Production began in 1991 and ceased in 1998. Later versions in Japan had an early production iteration of speed-sensing electric power-assisted steering and aluminium double wishbone suspension. The Cappuccino featured 4-wheel disc brakes and rear-wheel drive. Power output was a claimed 64 PS (47 kW 63 hp) at 6500 rpm to fit under the maximum power allowed for Kei cars.
Both are DOHC 12-valve, inline 3-cylinder engines that were turbocharged and intercooled. It was originally equipped with the F6A engine: later models were fitted with a K6A engine which was lighter and had chain-driven, rather than belt-driven camshafts and more torque. Unlike many convertibles of the time, the rear window is glass and wraparound, with demisting elements. Roof panels stow in the trunk (taking almost all the luggage space), and the rear window/rollcage assembly retracts into the body behind the seats. Three removable roof panels mean that the car can be used as a closed coupé T-top targa or, on retraction of the rear window and roll bar, a full convertible. The hood, roof, roll bar and lower front guard panels are aluminium. Layout is front mid-engined and rear-wheel drive. Front-rear weight distribution is claimed to be 50/50% when both seats are occupied. Its dimensions also conformed to Kei car regulations on length and width, being 3,295 mm (129.7 in) long and 1,395 mm (54.9 in) wide. Weighing 725 kg (1,598 lb), the Cappuccino is powered by a turbocharged, three-cylinder, 657 cc DOHC engine. The vehicle was designed to meet Kei car specifications for lower tax and insurance in Japan. The Suzuki Cappuccino is a small 2-door, 2-seater detachable hardtop minicar produced by Suzuki.
