Suzuki's tall-wagon SX4 crossover has been on the market for nearly a dozen years, but that's all set to change soon. Â Debuting as a thinly-disguised concept car, the S-Cross that was unveiled today at the Paris Motor Show will arrive in showrooms as a production model in the not-too-distant future.
The S-Cross is taller, longer and wider than the SX4 that it will replace. Â It features chrome trim, a two-tone exterior and sculpted flanks, feature that indicate that the Japanese automaker is trying to move its crossover up a notch on the market.
The chrome treatment continues on the rear bumper, which also features two rows of red LED lights. Â The rear window is surrounded by gray trim which provides a nice contrast with the color of the body.
The current SX4 is slated to go out of production in about a year's time, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a full production model show up in March at the Geneva Motor Show. Â A North American debut at April's New York International Auto Show also seems reasonable.
Unlike the SX4, the S-Cross will not spawn a Fiat-badged version in Europe.
