In 1991, the Suzuki KingQuad stood alone with innovative features like independent rear suspension and a locking differential. For 2005, the most honored name in four wheeling is back! Introducing the all-new KingQuad - a 4x4 that's bigger, tougher, more powerful and more innovative than ever.

Suzuki has long been a leader in the development of fuel injection technology for its race-winning motorcycles; similar technology is used to power the new fuel-injected Suzuki KingQuad. An all-new fuel-injected engine drives the KingQuad and that's just the beginning of the story - it's feature-packed report detailing the class-leading features of the new KingQuad and it starts right now.

The all-new Suzuki KingQuad 700 4X4; it's not a democracy any more.
