Suzuki Looks for New Buyers With the iV-4 Concept

It is very unfortunate that the automotive division of Japanese automaker withdrew from the North American market because since then all we’ve seen from them are more interesting vehicles.

In Geneva it was the new SX4 and yesterday, in Frankfurt, they unveiled the concept N-4 - a compact type crossover vehicle that would be positioned just below the Grand Vitara.

The vehicle aims to attract a new customer for the Suzuki brand.

The concept of N-4 is a design study developed under the theme "mastering the terrain." From the front, it features lines similar to those of an SUV but from the profile it looks more like a crossover.

Although its primary purpose is urban driving, the AWD system allows it to face less hospitable trails. We can already see this as a serious rival to the Nissan Juke, particularly in European markets.

The production model series is planned for 2015.
