The Suzuki SX4's ability to track the driver's intention should surprise even driving enthusiasts. The suspension system was optimally matched to a body with high levels of bending and torsional rigidity. This rigidity supports the sharp and predictable handling. Even after long periods of energetic driving, the occupants should still be comfortable and the car easy to drive.
Its high levels of bending and torsional rigidity and reinforced suspension mounts allow the front MacPherson struts and rear torsion beam suspension to perform to their potential. Wide 1,500-mm tracks (1,495-mm for 4X4 models) and available large 205/60R16 tyres help add to the already stable ride feeling.
Ventilated front discs and leading-and-trailing rear drums actuated by a 10-inch booster provide sure stopping power and a brake feel that many will appreciate.

The Suzuki SX4 has an extensive array of safety features engineered to inspire confidence. Active, or preventative, safety features include an anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), which is standard on all models. The system can be upgraded to ESP®* (Electronic Stability Program). ESP®* adds to the vehicle's stability with four major functions: ABS, EBD, traction control, and stability control. Stability control generates compensating yaw moment in the event of rear-wheel slip or front-wheel slip to help return the car to the intended line.
Passive, or collision, safety features start with a safety reinforced body that provides class-leading levels of protection. Front and rear crush zones absorb impact energy, while the frame design directs much of the impact energy away from the highly reinforced cabin. The Suzuki SX4 is also designed to provide high levels of protection for pedestrians.
