After the five-door "SX4", which became a kind of "hit" of the Japanese corporation "Suzuki Motor Co", a three-volume version of this model came out. But, despite the fact that the sedan turned out to be “elegant” (with an extraordinary, but calm appearance) and quite comfortable for passengers - it did not gain such success as a hatchback (in 2013, after leaving the main markets, and did not receive a “direct heir ").
As we have already noted, the exterior design of the Suzuki SX4 Sedan is a kind of hybrid of "eccentricity" and "classics of the genre" (it is quite strict and devoid of pretentious annoying "embellishments", and its smooth lines provide good aerodynamics). Its "wedge-shaped" body shape (which is emphasized by the line of the side windows) not only provides a "visual swiftness", but also guarantees ample space for rear passengers and a fairly roomy luggage compartment ...
Perhaps the most important feature of the Suzuki SX4 sedan is the "high roof" (and the seats are, thanks to this, a little higher) - which provides the driver and passengers with an easy, comfortable fit (the opening angle of the doors is also quite large and convenient).
In terms of its dimensions, it is a typical representative of the compact segment (C-class), its length is 4490 mm, width - 1730 mm and height - 1545 mm. And the clearance is quite "universal" - 165 mm.
The interior of the car matches the exterior - practical and elegant. The interior of the Suzuki SX4 sedan is trimmed with pleasant-looking and tactile materials that cannot be called “cheap”. The truly high headlining combined with the smoothly rounded lines of the dashboard made the cabin very spacious.
All devices (highlighted in red) and controls are in the "right" place, fully complying with all the "canons of ergonomics" - making driving simple and easy. The angle of the steering wheel is adjustable, which, in combination with the height-adjustable driver's seat, makes it very comfortable to sit down (the driver is provided with a high seating position and excellent visibility). The seat is equipped with side bolsters for the back and cushions - it is very comfortable to sit, the body is perfectly fixed, which helps to "merge" with the car (especially when cornering).
The second row seats are located slightly higher than the front ones - which provides some comfort to all three passengers.
The luggage compartment of this sedan has an impressive (for a compact) volume - 515 liters. Moreover, the back of the rear sofa can be fully or partially folded, which will almost double the amount of "usable space".
The engine of the SX4 Sedan can be started without a key - at the push of a button, which is very convenient. The doors only open when the driver is in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle. The rear-view mirrors are huge and provide comfortable parking.
By the way, about the engine of the Suzuki SX4 sedan and its technical characteristics. So the three-volume version, unlike the hatchback, has only front-wheel drive and a 1.6-liter engine with 107 horsepower, a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. And this is quite enough - the car's temperament is almost sporty. The car is easy to control and responds clearly to all the driver's actions.
The suspension is rigidly tuned (McPherson in front, torsion bar in the rear), which creates a feeling of comfort, confidence and stability. In long corners, the sedan easily lends itself to adjustment, and, getting into potholes, it passes them very gently, almost imperceptible to passengers.
The Suzuki SX4 Sedan has front airbags. It is equipped with a brake force distribution system, ABS and ESP. This avoids blunders while driving and ensures that nothing darkens your ride. The asset of the car is the same: an immobilizer, air conditioner, power windows and other "little things" that "decorate" any car.
The Suzuki SX4 Sedan has an excellent balance of quality and price, making it one of the leaders among the most interesting compact cars in the mid-price segment. By the way, about the prices: in 2008, the Suzuki SX4 sedan could be bought at a price of 490 ~ 590 thousand rubles (depending on the configuration).
