Suzuki has announced the third of a series of new models, joining the Swift and Grand Vitara. The SX4 is the Grand Vitara’s ‘little brother’ and it’s platform is a joint venture development with Fiat. Fiat’s model is called the Fiat Sedici.
The Suzuki SX4 was styled by Giugiaro’s ItalDesign. The car is powered by a 98hp 1.5 liter petrol, a 106hp 1.6 liter petrol and a 118hp turbodiesel. The SX4 will also come with a 2.0 liter DOHC engine for the U.S. market.
The transmission runs a three-mode all wheel drive system, which are 2WD, AUTO (AWD High) and LOCK (AWD Lock). Four speed auto or five speed manual transmissions are available.
The Suzuki SX4 is expected to debut at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2006.

Lovely looks. Although need to see the interior first. I love the new Suzukis, esp. the Swift.
And once you’re used to the height of an SUV, you’ll never want to ride in a low sedan anymore. Moreso in Malaysia where floods are commonplace.

it doesn’t look like an suv.
December 2, 2005 @ 12:10 pm
NICE , I LOVIN IT
December 2, 2005 @ 12:12 pm

December 2, 2005 @ 12:31 pm
somehow i feel it look like hyundai getz.
who design hyundai getz ? is it Giugiaro’s ItalDesign also ?
December 2, 2005 @ 2:06 pm
there are shades of the hyundai matrix don’t u think?
December 2, 2005 @ 2:28 pm
I am really sorry to all SUV fans but I really think that SUV now days should stand for Stupid Useless Vehicles (SUV). But not all SUV’s are bad. Some are nice like rexton, BMW X5, toyota fortuner. Although some like the Suzuki SX4 are just plain ugly to me.

The front look resemble ‘a bit’ of its big brother the Grand Vitara. It got a nice look on the front, but for overall look, I don’t favour it much. Taking a peek at the side profile looks kinda funny to me. It seems too ‘heavy’ at the front. All boobs and no butts kinda thing.
By the way, Paul, is this model under SUV catergory or small 4×4 catergory? It look kinda representing both. If its a 4-wheeler, then I’ll pass. If I want to go into mud and flood, might as well get a real 4-wheeler. I’d rather buy a second hand Ninja Turtle or Landcruiser II. Or just get the Land Rover. Now that’s a winner 4×4!
SEE FU arrr. What kind of ‘poison’ you use, huh? Paraquat ka? The more I look at the Outlander the more it appeals to me. Haiya! I take back my words la. Hehehe.
December 2, 2005 @ 3:49 pm
Savvy front design should follow this one, then possibly can be acceptable as ‘my first lotus’…
December 2, 2005 @ 4:05 pm
coool.
December 2, 2005 @ 4:14 pm
huh Grand Vitara reminds me of Monster Kojima or tajima.. bleh whatever, Escudo Grand Vitara used for Mount Climbing rally.
real HP there….
December 2, 2005 @ 4:22 pm
how much it cost ah?
December 2, 2005 @ 4:28 pm
pendek: Monster Tajima’s Escudo uses two engine. Sure got real HP maa. 900+HP. A sure winner la at the Annual Pike Peak Rally. =)
December 2, 2005 @ 5:39 pm
lol…. again cannot recall but seem like hyundai model .. arghh
December 2, 2005 @ 7:07 pm
SX4…??? Sounds like ‘4Sex’ hehehehe
December 2, 2005 @ 9:26 pm
From my observation, something look like a hybrid of Kia Rio and Matrix. It’s nice.

Urgh… hideous!! SWIFT lagi chun!!
December 3, 2005 @ 2:16 pm
Well looks like GM now has the entire field covered when it comes to SUVs.. starting form this 1.5 machine, followed by the Grand Vitara then the S3X all the way to the huge Hummer H1 Alpha. Only the Kembara is smaller then anything GM has.
I’m sure the decision to build these SUVs came in the days when fuel prices were lower… really wonder if GM can keep themselves from going bankrupt.
December 4, 2005 @ 4:47 pm
yo, anybody seen the kancil special edition?
December 4, 2005 @ 9:16 pm
yup… the interior underwent some cosmetics change… nothing special, but enough to differentiate it from the usual kancil… y?
December 5, 2005 @ 7:39 pm
gosh… the italdesign name shocks me..
the rear design might be “whoooosh!”
December 6, 2005 @ 11:49 am
Suzuki’s favourite colour dude..
December 6, 2005 @ 10:44 pm
Cannot wait to buy one! Already one Vitara and I’love to trade our second car for this one! Great idea!

[...] You might find the look for the Fiat Sedici a bit familiar. It’s actually the same car as the Suzuki SX4, as the Fiat Sedici and the Suzuki SX4 were the result of a joint development program between Fiat and Suzuki. The word Sedici means 16, which is what you get when you multiple 4X4. Clever huh? It’s somewhat of a crossover, combining the comforts of a saloon with the off-road ability of a 4X4, which is the direction most SUVs are going these days anyway. [...]

[...] FAW Tianjin Xiali Automobile is Toyota’s partner in China. They’ve recently launched a few compact car called the FAW Xiali C1 back in the first half of 2006, but I did not notice it until reader ShadowFox pointed it out to me. The front lights look like it was taken off the Suzuki SX4, and the rear lamps are clearly inspired by Audi’s eagle head shaped rear lamps. But the whole shape of the car in it’s entirety looks very familiar, I’ll let you decide for yourself what it reminds you of. More photos after the jump! [...]

[...] Remember the Suzuki SX4? That joint venture car-SUV crossover platform between Suzuki and Fiat which spawned two cars - the Suzuki SX4 and the Fiat Sedici. Styled by Giugiaro ItalDesign, the little car could look like either a hatchback of a mini SUV depending on the trim level you choose. There was even a WRC Concept released by Suzuki. As if an SUV and a sporty hatch form was not enough, now photos of a sedan version has surfaced on the internet. [...]

The Fiat Sedici recently won the an award in the Caravan Club Towcar of the Year 2007 Competition, pwning competitors like the Daihatsu Terios 1.5, the Kia Magentis 2.0 CRDi GS Manual, the Nissan Note 1.6 SVE and the Vauxhall Meriva Active 1.3 CDTi.
