The long-awaited Suzuki S Cross review is now here and we have the SX4 and it's in the SZ5 trim.

The Crossover now has a hybrid powertrain quite a clever system to doesn't just increase economy it also takes load of the combustion system for example things like heated seats, ICE etc draw power from the 12 V battery with this new system will take power from the 48V system.

We have a six speed manual gearbox and Suzuki's all grip system an all wheel drive system that detects when the wheels are slipping and adjusts the power distributed to the wheels.

You have various modes snow mud and automatic mode and even a sport mode and what's the engine well it's a fantastic one that we've already experienced in the Swift Sport.

That's right it is the 1.4 turbocharged booster jet engine.

Now you might be thinking it gives quite good performance in a car but how would it cope with an SUV's weight and size, well it's very good, nippy acceleration from the lights as Annabelle demonstrates in the video it also sounds good too.

It's well kitted out inside, comfortable, sporty and has a great panoramic sunroof.

It has lots more safety to including radar braking and adaptive cruise to control this is the first time we've experienced this in the Suzuki and it was a good.

We headed into the Lake District and to find some little Trails, and may only have a 350mm ride height but that does mean that you can get a little bit more adventurous with your picnicing as we demonstrate.

The range starts at just over 20,000 how model is just under 28,000 but it is well kitted out looks the part and with that new powertrain, it really needs to be driven.
