Suzuki SZ5 4x4 Now Available in the UK

The British division of Suzuki announced today it has revised the SX4 lineup by adding a new SZ5 4x4 model, which wears a price tag of GBP 14,235. The range now offers three ‘SZ’ grades and two engine options – one diesel and one petrol. All models feature wheel arch extensions, side under protection mouldings and front and rear skid plates.

The 120PS 1.6-litre VVT petrol engine is available in either SZ3 or SZ4 2WD (front-wheel drive) specification or as a 4x4 SZ5 model with selectable/automatic four-wheel drive. The latest 2.0-litre DDiS 4x4 is available as an SZ5.

This new diesel engine offers high power and strong torque of 320Nm at just 1,500rpm. It is Euro 5 compliant and has an output of 135PS at 3,500rpm, achieving 51.4mpg on the combined fuel consumption cycle with emissions of 143g/km.

The 2.0-litre DDiS incorporates technologies such as a water cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system and a closed coupled diesel particulate filter (DPF).

Another highlight of the Suzuki SX4 4x4 is the i-AWD switchable three-mode all-wheel drive system. A simple to operate Electric Control Coupling Device allows the driver to select 4WD-Auto, 4WD-Lock, and 2WD modes to suit driving conditions. 4WD-Lock mode maintains full traction up to around 40mph, before automatically switching to 4WD-Auto mode for smooth cruising. Selecting 2WD (drive through the front wheels) optimises fuel economy.

SX4 is well equipped as standard with the SZ3 offering six airbags, remote central locking with deadlocks, air conditioning, MP3 / WMA compatible CD tuner with eight speakers, four electric windows, driver information display and illuminated steering wheel mounted audio controls.

The SZ4 model adds fog lamps; 16-inch alloy wheels, side body protection and heated door mirrors as well as keyless entry and start, dashboard centre speaker and automatic air conditioning. Finally, the top of the range SZ5 adds rear privacy glass.
