While it wasn't indeed a Subaru, the 2008 Justy marked the Japanese carmaker introduction to the European market's small segment.

Subaru had a long history with its all-wheel-drive vehicles, and there was no surprise to see the little Justy transformed into a crossover vehicle, but behind the badge, it was a Suzuki.

Subaru tried to enter the small-segment market with the Justy, but its expertise in that area was not only limited but also ineffective. Thus, after a call to Suzuki, they cut a deal, and Subaru got a re-badged facelifted Swift wearing its badge.

Subaru introduced a new generation of the super-mini model Justy in 1996, but it wasn't a genuine Subaru, even if it featured an all-wheel-drive system.

In 1984, Subaru and Suzuki worked together to develop a small vehicle that could fit into the kei car category and eventually exported with larger engines.

Subaru and Suzuki joined their forces to develop a new range of small vehicles that could fit in the kei-car category but large enough to export them in other countries.
