Based on the S-Cross concept showcased at last year's Paris Motor Show, the vehicle was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show and will go on sale in Europe sometime in the second half of 2013.

On the inside, Suzuki claims that the interiors of this car is designed for comfort on long journeys. The spec sheet suggests it's spacious and has 430 litres of luggage space. For the sunroof lovers among you, the crossover will be available with a panoramic sunroof too.

If you choose to get the 1.6-litre petrol engine, then you'll get a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard and a 6-speed manual gearbox, in case of the 1.6-litre diesel engine. A CVT 'box (with a seven speed manual mode) will also be available as an option. 

This 4WD crossover will be available with an option of 16" and 17" rubber. According to the Japanese car maker, the SX4 Crossover has been designed for 5-star Euro NCAP rating. Things will become clear when proper tests are done.
