Of course, tells about his body with a thick camouflage, making it difficult to clearly see the new forms that have the old compact minivan converted now made in Japan. Very soon begin production at its plant in Hungary, around January 2013. So there is really little, to see the model in our dealerships Nippon. Suzuki SX4, hunted by our land ...

Testing in Sierra Nevada
The conversion of compact 'all road' a minivan, has been most surprising ... The truth is, that under the great amount of camouflage, really appreciate a few details. But the prototype Suzuki, and enjoy the final stage of development where open wheel road, and we bring all the spy photos courtesy of autoblog.com
