Name

Suzuki's design department chose the name "Hustler" to promote the car's lively and rough riding image. The name was used by Suzuki in the past as the nickname of a two-stroke, dual-sport motorcycle, the Hustler TS50. The car's accessories also have a replica sticker of the emblem that was once used in the TS50.[3]
