Suzuki has introduced the new SX4 model with a Sportback badge. So unlike the previous generation which was kinda a Crossover , new SX4 aims to be a more sporty urban vehicle. It features lower ride height and revised detailing on the body, and is powered by a 150hp 2.0 liter four-banger which is no that sporty to be honest!
Inside, the passengers comfort have been enhanced by more than a dozen improvements, including power windows and locks, dual power rearview mirrors, tilt steering wheel, trip computer, split folding rear seats and rear passenger floor vents. The SportBack’s interior trim enjoys an all-new instrument cluster, aluminum-look accents, a four-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with MP3 and XM Satellite Radio® compatibility, a driver’s information center and armrest for the driver’s seat. The standard integrated navigation system on the 2009 SX4, continues on the 2010 SX4 SportBack – with notable enhancements: Airline arrival and departures, 3D graphics, lane guidance and Doppler weather maps.
