Suzuki SX4 entered the Japanese market in July 2006. For buyers in Japan, this was a new model. Prior to that, it had already been sold in Europe. This sequence indicates that the vehicle was designed for customers in Europe. Nobody from the company denies this fact, because. The Suzuki SX4 sedan is the third model of strategic importance for the manufacturer.
What features distinguish this car, which is called only a new generation of off-road sports hatchback? The width and length of the model are 4170 mm and 1725 mm respectively. By the way, at first it was planned that the length of the car would not exceed 4 meters, and the width - 1.7 meters. But the design update and fit to European standards have made some changes to these plans.
The interior of the salon was developed in collaboration with the Italian designers of the studio headed by Don Giugiaro. Suzuki has made many comments and corrections, sometimesled to considerable disagreement. Despite this, the authors of the project do not regret at all that the design of the car was developed by joint efforts.
Visually the Suzuki SX4 feels like a compact car. The front doors are equipped with a triangular window, the lower edge of which completes the line of the body, then it rises sharply. This technique is a successful design find, because. gives the appearance of the car uniqueness and originality, a kind of zest. The second such highlight is the color design of the main and additional racks. So, the additional pillar turned out to be darkened, and the main one was painted in body color.
Due to the fact that the body structure suggests the presence of an additional A-pillar, the doorway has a rather unusual configuration. The distance between the road surface and the top edge of the driver's seat is about 600 mm. The hood line and the lower edge of the side windows are quite low, so the driver has excellent side and forward visibility.
Now a few words about the interior design of the Suzuki SX4 (the clearance of this car is quite suitable for our roads). Due to the fact that manufacturers have defined the class of the car as a cross-country vehicle, it goes without saying that the interior will be modestly equipped. So, indeed, for some time it does not leave a feeling of deprivation of decorative attributes, everything is so simple. The front panel looks too clumsy. But its quality does not cause any special remarks (for 1,5 liter class). However, the panel does not reach the level of the 2-liter class at all. The color scheme inside the cabin is represented by only one option - gray.
Regarding the driving part of this car, the following can be noted:
- the engine is equipped with an automatic fuel supply system, which provides a fairly powerful start and smooth subsequent movement;
- the steering mechanism is equipped with an electric power steering, making it easier to control;
- the suspension keeps the wheels in constant contact with the road;
- car moves quite softly;
- automatic 4-speed transmission;
- 17-inch wheels, combined with a low set suspension, give the car a sporty character.
So the Suzuki SX4 is perfect for different drivers with different needs and lifestyles.
