We have seen a lot of Maruti Suzuki SX4 ply on Indian roads. But what if you see the same SX4 ply on the Indian roads in a new avatar, hatchback…?Well the hatchback SX4 is not new to the world but is certainly new to India. One of these was displayed in the Auto Expo 2010 held at New Delhi last week.
This was for the first time Maruti Suzuki was showcasing the hatchback version of the popular SX4 in India that too at the Auto Expo. As we said earlier SX4 hatchback is not new to the world as it is the best seller for Suzuki in the European markets. The SX4 hatchback available in Europe has multiple engine options including the 2.0litre, 1.6 litre and 1.5 litre petrol engines.
Here at the Auto Expo 2010, a Prussian Blue Pearl SX4 hatchback which was displayed carried a 2.0 litre engine and has been exclusively imported for display purpose in India’s biggest Auto show. This car is Suzuki Motor Corporation’s urban sport crossover. This car has the right big car attitude, imposing looks and a nimble engine that powers this little SX4.
The mantra of style, space, high driving position, hatchback practicality and fuel economy that the SX4 hatchback carries in it, has made the SX4 hatchback a winner. This little wonder car also has a short turning radius, short gear ratios and a rigid body structure. This hatchback can seat 5 adults with at most comfort. The features that come along with this hatchback are two-wheel-drive (2WD) and an optional All-Wheel-drive (i-AWD) system. The driver can engage the i-AWD system from 2WD at a press of a button without sacrificing the fuel-efficiency. The SX4 hatchback also features the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and a low piston friction in the engine contributes to enhance fuel-efficiency, output and torque.
This little cute car is also loaded with features like that of door-mirror-mounted turn signal lamps and attractively designed aluminium-alloy wheels that add spottiness to the exterior design. Apart from these the other features that this car features is information display that is integrated into the instrument cluster for user-friendliness, a keyless start system for convenience, Onboard ESP for added stability and safety, ABS and EBD and six airbags all for safety. Low noise-cutting measures to promote comfort.
On the exterior the SX4 hatchback has a sophisticated new mesh-type front grille, all-new aluminium-alloy wheels that complement a bold contoured design. 16” inch wheels, high and elegant seat and door-trim upholstery enhances refinement. This hatchback also features a 60:40 split rear seat with single-folding design for passenger convenience and luggage-carrying flexibility and other features.
Lets just keep our fingers crossed to see if Maruti Suzuki makes the SX4 hatch back available here in India with all these features as well.
