The Maruti Suzuki SX4, launched in 2007, marked the company's entry into the premium sedan segment. Developed in collaboration with Fiat, it featured a robust 1.6-liter petrol engine, later complemented by a diesel variant. The SX4's high ground clearance and sturdy build gave it an SUV-like stance, appealing to buyers seeking a blend of sedan comfort and ruggedness. Inside, it offered spacious interiors with features like automatic climate control, steering-mounted controls, and a premium audio system. Despite its strengths, the SX4 faced stiff competition and was eventually phased out in favor of newer models. Nevertheless, it remains appreciated for its durability and commanding road presence.
