Attention minimalists: Suzuki has the coolest Tiny Camper
According to car magazines, the Japanese love conversion kits that give their domestic vehicles the look of an automotive legend. The Suzuki Every, already a cult car in itself, is also available in T1 bodywork or, as presented at the Tokyo Auto Salon a few days ago, with a Landrover Defender-style radiator grille. The tuners at Damd have also made the Microvan technically fit for off-road use, with more suspension travel and tires with better grip. However, you should not expect the power of a Defender from the Every. It belongs to the kei-car class, which is very popular in Japan. These tax-privileged microcars are not allowed to have engines with more than 64 hp.
As you can see in the video, the Every has all the features of a camper van inside. However, you have to lie down under the pop-up roof to be able to sleep stretched out. The first floor behind the driver's seats can only comfortably accommodate short people and children. Just how small the Suzuki Every actually is is, of course, known to those who are familiar with the vehicle. For everyone else, it becomes obvious in the video when the tuners stand next to it and present its features. It is just under 3.5 meters long and therefore a few centimeters shorter than the current version of the Fiat 500. That's not enough for a whole family with bikes. But for singles or even a minimalist couple, the Tiny Camper could be an option. The only problem is that it was designed for the Japanese market and is therefore steered to the right.In the video, the tuning specialists show how they replace the Suzuki front end with the Defender mock-up. Probably with detailed commentary, in any case in Japanese.
