The first versions of Suzuki's SX4 crossover are now in sale in the UK, beating partner Fiat to the market, but with a restricted range. Right now, you can order the SX4 with front-wheel drive and a 1.6-litre petrol engine in either GL (£9,999) or GLX (£10,999) format.
Metallic/pearlescent paint is a £300 option and later this year there'll be a 1.6 GLX with an automatic gearbox to accompany the 1.9-litre turbodiesel version that gets four-wheel drive. Fiat UK has decided to equip all versions of its Sedici with four-wheel drive as standard. Keep an eye on our
Road Tests pages for reviews of both the new Suzuki SX4 and the Fiat Sedici.
