor itself already has a certain curve design, and when they are paired together, they show a more traditional design style. 3D Stainless steel chrome trims are commonly used with PC material door visors. The flexibility of the PC material allows for this type of door visor with such a design can be bent to a large extent.
