Consistent with Suzuki’s “Way of Life” brand philosophy, comes the all-new 2008 Suzuki SX4 Sport. It is the automotive cousin of the SX4 Crossover and is designed to ease the day-in, day-out urban grind for its drivers. The four-door SX4 Sport and five-door SX4 Crossover seamlessly blend into varied driving conditions and environments. Superior performance runs through the whole vehicle with new Suzuki shocks.

With features derived from the highly acclaimed SX4 Crossover, and suspension and steering heavily influenced by the award-winning Suzuki Swift, the all-new 2008 SX4 Sport provides a spirited and responsive driving experience. It comes equipped with a sophisticated 2.0-liter, DOHC in-line four-cylinder engine rated at 143 horsepower. Featuring an aggressive front fascia and grille, muscular and athletic stance, and low, rising waistline, the SX4 Sport makes a visual statement that underscores its on-road performance. With class-leading standard features, including A/C, power windows and locks, four-wheel disc brakes with Bosch ABS, six airbags, 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels and remote keyless entry, the SX4 Sport is an affordable blend of driving excitement, style and performance.

The SX4 Sport features a sophisticated 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, 16-valve DOHC engine matched to a five-speed manual transmission or an available specially tuned four-speed automatic transmission. The 2.0-liter engine delivers 143 horsepower and 136 lb.-ft. of torque with an estimated EPA fuel economy rating of 23 mpg/city and 31 mpg/highway with automatic transmission.

The chassis of the SX4 Sport borrows design elements from the award-winning Suzuki Swift that helped Suzuki earn numerous industry awards worldwide, including many “Car of the Year” trophies in Europe and Asia. The SX4 Sport features a rigid steel unibody underpinned by a confidence-inspiring chassis that was fine-tuned in Europe to provide good stability on the highway along with crisp and responsive handling and braking and minimal body roll. Its rigid structure, along with reinforced suspension mounts, allows the front MacPherson struts and rear torsion beam suspension to work to their full potential. KYB shocks and standard stabilizer bars enable dynamic handling. The combination of wide track and a large 17-inch wheel-and-tire package help optimize the ride-and-handling balance. The SX4 Sport also features large four- wheel disc brakes as standard equipment.
