Suzuki Australia continues to redefine the world of small car design with the launch of the all-new two-wheel drive SX4 sedan and SX4 hatch.

“Earlier this year we unveiled Suzuki’s vision for a new compact SUV with the SX4 AWD. Now with the launch of the SX4 2WD sedan and hatch, we are setting new standards in comfort and visibility,” said Suzuki Australia Automotive General Manager Tony Devers.

“Unlike conventional sedans which use low-slung styling, the SX4 sedan delivers outstanding comfort for driver and passenger thanks to its taller, more upright design.

“SX4 sedan combines the best features of a sedan with the spacious seating, command driving position and generous amenities of a multi-purpose vehicle.

“The end result is a radically new level of cabin comfort packaged in a stylish and elegant exterior.”

Devers explained ‘upright’ was a key development concept for the engineers working on the all-new SX4 sedan.

“We recognised a number of key customer wants that the new SX4 sedan needed to deliver on.

“Customers told us they were looking for a small car that offered a natural, upright seating position and easy access in and out without having to resort to uncomfortable bending and stooping.

“The new SX4 sedan delivers on that promise in a package that also provides fantastic value for money and a spirited, rewarding drive experience.”

Chief program engineer Osamu Honda said the new SX4 sedan represented a high point in his career.

“Our entire engineering staff worked with a single aim; to develop a revolutionary sedan that sets new benchmarks in comfort and I am confident we have succeeded.

“The exterior styling clearly demonstrates innovation with a look of forward motion, solid handling and confident mobility. The solid appearance creates a surefooted look adding dynamic presence to the overall design.

“The overall height is slightly higher than conventional small car sedans, offering several important benefits for Suzuki customers; the hip point is higher for easier entry and exit, the eye point is higher for improved visibility and the tall roofline creates a spacious cabin and a cavernous boot.

“The chassis has been carefully tuned to provide confident, responsive handling, while the engine boasts a range of advanced technologies including electronic throttle control and Suzuki’s Intake Manifold Tuning system, delivering greater power across a broader rev range.

“Everything about the new SX4 sedan has been designed for customers who lead active lives, seeking out new challenges. We’re convinced it’s a world-beating vehicle and I’m confident our customers will think so too,” said Honda.

The new SX4 sedan and hatch will be available in two specifications – entry level and ‘S’.

Devers explained the new SX4 sedan – the third model in Suzuki’s worldwide strategy of next generation of vehicles – offered a car delivering a smooth, supple ride but was also tuned to satisfy the demands of enthusiast drivers.

“The new SX4 sedan exemplifies the Suzuki ‘Way of Life’ philosophy, encompassing all the expertise and dedication of a specialist in small cars that makes it a pleasure to drive, to use and to own.

“Suzuki Australia is confident the new SX4 sedan will become the new standard for comfort and elegance in the highly competitive small car market,” said Devers.
