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

  • Carson D At 1:24 AM, the voyage data recorder (VDR) stopped recording the vessel’s system data, but it was able to continue taping audio. At 1:26 AM, the VDR resumed recording vessel system data. Three minutes later, the Dali collided with the bridge. Nothing suspicious at all. Let's go get some booster shots!

  • Lorenzo Are they calling it a K4? That's a mountain in the Himalayas! Stick with names!
  • MaintenanceCosts It's going to have to go downmarket a bit not to step on the Land Cruiser's toes.
  • Lorenzo Since EVs don't come in for oil changes, their owners don't have their tires rotated regularly, something the dealers would have done. That's the biggest reason they need to buy a new set of tires sooner, not that EVs wear out tires appreciably faster.
