They are a widetrack like the Sport and the  2.0 V6 is same engine as the lwb widetrack had in some markets. They're right hand drive for the Japanese market. You can also pick them up in New Zealand now as an import too.

I received an email once from some one in France that owned one, so that would be LHD. They never came to the UK.

I have done some looking into this motor for mine. You can regularly find them on ebay. It was the same engine almost as the 1.8l. THey came out of a sport type chassie so they might require a wider frame mount. Also they all came with awd. THey didn't have a true two speed transfer case.

Except that its a V6 not an in line 4. My understanding is that its the Mazda 626 engine, its certainly from the same period that they were fitting Mazda turbo diesel engines. I hadn't heard about the awd, is that just the swb version? I know the LWB is stock Suzuki 4wd, the X-EC models were the ones fitted with LSDs.

Yes, the 2.0 V6 was a joint engine development deal with Mazda. I have never come come across anything relating to a AWD version, do you have any links/pics/details about this variant? All the 2.0 V6 models I have seen have a hi/lo t-case.

2.5 s were a Japan only model but I've heard of of 2.5s from the latter model being tranplanted in to the 1996 to 98 models.  I have the dealer brochure and theirs no mention of AWD anywhere.
