Suzuki Cultus III (Crescent) photos

Launching in January 1995, the third-generation Suzuki Cultus Crescent (GA/GB/GC/GD chassis series) elevated the nameplate into the C-segment class. Available as a 3-door hatchback, 4-door sedan, and 5-door station wagon (Cultus Crescent Wagon), it was exported globally as the Suzuki Baleno and Esteem. Structural updates included independent MacPherson struts on all four wheels.

Engines comprised 1.3-liter (85 hp), 1.6-liter (99 hp), and 1.8-liter DOHC (121 hp) four-cylinders. A 1998 facelift dropped the 'Crescent' suffix in Japan, updating the front end with almond-shaped headlamps.
