Maruti Suzuki SX4 and Fiat's Sedici are twins from the same platform residing in different countries.
The Sedici is a sports utility vehicle designed and manufactured by the Joint Venture between Suzuki and Fiat mainly for the European market. The car was expected to launch in India as well but the success of SX4 in India has blocked the market for Sedici in the country.
Sedici was expected to replace the SX4 in India. Initially, the Maruti had plans to introduce almost 60,000 units of SX4 to the country, out of which two-thirds to be sold by Suzuki and the rest by Fiat.
But fortunately, SX4 has been a great hit in the mid-size sedan market. The company is also successful in attracting customers with a recent upgrade offer of Rs 25,000 exchange bonus.
The Sedici is doing great in the native Italian market. Fiat was also planning to launch Sedici in South Africa but then the company changed its intention because the South African market is already dominated with the SX4.
Eventually, the joint venture between the Fiat and Suzuki decided to launch the twins in different countries.

I am glad that SX4 has blocked the way for Sedici. Maruti Suzuki SX 4 is a great car with excellent interiors, elegant interiors and high performance. I also heard about Fiat Sedici. It didn’t sound to be a good car, at least not better than SX4.
SX4 is really a hot car from Maruti. It just drives everyone's attention to its side. Its a rocking car. And with such a car i think it might be difficlt for Fiat SEDICI to compete. So i think it is a good deal between both the car manufacturers. This has been one of the best cars of Maruti.
