Finally Suzuki SX4 fully imported from Japan now available in Malaysia in 5-door hatchback form. The hatchback version is available with both normal low to the ground hatchback styling as well as a crossover-like design incorporating a SUV-like design language and raised ground clearance.
The current one that are available is the crossover design, and under the hood lies a more sedatedly tuned version of the 1.6 liter in the Suzuki Swift Sport. The tuned version of 1.6 lieter makes 106 bhp (79kW) at 5,600rpm and 145Nm of torque at 4,000rpm and is mated to a 4-speed automatic gearbox. In overseas there are 4X4 versions of the Suzuki SX4,but we get the 4X2 version which will save some fuel and is more than capable enough for the type of roads this car can handle anyway.And for the steering it uses an Electric Power Steering System.
The SX4 front suspension and a torsion beam setup for the rear ride on MacPherson struts, and is built on a stretched and modified version of the Suzuki Swift chassis. The large 16 inch wheels with thick profile 205/60R16 tyres complete the crossover look.
The luggage capacity is 270 liters which is good enough, but if fold the seats down and you get 625 liters of capacity. The steering wheel is similiar to the one in the Swift and feature steering wheel audio controls for the MP3/WMA/CD player with 8 speakers. Safety features include dual front ABS anti lock brakes, EBD,SRS airbags, Brake Assist and side impact door beams.
