The city crossover Suzuki SX4, once popular in Russia, has been updated and appeared in a slightly different guise - more stylish and modern. "Japanese", which is known in Europe under the name S-Cross, after restyling began to attract even more views than before, because the manufacturer corrected a number of shortcomings of its predecessor and tried to make its "SUV" as attractive as possible. Someone may like the SX4 2017, some may not, but the fact remains that the model is interesting. True, for a Russian car enthusiast it is a little expensive ... Read about what is curious about the new product of the Japanese car industry, and how it differs from the previous version, in our review!

Design

Suzuki's designers who worked on the exterior of the 2017 SX4 obviously had a hard time: after all, turning a monster into a handsome man is not an easy task. How much they coped with their task can only be judged by the owner of the crossover, but one thing is for sure: the design is definitely prettier, although still contradictory. If you close the Suzuki nameplate on a false radiator grille, similar to the grille of the Jimny "mini-tank", you will be able to see some similarities with the cars of the Italian brand Maserati. The SX4 grille is now made in the form of vertical chrome ribs (the old version has horizontal plastic ones), and the huge head optics got a new pattern and LED running lights. In addition, the exterior features upgraded bumpers, a short bonnet, a fairly high roof and large windshield glass.


The side line of the body has practically not undergone changes. On the sides of the car are large informative rear-view mirrors and plastic protective linings, hinting at excellent off-road performance. "Korma" also remained almost untouched: here only a plastic cover on the apron appeared and the taillights were slightly changed, which, by the way, like the headlights, were created using LED technology. Thanks to all the innovations, the restyled SUV as a whole looks more aggressive than its predecessor.

Design

The 2017 SX4 is based on a platform from the pre-reform crossover. The design has not changed: an independent MacPherson spring suspension is installed in the front, and a semi-independent spring suspension at the rear. The ground clearance is at the same level - 180 mm. The AllGrip 4WD all-wheel drive transmission is also familiar from a pre-styling car: it allows you to choose between 4 driving modes - Auto, Sport, Snow and Lock, depending on the road situation. For those who do not need all-wheel drive, front-wheel drive versions are available.

Adaptation to Russian conditions

Russian roads are not scary for the updated SX4 with its 18-centimeter ground clearance and all-wheel drive, but it is not recommended to get carried away with trips on heavy off-road terrain - it should be remembered that this car is not a full-fledged SUV. To conquer the vastness of our country, the novelty also received an additional anti-corrosion treatment of the body. Noise isolation from the "Japanese" is not bad. Of course, the noise from the suspension is sometimes heard in the cabin, the whining of the engine at high revs and the whistling of air in the A-pillars area can be heard from time to time, but the SX4 2017 is definitely quieter than its famous "relative" Vitara.

Comfort

In the course of modernization, the model has improved interior finishing materials - now they are certainly no worse than those of modern Subaru and Nissan cars. The original front panel and climate control buttons are decorated with soft plastic and are pleasant to the touch. Dual-zone climate control is stylish in a European style, but the design of the new seven-inch touchscreen multimedia system, borrowed from Vitara, has a small complaint - dark glossy inserts are used for finishing, on which fingerprints are constantly left. Elegant ventilation deflectors hang over the touchscreen display, giving the center console a harmonious and finished look. The dashboard is simple and straightforward, with pleasant backlighting. The steering wheel is comfortable, multifunctional, and there are no serious complaints about it. The front seats are more or less comfortable, despite the lack of pronounced lateral support, and have adjustment and heating functions. The front row is quite spacious - especially a lot of free space above your head. Plenty of room in the rear, thanks to the knee grooves in the front seatbacks. With the relatively compact dimensions of the body, which after restyling have not increased by a millimeter, the rear sofa SX4 2017 is quite suitable for comfortable accommodation of three people. Sofa - with dense padding, folding armrest and 60:40 split backrest.

With the backrest folded down, the luggage compartment volume is at least 430 liters. It's not the largest trunk in its class, but it's still very roomy.


Any configuration of the new SX4 includes as many as seven airbags, including front and side airbags for the driver and front passenger, a driver's knee airbag, curtains, and a set of electronic assistants, including:


The top-end crossover is equipped with an infotainment complex from Bosch with a seven-inch high-resolution touchscreen, steering wheel control buttons, navigation with a 3D function, an SD card slot, Bluetooth and a USB connector for connecting mobile devices. Suzuki Vitara and Baleno are equipped with a similar touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink technologies. Bosch multimedia features a user-friendly interface, the ability to display images from a rearview camera while reversing, quick responses to short touches and a volume control function like Lexus. Thanks to the modern multimedia system, you can enjoy your favorite music and talk on the phone without being distracted from driving.

Suzuki CX4 Specifications

The 2017 SX4 engine range includes a 1.4-liter Boosterjet direct injection petrol turbo engine, which inherited from Vitara and produces 140 hp, as well as a 1.6-liter "aspirated" M16A petrol engine with variable valve timing VVT technology and recoil of 117 hp. The first engine is paired only with a six-speed hydromechanical automatic gearbox Aisin, which replaced the variator transmission, and the second is combined with a five-speed "mechanics". Both engines comply with the Euro-5 environmental standard. Real average fuel consumption is less than 7 liters. for 100 km.

The Suzuki SX4 (full name - Sport Crossover Seasons) was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2006. To create the model, the Japanese concern "Suzuki" joined forces with the Italian firm "Fiat".

The car was built on the Suzuki Swift platform, slightly changing the height parameters. The SX4 crossover is wedge-shaped with protruding bumpers. The exterior was formed due to slanting, widely spaced headlights, a "chopped off" rear end and stylish lamps that combine a brake light and parking lights combined with emergency ones.

First generation

The 2006 Suzuki SX4 was offered to the buyer in two versions: all-wheel drive (4WD) and front-wheel drive (2WD). The first option was equipped with an electronic automatic transmission selection system:


The configuration of the Suzuki SX4 completely depended on the wishes of the buyer and on the appearance of the chosen model. There were two options: Outdoor Line and Urban Line. The difference was significant. The off-road version of the Outdoor Line is, in fact, an SUV with a reinforced body, connected all-wheel drive and dimensions increased by several centimeters in all main parameters (length, height and width). The Urban Line is a front-wheel drive, urban crossover with average performance.

Power point

Suzuki SX4, the characteristics of which required powerful traction, was equipped with an engine of the buyer's choice. Two Japanese-made gasoline and one diesel ("Fiat") were offered. The basic version was equipped with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 99 liters. With. The crossovers of the top category were equipped with a 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 107 liters. With. The Italian diesel engine developed a thrust of 120 liters. With. with a cylinder volume of 1.9 liters.

Transmission

Both gasoline engines of the Suzuki SX4 were combined with a five-speed manual transmission. This was the best option. The diesel engine was equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox. On the Suzuki SX4 2WD model, a 4-speed automatic transmission was installed in some cases. This was done at the request of the buyer.

Suzuki SX4, 2007

Just a year after the start of production, the car was considered one of the best in the world classification. Equipment and equipment of Suzuki SX4, technical characteristics, parameters - all this was at the highest level. The cabin housed six airbags (two large frontal and four side). The car was equipped with several systems that regulate movement, these are ABS - anti-lock brakes, ESP - stabilization option, EBD - automatic distribution of braking forces.

There were many electrical innovations in the cabin, electric drives for all windows and rear-view mirrors, both interior and exterior, heated mirrors, rear and windshield and front seats, climate control, multilayer air conditioning, a powerful audio system with a four-disc CD changer ...

Restyling

In 2010, the Suzuki SX4, the technical characteristics of which remained the same, were slightly modernized, the changes affected only the appearance. The car received a new integrated front bumper with an air intake and a radiator grill with a large pattern. 16-inch alloy wheels were also installed.

The cabin has a new finish, and the soundproofing of the engine compartment has been significantly improved. The air conditioning and climate control unit has become more compact and has its own display. An additional subwoofer-type speaker is located at the bottom of the center console. The instrument complex changed the color scheme, the instrument arrows lost their intense shades. After the restyling, the all-wheel drive version of the Suzuki SX4 was equipped with an automatic transmission.

Second generation

In 2013, the Suzuki New SX4 crossover was presented at the Geneva Motor Show. The car showed a number of innovations, received a radically changed platform. The exterior has become more modern and stylish. The contours have taken on the characteristic features of sportiness. The New SX4 immediately gained numerous fans among European motorists. At the same time, the first-generation crossover was still in demand, it began to be sold under the name Suzuki SX4 Classic.

Options New SX4

The GLX trim includes all of the above, to which is added separate climate control.

The GLX-Plus is entitled to all the accessories included in the GL and GLX, plus a navigation system and a double panoramic sunroof in 800x560 mm format.

Suzuki SX4: reviews

During the entire production period, there was only one case when the management of the Suzuki concern initiated the recall of a significant number of cars for technical reasons. The reason for this was a malfunction of the hand brake, which did not always work due to a slight distortion of the traction. The defect was not considered an emergency hazard, nevertheless, the entire batch of cars with suspicion of this defect was finalized in the conditions of Suzuki service centers.

The management of the concern pays special attention to the routine maintenance of SX4 cars, this is part of Suzuki's policy. The measures are fully justified, since the attentive attitude to customers increases the level of demand.

In general, the Suzuki SX4 model, whose reviews have been positive for a long time, did not cause any problems to the owners. Buyers unanimously noted the reliability of the design, the almost unlimited resource of components and assemblies, and ease of management. According to many owners, the car adequately represents the Japanese automotive industry.

Any equipment (tuning, superstructures, engine) of the SX4 allows it to remain confident and dynamic on the road, while attracting enthusiastic attention. Stereotypes of thinking of car enthusiasts regarding the possibilities of such compact cars are smashed against a new mechanism, adjusted like a watch. It became so precisely thanks to the synthesis of the sporty character of an SUV and the strict elegance of passenger cars. As a result, the car has a light, streamlined body, simple, but no less stylish, as well as a powerful, sturdy structure, which assumes the protection of passengers on several levels. The side line of the car is slightly raised upwards, which, in combination with large triangular windows, gives it a somewhat wedge-shaped shape. The high ground clearance and wide wheelbase (2500 mm) create an impression of stability, power and assertiveness. The elegant exterior characteristics of the Suzuki SX4 are complemented by a set of colors used in the body paint of the car. Among the strict metallic shades, the most attractive are Cosmic Black Pearl (black), Sunlight Copper Pearl (orange), Kashmir Blue Pearl (blue), Silky Silver 2 (silver), Galactic Gray (gray), Cool White Pearl (white). The matte set includes Bright Red 5 and Superior White.

The dimensions of the Suzuki SX4 are optimized for urban living. While full-fledged SUVs are looking for convenient parking space and staying in traffic jams, the SX4, whose dimensions allow it to successfully maneuver both on the highway and on narrow streets, continues to gain consumer confidence. With a minimum turning radius of only 5.3 meters, this car will help out anyone who has encountered road problems in the city. Its length is 4150 mm, width - 1755 mm, and the overall height depends on the type of car drive and can be either 1605 mm for models with 2WD, or 1620 mm for models with 4WD. Weight in the version with front-wheel drive is 1650 kg, and with full - 1685 kg. Thus, the SX4, the dimensions of which are optimal for the city, deserves special attention along with its other advantages.

Excellent visibility is provided by excellent headlights, front fog lamps, a rearview mirror with day and night modes, as well as electric and heated exterior mirrors. In addition to this, the rear door and luggage compartment windows are tinted, the windows are equipped with wipers and washers that work in intermittent mode with the ability to adjust the interval. The sturdy car body is able to effectively absorb the impact energy in a collision and save passengers. With zones of programmed deformation that absorb the force of impact before it reaches the passenger compartment, the body of this model is considered one of the safest in the class. In addition to this, the machine is equipped with reinforcements in the doors, improved profiled beams and other reinforcing elements. Its external elements (wide wheel arches, side and lower protective moldings, front and rear bumper covers) harmoniously emphasize the sporting characteristics of the SX4.

The spirit of sport is also characteristic of the Suzuki SX4 saloon. The smooth lines of the interior emphasize the dynamic style of the car, complemented by high quality materials. The rounded shapes of the interior elements and the central panel testify to the modernity of the car, its special style, brand identity. Two main colors are used for decoration - black and silver. The latter mainly emphasizes the high cost of basic materials, places refined and slightly aggressive accents. The Suzuki SX4 dashboard is ergonomic and informative enough to immediately get all the necessary data on the condition of the car at a glance. Conveniently located, its elements suggest easy intuitive control of the machine, and the design echoes the smooth shapes of the entire interior, giving the impression of its uniform orientation. The center panel also houses additional functional amenities such as climate control and an audio system. Other basic equipment includes ESP and ABS systems, keyless door opening and ignition, electric locks and mirrors, individual control panel for each window, air conditioning, high brake light, immobilizer and nine speakers including center. Controlling instrumentation was made even easier by the appearance of red and blue backlights. The display also shows fuel consumption figures for the Suzuki SX4, time and air temperature sensors outside, as well as the distance that can be traveled with the remaining fuel in the tank.

The car is designed for 5 seats. Optimizing the SX4's interior for the individual needs of each driver involves adjusting the height of his seat, which will allow him to sit in greater comfort. The same procedure can be done with the steering block by changing the angle of its inclination and allowing the vehicle to be driven in a comfortable position. There are audio control buttons on the steering wheel so that the driver can listen to his favorite songs without being distracted from the road. The fully automatic air conditioner is also controlled by a simple panel illuminated from the inside to accentuate the overall design. In addition to this, the interior of the Suzuki SX4 is equipped with a convenient shelf under the front passenger seat (a great place for storing magazines, maps and other such things) and drink holders - between the front seats. Additional amenities inside the Suzuki SX4 are provided by three local lighting lamps, heated seats, pockets for storing small items and power windows.

The organization of the internal space of the Suzuki SX4 allows you to travel with comfort not only for the driver and front passenger, but also for those who are located in the back row of seats. The car provides enough legroom for a person of any height and build, and the special configuration of the seats allows people sitting on them to take natural postures, which eliminates problems with fatigue or back pain during long trips. Large ground clearance (175-190 mm), large doorways and optimal seat height provide easy access for all passengers. The rear seats of the Suzuki SX4 are slightly raised, which adds excellent visibility to their advantages. They are split in a 60:40 ratio, which allows the seats to be folded at any time convenient for the driver and turn the city hatchback into a small truck. Under normal conditions, the SX4's boot is small and only comes in at 270 liters. But it is worth folding the rear seats, and the trunk of SuzukiSX4 more than doubles - up to 625 liters, while having a flat floor, a whole system of load holders, a low board, which is indispensable for a city car and facilitates the process of loading and unloading things. Despite the small size of the Suzuki SX4, the trunk can easily compete in spaciousness with large SUVs. Its maximum volume, officially announced by the manufacturer, reaches 1045 liters.

The positive characteristics of the SX4 are not limited only to the exterior and interior design - its power capabilities also deserve attention. Powered by a 16-valve high-performance 1.6-liter petrol engine, the Suzuki SX4 delivers outstanding handling and responsiveness. Both basic SX4 trim levels (Outdoor and Urban) are offered with a five-speed manual transmission and a four-mode "automatic". Suzuki SX4, equipped with "mechanics", has a small advantage in the form of the possibility of particularly precise tuning and use of the engine's potential to the maximum. The "automatic" Suzuki SX4, in turn, greatly simplifies the process of driving a car, making it suitable not only for men but also for women. It is very convenient to use and provides the best performance of the Suzuki CX4. The maximum speed that can be developed on this model is 170-185 km / h, depending on the configuration, drive system and gearbox, and it reaches "hundreds" in 10.7-13.1 seconds, which is influenced by the same factors. The Suzuki SX4 engine meets the stringent Euro 4 environmental requirements (CO2 emissions do not exceed 180 g / km). The fuel consumption of the SX4 is very modest at 8.4 liters in the urban cycle for the 2WD models and only a liter more for the all-wheel drive versions. The off-road cycle demonstrates even more favorable consumption figures - Suzuki SX4 spends only 5.5-6.2 liters of gasoline per “hundred” for both types of models. As a result, the combined cycle gives the SX4 Suzuki a consumption of 6.5-7.6 liters of gasoline per hundred kilometers.

A distinctive feature of the Suzuki SX4 is the presence of an "intelligent" three-mode 4x4 system - i-AWD. The first mode (4WD-Auto) does not provide for the transmission of torque to the rear axle under normal road conditions, the electronics will supply torque to the rear axle only when the front wheels slip. In the second mode (4WD-Lock), the interaxle clutch is locked and the torque is divided equally along the axes. This mode remains when driving at speeds up to 60 km / h, after overcoming which it is automatically changed to 4WD-Auto mode. The purpose of this mode is to overcome bad sections of the road, devoid of asphalt or to overcome slippery climbs. The third and most important mode is 2WD. And before you is a simple front-wheel drive economy car - Suzuki SX4.

Thus, we cannot fail to note the competitiveness of Suzuki SX4: the technical characteristics of the car meet all modern requirements. In addition to the above advantages, the Suzuki SX4 has a wide range of modern safety features. Excellent brakes with ABS and EBD, ESP, excellent visibility, pretensioner and force limiter belts, ISOFIX child seat anchorages, six airbags including front and side curtains and side curtains. Depending on the configuration and type of drive, the Suzuki SX4 can be purchased for a price ranging from 590 to 800 thousand rubles.

Suzuki SX4 2014 review: model appearance, interior, specifications, security systems, prices and equipment. At the end of the article, a test drive of the 2014 Suzuki SX4!


Contents of the review:

For the first time, the Suzuki SX4 model was shown in 2006 during the annual Geneva Motor Show. The main "feature" of the car was supposed to be a reasonable price tag and exterior, developed by the famous design studio "ItalDesign", but in fact, it was the design that became the weakest point of the car, which was not scolded except by a lazy auto critic.

In 2009, the manufacturer carried out a deep restyling of the model, after which the car began to be supplied to Russia.


It is also worth noting that at first the car was positioned in no way other than a front-wheel-drive hatchback, but after a while the manufacturer released an all-wheel drive, as well as a modification in the sedan body. As a full-fledged crossover, the car was established only with the release of the second generation Suzuki SX4, sales of which in Russia started at the end of 2013.

The second generation received the name "New SX4", as well as a noticeably matured exterior, a completely redesigned interior and new technical stuffing, which made the car an extremely interesting proposal in the class of compact crossovers, which are rapidly gaining popularity not only in Russia, but also in many world markets. ...

2014 Suzuki SX4 Exterior


Thanks to the increased dimensions, the second generation Suzuki SX4 was able to leave the B-class and move to the C-class, which had a positive effect on the amount of free space in the cabin, but more on that later.

Externally, the car has become more masculine and dynamic. The front part has acquired large head optics with LED running lights, a neat front bumper with fog lights, a stylish false radiator grille with the company's corporate logo in the center, as well as plastic protection.

The crossover profile is distinguished by an ascending window sill line, smoothly tapering towards the stern, as well as stylish embossings along the body, which originate from the front wheel arches and end at the base of the rear marker lights - all this gives the car a rather aggressive and sporty look.

The rear of the updated Suzuki SX4 has got massive and slightly slanted side lights, a monumental rear bumper and a large tailgate, in the upper part of which there is a small spoiler.

Around the perimeter of the entire body there is a stylish plastic body kit, thanks to which the car is capable of conquering not only the urban "jungle", but also relatively serious off-road conditions.

The crossover has the following overall characteristics:

  • Length- 4300 mm, which is 150 mm more than its predecessor;
  • Width- 1765 mm (an increase of 10 mm);
  • Height- 1585 mm (decreased by 30 mm);
  • Wheelbase- 2600 mm (increased by 100 mm).
The vehicle's ground clearance is 180 mm, which is more than enough not only for storming curbs, but also for confident driving over rough terrain.

Customers can choose from 10 different color variations - from pearl black to bright red.

The interior of the urban crossover SX4


The interior of the car has changed no less than its appearance. Japanese designers did their best to get rid of all unnecessary elements, thanks to which we got a laconic, ergonomic and modern front panel.

Of course, it is impossible to call the design of the front dashboard a reference, but everything is done at a qualitatively new level. The quality of the finishing materials is slightly above average, but the excellent fit of the parts more than eliminates this small drawback of the cabin. The upper part of the dashboard, door pockets and almost all visible parts of the cabin are made of soft plastic.

In front of the driver is a completely new multifunctional steering wheel, as well as a well-read instrument panel, represented by two large tachometer and speedometer dials, between which there is a small color display of the on-board computer. Air deflectors, the central part of the steering wheel and dashboard acquired a stylish edging for aluminum, which somewhat dilutes the interior of the car, preferably made in dark colors. In the central part of the front panel there is a small multimedia control unit with a small color display, and in the lower part there is a very stylish climate control unit.


The front seats have an anatomical shape, and are also distinguished by the presence of a pronounced lateral support and a heating system, which is especially important for the Russian consumer.


The second row seats are designed for three adult riders, but the presence of not the widest cabin and a high transmission tunnel allow only two passengers to sit with maximum comfort.

Note that along with the increase in the wheelbase, there is noticeably more space for both first and second row passengers.


The volume of the trunk in the standard state is equal to 440 liters, and if you fold the backs of the second row of seats, then its volume can be increased to 1269 liters, subject to loading "to the ceiling". In the underground luggage compartment there is a special repair kit and a spare wheel.

In general, the interior of the car has become more strict and of high quality, while, as before, the driver's workplace is distinguished by a high level of ergonomics - all buttons and levers are located where you would expect to see them.

2014 Suzuki SX4 Specifications


In the European market, the Suzuki SX4 (2014) is offered with two types of power units:
  1. The first is a 1.6-liter four-cylinder petrol engine that develops 117 hp. and using advanced multi-point fuel injection. This engine will be aggregated with either a 5-level manual transmission, or a stepless "robot" with manual gear selection. Acceleration from 0 to 100 is 11 seconds (for mechanics) and 12.4 seconds (for CVT), and the maximum declared speed will vary within 165-180 km / h. The fuel consumption of a gasoline truck in the combined cycle is 5.6 liters, which is a very good indicator of economy for this class of car.
  2. The second is a 1.6-liter diesel with 118 hp. Such an engine will be equipped with either an automatic transmission or a 6-level "mechanics".
Unfortunately, so far only a gasoline engine is offered in Russia, however, in the future, a diesel engine may appear, which will happen as soon as the Japanese make sure that the domestic diesel fuel is of sufficient quality.

The choice of buyers will be available both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive modifications of the crossover, and the all-wheel drive version will be equipped with a new 4WD AllGrip transmission, which has several operating modes. As before, an independent suspension on MacPherson struts is installed in front, and a semi-independent suspension with a beam on torsion bars is installed behind. All 4 wheels received disc-type brakes, and the steering is supplemented by an electric booster.

In general, the car's suspension is moderately comfortable not only for city driving, but also for driving on light off-road. It adequately fulfills both medium and large irregularities, without annoying the driver and passengers with vertical swing.

Safety


The new generation Suzuki SX4 boasts a very serious safety package, which includes:
  • Emergency deceleration amplifier;
  • 7 airbags;
  • Active head restraints in front;
  • Belts with pretensioners and ISOFIX anchorages for securing child seats.
In addition, the manufacturer carried out significant work to increase the rigidity of the crossover body, where the door zones were strengthened, and "programmable" deformation zones of the front of the car were added in a head-on collision. All this allows the car to easily perform the functions of a family car, able to feel confidently both in the city and far beyond.

It's worth noting that for its price point, the SX4 is an extremely tempting proposition with a fairly wide range of equipment.

Summing up, it is worth noting that the Japanese have done a tremendous job, as a result of which the somewhat toy SX4 of the first generation has turned into a full-fledged subcompact C-class crossover, which has a serious chance of winning against more eminent competitors.

Five years ago - in 2006, car enthusiasts and car connoisseurs were able to appreciate the suzuki sx4 for the first time: the technical characteristics, appearance and functionality of this hatchback, which experienced a rebirth quite recently - in 2013. The Japanese company Suzuki has long established itself as a creator of quality technology. And the car, whose full name is Sport Crossover 4x4 Seasons, is another work of the Japanese genius that awakens the desire to take a closer look not only from the outside, but also from the inside. So what is this masterpiece, for which, after its appearance on the market, a huge queue lined up?

About the package

As a basic equipment, the new suzuki sx4 has all the attributes of a modern car, it has everything you need for comfort and safety:

  1. Electronic stability control, or ESP. By learning about the rotation of the wheels, the speed of the car, the angle of the steering wheel and reading the necessary information from special sensors, it can help the driver.
