Last year, we found the auto show in Shanghai Suzuki Concept Authentics announcing the arrival of a new medium sedan in the Suzuki range. Things become official since appeared in recent days on the canvas, the final drawings of the car as they are filed with the Office of Industrial Property.
Discovering the drawings of the production version we see that the model is hardly different from the version concept car unveiled in 2013. The production model of the notchback sedan segment C will probably present in three weeks at Auto China 2014 held in China International Exhibition Center in Beijing.
Production of Suzuki Authentics will come from the Chinese joint venture established by Changan Suzuki and. Intended for Asia, Oceania and India markets the new sedan will be positioned below the Kizashi very discreet. In many countries of this region, this novelty will replace the aging SX4 Sedan for the Indian market, it will be marketed under the name Maruti Ciaz.
We have little information about the engines that will be available on this Authentics but it seems that the 1.6 VVT L4 will be part of in combination with a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT gearbox type option. This new Suzuki model should hit the market in the second half of 2014.
