Tuners have turned the Suzuki XBee into a mini-copy of the Land Rover Defender with a brutal body kit

Japanese tuning studio Damd presented two sets of modifications for the compact crossover Suzuki XBee, radically changing its appearance. As Carscoops reports, one of the kits turns the car into a Land Rover Defender, and the second one refers to the style of the Suzuki Alto Lapin retro hatchback.

Little version. D (the name can be deciphered as “little Defender”) received a rectangular radiator grille, a new hood with the inscription Little. D, black trim on LED headlights and a massive front bumper with a plastic body kit. The look is completed by side decals, darkened taillights and an optional roof rack with beadlock wheels and all-terrain tires.

The alternative Bemore kit is inspired by the Suzuki Alto Lapin. It has a different front bumper with a larger air intake, three decorative slots instead of a radiator grille, vintage checkered side stickers and chrome wheels. The interior offers special seat covers in brown leather with a checkered pattern.

Despite external changes, the technical part remained without modifications. Suzuki XBee is built on the Heartect platform and is equipped with a mild-hybrid unit based on a 1.2-liter engine producing 81 horsepower and 109 Nm of torque paired with a CVT. The drive can be front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
