II Overview:
Suzuki SX4 S-Cross (II). With 156 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~6.8 l/100km). Weighing only 1125 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 12.4 s). The top speed reaches 170 km/h. A vehicle that combines characteristics of SUVs and hatchbacks for versatility. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
