The Suzuki SX4 new features include the addition of rear seat side airbags (eight airbags standard) providing even more safety for B Suzuki drivers, according to West Herr Chrysler Jeep Suzuki.

Outside, the SX4 AWD Crossover benefits from muscular wheel arches. A high roofline adds extra space, versatility and expressiveness and the SX4 Crossover’s roof rails increase functionality. For Suzuki’s ‘confident explorer’ target customer, sport accessories include crossbars and roof rack, with attachments for a skis or a bicycle. Fog lamps and heated outside mirrors are also available.

The SX4 Crossover is efficiently designed to provide interior accommodations for five, with generous front and rear legroom and headroom for Buffalo Suzuki families. Wide door openings allow easy entry, and raised theater-style seating enhances the roomy, airy feeling for rear seat passengers. In addition, the SX4 Crossover comes equipped with an automatic-dimming rear view mirror with compass; standard AM/FM/CD four-speaker audio system with MP3 and XM Satellite Radio®1 capability; air conditioning with available automatic climate control; remote keyless entry; reclining split-folding second row; driver information center; and integrated navigation system.

The SX4 Crossover is equipped with MacPherson struts in the front and a rear torsion beam in the back for Buffalo Suzuki drivers. For 2011, the SX4 Crossover comes standard with all-wheel drive: Suzuki’s advanced and effective three-mode Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive (i-AWD) system, which continues the SX4’s tradition as America’s most affordable AWD automobile.

Class-leading active safety features in the SX4 Crossover include the electronic stability program with traction control and four-wheel disc brakes with an anti-lock braking system and electronic brake-force distribution. Together with the traction control system, stability control helps ensure vehicle stability when cornering, accelerating, driving on slippery roads or conducting emergency maneuvers.
Passive safety starts with a reinforced body offering front and rear crumple zones designed to help absorb impact energy. Eight airbags are standard, including driver and front passenger advanced frontal airbags, front seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and side-curtain airbags designed to provide additional protection for front-seat and outboard rear-seat passengers.

With the new-for-2011 rear seat-mounted side-impact airbags, the SX4 family of vehicles meets 2014 side impact standards. In addition, front three-point seatbelts include pretensioners and force limiters.

The Suzuki SX4 Crossover available near Buffalo is also equipped with ISOFIX-compliant child seat anchors and the LATCH system (Lower Anchor and Tethers for Children) in rear outboard seat positions. Daytime running lights and a tire pressure monitoring system are also standard. Together, all of this safety equipment makes the SX4 Crossover one of the best-equipped vehicles in its class with respect to safety.

After its much anticipated debut near Buffalo at West Herr Chrysler Jeep Suzuki, Suzuki’s new athletic-hatch, the SX4 SportBack, hit the track with the team from HISTORY’s “Top Gear,” the new U.S. version of the Emmy award-winning BBC television series of the same name.

“Top Gear,” from BBC Worldwide Productions, which premiered in November on HISTORY, follows a similar format as the original program on BBC. For its first Big Star in a Small Car segment, “Top Gear” hosts and famous secret race driver, The Stig – along with platinum-selling rock artist Kid Rock, actors Tim Allen, Michelle Rodriguez and Dominic Monaghan, and skateboarding legend Tony Hawk – charged a closed-course 1.6-mile track at El Toro in Irvine, Calif., to test the 2011 SX4 SportBack. No surprise, all of the show’s celebrity drivers smoothly piloted the SX4 SportBack around the track and left supremely impressed with Suzuki’s sporty five door.

“We were thrilled when Top Gear contacted us about the opportunity to showcase the driving dynamics of the 2011 Suzuki SX4 SportBack,” said Gene Brown, Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations, American Suzuki Automotive Operations. “The SX4 SportBack has received rave reviews since its introduction last year, and we’re confident our sporty little hatch will be a huge hit with Top Gear’s ensemble of big-name celebrity drivers as well as The Stig.”

The 2011 SX4 SportBack delivers a perfect combination of style, functionality, dynamic handling and light-hearted sophistication for Buffalo Suzuki consumers looking for an affordable performance choice that matches their confident attitude and lifestyle. Under the hood, it packs a 2.0-liter engine delivering 150 horsepower at 6,200 rpm in combination with 140 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,500 rpm for manual transmission models (148 hp with CVT), all while delivering an EPA-estimated 30 miles per gallon.

Both a six-speed manual and a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) are available on the front-wheel-drive SX4 SportBack, along with paddle shifters. Beyond its European sport tuning, the SX4 SportBack’s handling is further enhanced with performance shocks, standard stabilizer bars, a lower ride height, 17-inch alloy rims and 205/50 all-season Dunlops. Class-leading safety features also set Suzuki’s five-door apart from the higher-priced competition, including electronic stability program with traction control, four-wheel disc brakes, tire pressure monitoring system, daytime running lights and eight standard airbags.

Other standard features on the SX4 SportBack include power windows, locks and mirrors, air conditioning, cruise control, an AM/FM/CD/MP3 XM Satellite Radio®1-ready audio system (with available iPod®2 interface), leather steering wheel cover, fog lights and aero body trim. In addition, the SX4 SportBack comes equipped with an integrated navigation system (with available advanced features, including traffic, fuel prices and airline arrival/departure information) as standard equipment.
