2012 Suzuki S-Cross Concept: This Is The New SX4

What you see above is the S-Cross concept from Suzuki, set to bow at the Paris Auto Show in September. But, this C-segment concept isn’t a new model, instead a replacement for the Suzuki SX4.

The current Suzuki SX4 was a product of a relationship between Suzuki and Fiat. However, this time around, Suzuki has gone it alone, developing the SX4 replacement completely on their own.

Details in addition to the official images are scarce. However, considering Suzuki continues to describe the vehicle as a “C-segment crossover” expect it to have the same all-wheel-drive goodness of the current SX4. Engines will probably vary, as per usual, between Europe, Japan, and the Americas.

The S-Cross is a concept in name only. Whether wearing the S-Cross or SX4 nameplates, the concept will spawn a production model probably for the 2014 model year.

    What makes me angry is that the Suzuki built vehicles are actually decent automobiles..and nobody seems to care. BUT being a Suzuki fan I have to put my feelings aside and say it really is their fault. No advertising, 4 models..SX4, Equator, GVitara, Kizashi. They need 2 more models anyway.....How could Suzuki let Kia and there absolute garbage (before hyundai bought them), make it where Suzuki can't?? The Sx4, and Kizashi are great cars...What gives. It seems the company is STUBBORN. They don't even try. They just go with the flow even if it means going the way of the dinosaur. And the figgen management leaves people hanging on and never stating whether or not they'll stay in the country... I would like an SX4 Crossover. So do I buy one next year? Or would I be buying an orphan? Does Suzuki even care?

    Suzuki produces cars which has low maintain cost. And cars also looks decent. Suzuki makes perfect family cars always. Its safety measures are impressive. I am big fan of Suzuki cars. And I am sure that people will give good response to this new cross car concept . And they will make a good space between motor-market .. Thanks for this great post

  • ToolGuy This thing here is interesting.For example, I can select "Historical" and "EV stock" and "Cars" and "USA" and see how many BEVs and PHEVs were on U.S. roads from 2010 to 2023."EV stock share" is also interesting. Or perhaps you prefer "EV sales share".If you are in the U.S., whatever you do, do not select "World" in the 'Region' dropdown. It might blow your small insular mind. 😉
  • ToolGuy This podcast was pretty interesting. I listened to it this morning, and now I am commenting. Listened to the podcast, now commenting on the podcast. See how this works? LOL.
  • VoGhost If you want this to succeed, enlarge the battery and make the vehicle in Spartanburg so you buyers get the $7,500 discount.
  • Jeff Look at the the 65 and 66 Pontiacs some of the most beautiful and well made Pontiacs. 66 Olds Toronado and 67 Cadillac Eldorado were beautiful as well. Mercury had some really nice looking cars during the 60s as well. The 69 thru 72 Grand Prix were nice along with the first generation of Monte Carlo 70 thru 72. Midsize GM cars were nice as well.The 69s were still good but the cheapening started in 68. Even the 70s GMs were good but fit and finish took a dive especially the interiors with more plastics and more shared interiors.
