Redesigned Suzuki SX4 ... not for U.S. consumption

Here's a facelifted Suzuki SX4 that appeared on China Car Times' web site. While the U.S. did get s a host of slightly facelifted 2013 models, it was not this facelifted. The model shown here would likely be either a China-only thing or a 2014 thing. It keeps its 1.6- and 1.8-liter models (no 2.0 liter like we had in the U.S.), so no major updates there.

Maybe it's because I know what the SX4 has looked like since its introduction in 2007, but the front on this just doesn't seem to flow that well. Then again, maybe because it's simply grafted onto the same-'ol body.

So why report on this? Because Suzuki Race car? More like because I still like Suzukis.
