New SX4 launched

1. Now It has been Launched

   Maruti Suzuki, the largest car manufacturer in the country, today launched the new SX4 sedan with an engine powered by advanced VVT technology. The company has also introduced a 4-speed automatic transmission variant of the new SX4.

   The environment friendly new SX4 is amongst the first A-3 segment sedans to be BSIV compliant in the country. BSIV regulations are scheduled to be introduced in the country in April 2010. The new SX4 comes with a brand-new sporty honeycomb grille and 10-spoke 16 inch alloy wheels and dual tones interiors and plush upholstery.

   The VVT or Variable Valve Timing allows the timing of the intake valve to be changed while the engine is in operation, thereby ensuring that there is never a shortage or wastage of power. This leads to improved engine efficiency, optimized fuel consumption and lesser carbon emissions. With the advanced VVT technology, the car starts, accelerates and climbs steep slopes better. In essence, the technology is an intelligent system leading to a a smoother, more luxurious drive and better mileage.

   With a more efficient engine, the new SX4 has ARAI certified mileage of 15.6 km per litre of petrol. The superior technology engine helps the SX4’s four-valve, 1.6 litre engine produce a maximum power of 104.68ps @5600 rpm. The engine also has a high torque of 145Nm @4100 rpm.

   Automatic transmission
   The 4-speed automatic transmission makes the city drive much easier. A slick shift allows easy down-shift and effortless up-shift to ensure a smooth and sporty drive. The instrument cluster incorporates an electronic display to highlight the engaged gear.

   When the SX4 sedan was launched in May 2007, Maruti Suzuki was the first automobile company to introduce class leading premium features such as air-bags, steering-mounted audio controls, auto climate control, glass antennae and many others in an A3 segment car for customer benefit. The tradition continues in the new SX4 with the company bringing in advanced VVT technology, which has so far been used only in the luxury SUV, Suzuki Grand Vitara.

   In addition auto climate control system, and windshield antenna, the new SX4 sedan also offers illuminated key insert and variable instrument illumination.

   The new SX4 is available in 2 transmission - Manual and Automatic. While Manual Transmission has two variants VXi and ZXi, the Automatic Transmission is available in ZXi variant with optional leather upholstery. The ZXi variant also comes with safety features like ABS, EDB, Dual SRS airbags.

   The SX4 sedan is the tallest, widest car in its class. It also has the largest fuel tank capacity at 50 litres. It comes with the widest tyres and a boot space of 505 liters. The ground clearance of the new SX4 sedan is 190mm, the highest in the A3 segment.

Thanx dr. abyshines....i can't use my both legs ..i use one rod to handle break & accelerator at the same time ...& that rod is permanantly fixed near steering ...i hope that clarifies ...

Ok,i feel somewhat embarassed asking this here on the forum,I would love to talk to you in person someday so that i can be of more than just help to you.

I did the TD of Automatic SX4 on friday.  Nothing major changes.  Except honey comb grill, 10 spokes alloy wheels, USB and Chocolate and biege interiors and of course VVT engine.

Found nothing appealing.  Even with automatic no paddle and shift.

Same gruelling noise of DOHC Engine.  Feel of mini SUV.

Have doubts that it will give a better FE now.

Not a much attraction.

oh that's ok dr. abyshines   don't worry about it

btw....i loved the "front grille treatment " of your sx4 ..it's looking cute & adding to it's character....

Avoid the '....'-MODS

Thanks Vikas,guess what the NEW FACELIFTED grills are on the charts for the ehite paint.

Those were sincere comments,havent seen anyone commented on this forum lately.

You cheered me up.

Hi Doc,SX4 was an excellent car even earlier and now with minor face lift it makes a very compelling case for itself coming out   well ahead of Verna,Fiesta  and makes space for itself very close to the NHC

Thats very genuinely posted comment.

I think you are right.
