It's been a long time since a rugged, off-road 4WD seemed
out of place cruising along ordinary roads. But, as with a
sports car, what hasn't changed is that this type of vehicle
still has many elements that drivers find exhilarating. The
SP-4 is a new type of off-road 4WD in which these elements
have been taken half a step into the future. A strong,
modern design and outstanding power performance with enough
room to seat four in comfort, all of those are packaged in a
light car size, making this a new concept for the 21st
century.
 The
squareness of the body is accentuated by discharge headlamps
offering excellent visibility and width is emphasized by a
narrower front. The SP-4 presents a sturdy, innovative
exterior appearance, with stable-looking trapezoidal module
front doors, the bumper, wheel protectors, the locker
protector, and basket-shaped side panels all clearly
describing the lines of the frame. As for the interior, the
instrument panel is given an aluminum-like finish
complementing the car's futuristic image. The panel was also
designed to be highly water-resistant. The driver
information display,located at the top of the instrument
panel center, is retractable and the drive-function switches
are laid out inside the instrument panel center in a manner
which offers both functionality and operational fun.
The design creates a roomy interior equipped with various
functions inside a package 3,395 mm long, 1,475 mm wide and
1,645 (±50) mm high. The front seat, which can be
reclined to a fully-flat position, has a 50-mm vertical
adjustment stroke and a longitudinal adjustment stroke.
There is an ottoman to rest the feet on when the seat is
reclined. The result is a seating comfort and amenities on a
par with those on a first-class flight, giving a high degree
of comfort and convenience whether driving or taking a nap.
The rear seats can be folded down flat, creating a large
luggage space.
The SP-4 has a ±50 mm front-back, right-left vehicle
height adjustment function, and bumpers shaped to stay clear
of the ground. The result is a high ground damage angle and
minimum ground clearance. With its full-time, Hi-Lo
switchable 4WD and large 175/80R16 tires, the SP-4 delivers
an outstanding ride. For improved repairability, the front
and rear bumpers are interchangeable, as are the diagonally
opposed tire housing protectors. The engine is a twin-cam
three-cylinder 12-Valve turbo charged capable of allowing
the car to deliver its full potential. The SP-4 has more
safety by using a crash-safety body<TAF> and
