The Fiat Sedici is a mini sport utility vehicle, that was co–developed by Fiat & Suzuki, mainly for the European market.
History
It was introduced in December 2005, at the Bologna Motor Show,[2] and was built at the Magyar Suzuki plant in Hungary. The expected production volume was 60,000 units per year, ¼ of these were sold by Fiat, and ¾ of were sold by Suzuki, where it was badged as the SX4. The design was created by Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign Giugiaro studio, and was an alternative to mini multi-purpose vehicles (MPV), which have a more "boxy" appearance.
It was the official car of the 2006 Winter Olympics. As the car is four wheel drive, it could be considered a 4x4. As 4x4 is 16, the car is named Sedici (pronounced [ˈseːditʃi][3]), which means "sixteen" in Italian. By pressing a button, the driver can change between 4x2 and 4x4 transmission modes. The car also has electronic stability control (ESC) on the options list and a diesel particulate filter (DPF) is a standard feature. In November 2006, it was the second best selling SUV in the Italian market, and by June 2007, it was the best selling vehicle.
Since 2012, the Sedici has been sold in Israel, with automatic (4 speed) or manual (5 speed) gearbox. During 2010, the Sedici was withdrawn from the United Kingdom, due to poor sales of under 50,000 units.
Sedici 4x2
The front wheel drive version of the Sedici was unveiled in May 2008. It was available with the same engine choices as the 4X4 version and was available in two trim levels: Dynamic and Emotion. The price, in Italy, was around €2000 cheaper than the 4x4 version.[4]
Engines
There were two engines available: a 1.6 L Suzuki petrol and a 1.9 L Fiat turbodiesel.
