The new SX4 S-Cross goes on sale on 1 October and Suzuki announced pricing and specification details for the range starting at £14,999 for the SZ3 1.6-Litre petrol. It has only been a few months since the new SX4 S-Cross was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.

Suzuki will build the new model at the Magyar Suzuki plant in Hungary; Magyar Suzuki plays an important role as Suzuki’s European production centre and the launch of the new model will mark the start of an expansion programme in which it will extend its exports to more countries, increase its production volume, and establish itself as an important manufacturing base for Suzuki’s global strategy.

A range of eight exterior colours will be available for the UK market including a new option – Crystal Lime Metallic.

The CO2 emissions for the new S-Cross petrol models are 127g/km with 2WD manual transmission, 125g/km with 2WD CVT, 135g/km with 4WD manual transmission and 130g/km with 4WD CVT. The CO2 emissions for the diesel models are 110g/km with 2WD manual transmission and 114g/km with 4WD manual transmission.

The four-mode 4WD system in the new SX4 embodies ALLGRIP technology. The 4WD system has four driver-selectable modes – auto, sport, snow, and lock. Integrated control of the engine, transmission, ESP, allows selection of an optimal mode to suit road and driving conditions. The driver selects the desired mode using a simple push and turn dial on the centre console.
