The Suzuki SX4 is a compact car and crossover developed jointly by Japanese automaker Suzuki and Italian automaker Fiat that sold between 2006 and 2014. It was available as a hatchback and sedan, with the former available in both front- and four-wheel drive. In 2013, a new generation launched, called Suzuki SX4 S-Cross—now exclusively a mini SUV, with a sedan version not offered. The first and second generation SX4s sold alongside one another until 2014. The SX4 sedan was replaced with the Suzuki Ciaz. The original model was sold in certain European markets as the Fiat Sedici and in some Asian markets as the Maruti Suzuki SX4. It was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign Giugiaro studio and has been produced since 2006. Although originally intended solely for Europe, the SX4 is sold in most of Suzuki's international markets. Especially as a 4WD hatchback, the SX4 occupies a specific market niche of mini SUVs. Depending on the market, it was available with petrol engines in the 1.5- to 2.0-liter range, and Fiat's 1.3- to 2.0-liter diesels.
