The last hold-out in Suzuki's SX4 model range has come to the party. Front side-impact and curtain airbags are now standard in the entry-level SX4 hatch.
Around this time last year the importer released an upgraded SX4 model range, with improved safety equipment, including standard stability control, traction control, Brake Assist, three-point seatbelts for all five positions -- and six airbags. However, the basic SX4 front-drive hatch was left off the invite list for the additional airbags. Suzuki has now redressed the imbalance.
"The SX4 has always been one of the best value choices in its class combining performance, efficiency and Suzuki's legendary reliability," said Suzuki Australia General Manager Tony Devers. "It set a new vision for small crossovers when it first launched in 2007 with its unique combination of style, space, high driving position, practicality and fuel economy.
"Plus the SX4 is not just made for the city -- it can handle the great outdoors too. The option of an intelligent All-Wheel Drive (i-AWD) system means the SX4 caters to all lifestyles.
"And now with the added safety of six airbags across the range -- at no extra expense to our customers -- the SX4 is also one of the safest for any adventure you throw at it. At just $20,490 plus on roads, the SX4 is compulsory driving for anyone considering a quality small car," said Devers.
