Suzuki Motor has launched the 2017 Suzuki SX4 S-Cross in Japan. The facelifted model is priced from 20,62,800 yen (INR 12,06,466.93).
The facelift has brought a newly-designed radiator grille with vertical chrome slats and chrome surround, slightly reshaped headlamps with fresh graphics and LED lighting, LED daytime running lights, a wide-mouth lower grille, remodelled bumper and a resculpted hood.
The JDM-spec 2017 Suzuki S-Cross measures 4,300 mm in length, 1,785 mm in width and 1,595 mm in height, has a wheelbase of 2,600 mm and a ground clearance of 185 mm. It's powered by the M16A 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 117 PS at 6,000 rpm and 151 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm.
