This Suzuki utility ATV nameplate entered the market for the 2007 model year as the company’s new midsize KingQuad, replacing the earlier 700-class positioning with a more compact 450cc-class machine. Suzuki’s own 2007 annual report notes that production of the LT-A450X had begun, and contemporary industry coverage identified it as the newly unveiled 2007 KingQuad 450. The model continued through the late 2000s, with Suzuki parts references and recall documentation showing 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 model-year variants. For 2011, Suzuki’s KingQuad lineup shifted to the 500 and 750 family, indicating the 450 was phased out rather than carried forward. Enthusiast-wise, the model is remembered as one of the core modern KingQuad utility quads of the era, combining Suzuki’s fuel-injected, automatic 4x4 utility formula with the brand’s work-oriented ATV identity.
