write a review about the Suzuki SX4
Suzuki’s SX4 is a distinctive 5-door
hatchback that blends the characteristics of sporty compacts exemplified
by the Swift, with those of lightweight SUVs such as the recently
launched Grand Vitara, to create an exciting small car alternative. The
resulting ‘sport X-over’ combines responsive driving dynamics, 4x4
capability, high levels of practicality and styling that suggests a
freestyle approach to life.
The introduction of two new Suzuki SX4 derivatives this month completes
the line-up of a 5-door hatchback range that blends elements of both
sporty compacts and lightweight SUVs to create a distinctive compact car
alternative.
The SX4 DDiS, is powered by Fiat’s acclaimed 120PS 1.9 litre diesel
engine which is characterised by punchy performance and excellent
flexibility. The intercooled and turbocharged unit’s peak torque of
280Nm is delivered at just 2,000rpm, and output is fully exploited by a
new 6-speed manual transmission to give fuel consumption of 44.8 mpg
(Combined), while still turning in a 0 to 62 mph figure of 10.6 seconds.
Emissions are similarly low, helped by a standard diesel particulate
filter.

Suzuki SX4 1.9 diesel 4Grip: We live on
top of the Cotswolds and so have been trapped by the snow and ice of
recent winters. Most of our neighbours have big 4x4s. It seemed sensible
to look for a replacement for a Honda Jazz that could cope with winter
and not cost the earth. The SX4 is the best choice.
The 4x4 version is very rare, despite the name the vast majority are
front wheel drive. However, it is well worth the search and the extra
cost as it is the best value 4 wheel drive car available.
For most journeys we get 50 mpg which is similar to the Jazz. In ice and
snow it feels very safe and means that life can continue almost as
normal.
