New Suzuki SX4 SUV Debuts at Geneva Motor Show

Japanese car maker Suzuki Motor Corporation has been teasing the new SX4 crossover for quite sometime now, and finally it is being showcased at the 83rd Geneva Motor show today. The new SX4 Crossover is a production model based on the S-Cross, which was showcased back in September at 2012 Paris Motor Show. Since the vehicle is a compact SUV, so launching it in India in growing compact SUV segment certainly makes a sense, however nothing on the Indian launch of the vehicle has been said by the company, we are just guessing and hoping this beauty to come to India.

Suzuki XA Alpha will possibly the first compact SUV from the Japanese automaker to be launched in India, concept of which was showcased at the Indian auto expo in 2012. Suzuki’s designers and engineers began developing the new model as a successor to the current SX4.

However, through the pursuit of responding to customer expectations with regard to crossovers in Europe and other parts of the world, they realised that they needed to "think bigger". While moving into the C segment with its increased size, the new model inherits the “SX4” emblem to show that Suzuki (represented by the letter “S”) is a pioneer of both crossover and four-wheel drive (indicated by the “X” and “4” respectively).

Suzuki created the new SX4 Crossover by uniting its compact car know-how with technologies honed for sport utility vehicles. As a result of focussing on giving the new SX4 Crossover distinctive crossover styling, class leading space for passengers and luggage, next generation 4WD performance and one of the lowest CO2 emissions in the segment, it achieves a remarkable combination of styling, utility, performance and fuel economy.

It is a model which can offer great driving enjoyment and versatile family usage for even more people in an even wider range of situations. Suzuki will be building the new SX4 Crossover at the Magyar Suzuki plant in Hungary and the car will be on sale from this autumn onwards. Magyar Suzuki plays an important role as Suzuki’s European production centre.

The launch of the new SX4 Crossover marks the start of an expansion programme in which Magyar Suzuki will extend its exports to more countries, increase its production volume, and establish itself as an important manufacturing base for Suzuki’s global strategy.
