I believe the 16V started in 95 and is the same all the way through 98 in either Suzuki Sidekick, Geo Tracker or Chev Tracker. In 98 the Geo Tracker became the Chevy Tracker. Same car, made in the same place, same parts, just Chevrolet label and badging.
my 98 soft top 2 door looks just like the 97. 98 is a 16V 1.6L engine.
