Suzuki SX4 Hatchback (06 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 22 March 2006 Last Updated: 08 March 2011 The SX4 is a bit of an oddity. It's a five-door hatchback, similar to the Suzuki Swift, but it comes with a chunky off roader look and is available with four-wheel drive. The result is a slightly quirky cross between the two but it's also a success. It's practical and roomy inside, very comfortable on the move and handles well too with positive steering and an agile nature. The majority of models sold are only two-wheel drive and there are two subtly different body styles, one featuring extra wheel arch mouldings, roof rails and protective bodywork while this is absent in the more standard version. The SX4 was developed in collaboration with Fiat, who provided the diesel engine and offer a near identical model called the Sedici. It was facelifted in 2010 with an improved interior and a more powerful petrol engine. 3.5 out of 5 Other Suzuki reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £12,595 - £17,400 View all new prices Used price range: £3,370 - £13,167 View all used prices See 11 new models for sale from £10,895 Get a Suzuki SX4 Hatchback (06 on) information pack Next steps Suzuki SX4 Hatchback cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
