Assembled in Japan and Hungary and sold throughout the world, the Suzuki SX4 comes to America for the first time as a 2007 model. The U.S. version, which will be assembled in Japan, has a larger engine than what the rest of the world gets, but the same basic five-door hatchback configuration – though ours comes standard with all-wheel-drive. The system offers drivers three modes of traction: front-wheel drive, automatic four-wheel drive and a 50/50 locked power split to create permanent four-wheel-drive, which is most useful for traction in rain, snow and mud.
