Crossover Suzuki is just that

Suzuki has unveiled its latest crossover concept - and it's called the SX Sport Crossover.

The carmaker took the wraps off the vehicle at the New York motor show. It says it built the all-wheel-drive SX for two reasons - "hauling down the road and hauling the gear of an adventure-seeking weekend warrior."

The SX is powered by a supercharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing 162kW. It is an all-aluminium twin-cam 16-valve unit inspired by the company's high-revving superbike powerlants.

It meets the road with a wide aggressive stance, thanks to huge flared guards housing 17-inch alloy rims and low-profile rubber.
