The later Suzuki Cappuccino retained the compact proportions and rear-wheel-drive character that made this roadster unusual, but its engine update brought a meaningful change beneath the bonnet. The EA21R uses Suzuki’s newer K6A turbocharged three-cylinder unit in place of the earlier F6A, while keeping the lightweight, two-seat format and front-engine layout. Its removable roof panels give the small cabin an open-air feel without sacrificing the option of a more enclosed driving experience. Rather than chasing outright power, the Cappuccino’s appeal lies in its modest dimensions, low mass and focused sports-car layout.
The K6A produces 63 hp and, according to AutoSpecsHub, delivers 76 lb·ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. That torque figure gives the little roadster useful mid-range response, while the available five-speed manual keeps the driver involved in managing the turbocharged engine. A three-speed automatic was also offered, broadening the car’s appeal beyond manual-only enthusiasts. Built from 1995–1998, this version combines its updated powertrain with double-wishbone front suspension and a notably compact 81.1-inch wheelbase.
