Suzuki Motors introduced the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak Edition in 1996. Until 1851, the peso was subdivided into 8 reales, with the "escudo" worth 2 pesos. The escudo was subdivided into 100 "centavos". Until independence in 1975, the Cape Verde escudo was equal to the Portuguese escudo. SX4 continues Suzuki's tradition of mini SUVs and compact SUVs, like SJ, Jimny, and Escudo. The escudo replaced the "real" at a rate of 10 reales = 1 escudo. Escudo banknotes celebrated notable figures from the history of Portugal. In 1972 the Chilean "escudo" changed 140%. However, by 1972, the Chilean "escudo" had an inflation rate of 140%. After the 1988 introduction of the Escudo, sales of the Jimny 1300 ended in Japan. In 1994, Suzuki built a twin-engined Escudo to compete in hillclimbing. The word "escudo" derives from the scutum shield. Thereafter, it remained fairly stable against the Portuguese escudo. From 1959, the Portuguese Timorese escudo - linked to the Portuguese escudo - was used. The first escudo coins were issued dated 1952.
