2009 Suzuki SX4 Crossover Base

The 2009 Suzuki Crossover Base shares a drivetrain with the other SX4 Crossovers – a 2-liter inline four with 143 horsepower and 136 lb-ft of torque that's paired with a standard five-speed manual transmission (22 city/29 highway mpg) or an optional four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission (22/30). The exterior features of the SX4 Crossover Base include black roof rails, rear wiper/washer, rear glass de-mister, body color bumpers and door handles, and black fender flares.

The interior highlights are the SuzukiTRIP Navi system, air conditioning, a height-adjustable steering wheel, 60/40 split fold-and-tumble second-row seating, a 12-volt power outlet, a four-speaker, XM Radio-ready, AM/FM/CD stereo with MP3 and WMA playback ability, and power windows, doors, and locks. The safety features include four-wheel antilock brakes, dual-stage driver and weight-sensing passenger airbags, front seat-mounted side impact airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, a head impact protection structure, and front and rear side impact door beams.
