The Suzuki Karimun is a nameplate of city cars produced by the Japanese automaker Suzuki and marketed in Indonesia between September 1999 and 2021 by Suzuki Indomobil Motor, an Indonesian subsidiary of Suzuki.[1][2] It is named after Great Karimun (Karimun Besar), a group of islands in Karimun Regency, Riau Islands, although the subsidiary also said the Karimun name was coined from the phrase "carry to the moon".[3][4] The Karimun models are based on a kei car platform of Wagon R models and derivatives:
- First generation (SL410R, 1999–2006): a locally built[5] first-generation Wagon R-Wide/+.
- Second generation (MF31S, 2007–2013): a Maruti Zen Estilo imported from India and rebadged as the Karimun Estilo. This model is a restyled first-generation MR Wagon from the Japanese market.
- Third generation (MP31S, 2013–2021): Indonesian version of the second-generation Maruti Wagon R, a longer version of the fourth-generation Japanese market Wagon R. It is assembled locally through Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) program endorsed by the government and sold as the Karimun Wagon R.
