Short test: Suzuki SX4 S-Cross 1.4 Boosterjet 4WD Elegance
This is one of the reasons that last year's renovation came to it, which allowed it to have a much more dramatic look compared to its predecessor, at least on the front, which is mainly due to the prominent grille in shiny chrome finish. Elsewhere, there were fewer or fewer changes to actually get noticed. However, it can be said that the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross, despite its age, is attractive enough in terms of design to attract the attention of many.
Inside, the big infotainment screen stands out, which brings the SX4 S-Cross closer to the modern era of smartphones (unfortunately, it only supports Apple's operating system) and which we've already seen in all Suzuki equipped with it. works fine. The rest of the driver's workspace is less modern. The sensors are analog, and you can control the car computer screen between them only with the switch next to them.
The SX4 S-Cross is also equipped with a fairly comprehensive array of assistance systems, among which should be mentioned well-functioning radar cruise control and an almost-too-well-functioning collision warning system that intervenes, but not too early. with a loud and unpleasant sound. And this is in one of two settings, which is primarily intended for the urban environment and which allows you to get a little closer to another car with a car. But it's more about the little things that don't really affect how you feel in the car.
This is a well. While the SX4 S-Cross is not one of the largest cars, it is indeed the largest Suzuki we can buy in Europe, which is also reflected in spaciousness that doesn't really disappoint. Taller drivers could only complain about longitudinal seat displacement, which quickly depletes, and the trunk also moves more on the average in the class.
As for the drivetrain, the Suzuki SX4 S-Cross is a real Suzuki, which means it has powerful all-wheel drive that doesn't let the wheels slip. In automatic mode, torque is distributed to the rear wheels in such a way that you don’t even notice it. But if the automation isn't enough, you can adjust the drive with the adjuster between the seats on a very slippery surface and block the transmission of power to all four wheels. If you want more dynamics, turn on the sport mode, which the engine happily supports.
The test car was powered by a turbocharged 1,4-liter four-cylinder engine, replacing the 1,6-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder, and develops its power by leaps and bounds in all driving modes. At a standard flow of 5,7 liters and a better liter throughout the test, it also proved to be economical enough not to overburden the family budget and, last but not least, the environment.

evaluation
The Suzuki SX4 S-Cross has received a much more striking appearance after the update, as well as an updated information and entertainment offering in the interior. If we add efficient four-wheel drive and an engine to that, it remains attractive enough despite the years, especially given that it is also reasonably affordable.
