The 2008 Suzuki SX4 combines available all-wheel drive, a peppy, fuel-efficient engine, and a feature-packed interior. Brand-new in the lineup this year is a front-wheel drive four-door sedan variant.

The SX4 is available in two body styles – the SX4 Sport four-door sedan and the all-wheel drive SX4 Crossover wagon and comes in three trim lines – base model, Convenience Package, and Touring Package. All models feature a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine producing 143 horsepower and excellent torque mated to a standard 5-speed manual transmission that provides crisp shifting or an optional 4-speed automatic transmission for easy highway cruising with revised gear ratios for improved highway fuel economy. The SX4 Crossover wagon features standard 3-mode Intelligent All-Wheel Drive for enhanced traction and control in a variety of weather conditions.

A comprehensive safety package includes 4-wheel disc brakes with a standard 4-wheel anti-lock braking system and Electronic Brake-force distribution for excellent stopping power and steering control under hard braking. Advanced, dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags, front-seat mounted side airbags, and front and rear side curtain airbags offer enhanced passenger protection in a collision. The standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System consistently monitors tire pressure and alerts the driver to any changes in inflation. An available Electronic Stability Program and Traction Control System help keep the vehicle under control during evasive maneuvers and limit wheelspin on slippery surfaces.

Amenities include an optional 9-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with in-dash 6-disc CD changer with MP3/WMA playback, a subwoofer, and XM® Satellite Radio-ready receiver for amazing sound quality. The steering wheel with integrated audio controls allows you to take control of the audio system. The available SmartPass™ keyless entry and starting system allows you to unlock and start the vehicle with the push of a button on the keyfob. Standard digital automatic climate control air conditioning includes a micron filtration system to keep the cabin cool and healthy. Available front foglamps increase visibility and illumination. The available rear spoiler looks cool and adds additional downforce to increase stability at highway speeds.

With available all-wheel drive, a host of useful amenities, and a brand-new sedan version, the 2008 Suzuki SX4 offers a wonderful alternative to the major models in the compact segment, namely the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, and Nissan Sentra.
