Unveiled globally at the Geneva International Motor Show, Suzuki's new SX4 Sedan is set to go on sale this fall, and pricing details will be announced closer to the on-sale date.


Joining the award-winning XL7, Grand Vitara and SX4 Sport Crossover, the new Japan-built sedan will get features from the overseas Suzuki Swift and be powered by a 2.0-litre, 143-horsepower DOHC engine. A five-speed manual gearbox or four-speed automatic will be available. 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and electronic brake force distribution are standard.

The SX4 sedan brings contemporary style, excellent driving dynamics and comfort to owners who lead an adventurous lifestyle. Visibility and interior space are sure to impress. The sedan shares its wheelbase with the hatchback but loses 2 inches in height and gains 13 inches in length.

The sedan's interior is large and well thought-out. The theatre-style seating improves visibility and overall comfort. Five occupants can properly take place onboard. The driver is treated to an instrument cluster and dashboard designed for quick and easy access; a true driver-oriented cabin. On the safety front, the SX4 sedan has 6 standard air bags.

The SX4 sedan continues to reflect the Suzuki DNA that was established in many markets by the popular Swift.
