Snow is in the auto industry sometimes just right. "Since our four-wheel drive could really show what they can do," said Suzuki spokesman Axel Seegers. That it calculated to present the new 4 × 4 versions of Swift and Kizashi thaws, he looks relaxed: "Under normal road conditions, our cars are good, too." Late January, the new Suzuki with the dealers.Is the small Swift then already have the fourth generation of 4 × 4 drive, celebrates the all-wheel version of the middle class model Kizashi a debut. It differs in appearance, not the front-wheel drive: in addition to size and design of the 4.65 meters long saloon remained variability and trunk volume (461 liters) unchanged.
The same applies to the 2.4-liter four-cylinder petrol engine (Euro 5) with 131 kW / 178 PS and 230 Nm of torque. What the 4 × 4 variant, however, reveals the selector lever of the stepless CVT automatic on the center console - with front-wheel drive, the engine speed translates to a six-speed manual gearbox.
The shift paddles on the steering wheel can be selected over the six simulated gear ratios, there are only four-wheel-Kizashi. Four-wheel drive does not mean that all four wheels are permanently driven by the mid-Suzuki - in normal conditions, the Kizashi 4 × 4 with front-wheel drive is underway.
Even if the driver four-wheel mode to a small switch on the left is activated next to the dashboard, the electromagnetic multi-plate clutch, the motor power leads initially shared only with the front axle. Only when the "intelligent all-wheel drive (i-AWD) detects slippage there, the electronically controlled switch system in a fraction of a second to the rear wheels.
The superior traction security makes not only off-road noticeable advantage, but also helps to cope with fast corners without over-or understeer. Serve with a sporty, stiff suspension, the back can not stand still - the eternal balancing act here is really well. And even if the engine is at high speed a bit too loudly, suggesting the overall low noise level to a proper isolation and small gaps.
The disadvantage is the 4 × 4/CVT-Kombination noticeable in performance. The front-wheel drive with a top speed of 215 km / h and 7.8 seconds from rest to 100 faster and punchier than the four-wheel drive with its 205 km / h and 8.8 seconds. Also, consumption and CO2 emissions (8.3 liters, 191 g / km) must be made concessions - that a good 100 pounds lighter 2 × 4 model consumes four tenths liters less.
Then there is the additional charge: Is there a front-wheel drive Kizashi already for the lowest 26 900 €, to be invested for the all-wheel drive version 3000 € more. In addition to the sovereign traction of the 4 × 4 and the comfort of a well-functioning automatic he brings but also a hill-start assist as standard with.
In other respects his equipment to the high level of the base model. Dual-zone climate control, glass sunroof, cruise control, multi-stage electrically adjustable and heated leather seats, rain and light sensors - everything's for free. An MP3-capable CD radio with Bluetooth, steering wheel controls, USB port is also on board at no extra cost.
Also in late January is also the 4 × 4 version of the latest generation Swift at the start. It is used by the all-new 1.2-liter four-cylinder petrol engine (Euro 5) driven, which delivers 69 kW / 94 hp and the fall in the sporty small car debuted. The first time with double variable valve timing (VVT) engine is also operating in the permanent four-wheel drive Swift with a 5.5-liter consumption (CO2: 128 g / km) very modest.
And, although the precise shift transmission lacks a sixth gear. It is always the five-door Swift 4 × 4 is as fast (165 km / h) as his 4 × 2 counterpart, only the sprint to 100 km of the 75 kilos heavier four-wheel drive requires a good second (13.4 s) more. 14 490 € charged Suzuki with the club for the average package including air conditioning, heated seats and CD/MP3-Radio Forward moving 4 × 4 variant - the price impact that is just 900 euros.
With the fleet have all-wheel scooter Suzuki "in the small car sector and particularly in this price range almost a unique feature," says Axel Seegers. Since it is probably not matter if it's snowing.
