The high riding Suzuki SX-4 sedan and hatch has off-road looks in a not-quite-SUV package, but what do its letters and numbers name stand for?
The Suzuki SX-4 name reportedly stands for “Sports X-over 4 all seasons”.
Although the reasoning seems a little daft at first, remember that despite the off-roader styling cues, all-wheel drive isn’t standard throughout the range.
The first-generation SX-4 was co-developed with Fiat, which sold its version as the Fiat Sedici. Plans for Lancia badged model, badged Pangea, were scrapped. European versions of both the Sedici and SX-4 were built in Hungary by Suzuki.
