Lower road tax for Suzuki 1.5 SX4

Suzuki's SX4 urban sport crossover has been given a new look and a new fine-tuned 1.5 engine line up. It also benefits from lower C02 emissions, lower road tax and lower fuel consumption.

The new 1.5 petrol engine is now 109bhp, a 10 percent increase in power and performance; and has emissions of 139g/km making it a Band B car for annual road tax. Combined fuel consumption is 6.1 L/100km (46mpg), an 11 percent increase in fuel efficiency over the previous model.

The SX4 hatchback has a new front bumper and grille and new front and rear skid plates to handle the rigours of outdoor life. It also has new five-spoke, 16-inch alloy wheels.

The interior has also been revised with a new meter cluster with an integrated digital information display, and control panel for the air conditioning system.

Safety features include six airbags.

The SX4 1490cc GLX hatch is available in six colours and is priced at €17,385.
