Fiat Sedici

The Fiat Sedici is a subcompact crossover SUV in the B segment that Fiat and Suzuki co-developed, mainly for the European market. It was introduced in December 2005 at the Bologna Motor Show, built at the Magyar Suzuki plant in Hungary and manufactured until October 2014, with 2015 as its last model year. The expected volume was 60,000 units a year, one third sold by Fiat and two thirds sold by Suzuki as the SX4. Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign Giugiaro studio designed it as an alternative to boxy mini MPVs, and it was the official car of the 2006 Winter Olympics. A switch lets the driver change between 4x2 and 4x4 modes. Its name is the Italian word for sixteen, since 4x4 is 16. It offered a 1.6 litre Suzuki petrol engine and a 1.9 litre Fiat turbodiesel, and Fiat withdrew it from the United Kingdom in 2010 for poor sales.
