Suzuki has given the UK a special edition SX4, the SZ-L.

The SZ-L is essentially a “blacked out” SX4, with gunmetal accents for the roof rails, front grille, wheels, and skid plates. It is only offered in two body colours, Silky Silver Pearl and Cosmic Black. The theme continues inside, with light grey Alcantara trim, and gunmetal stitching for the steering wheel.

Rather unfortunately, the SZ-L is only offered in FWD form with a 1.6L four-cylinder engine, resulting in a 0-60 time of over 10 seconds. However, if you’re willing to sacrifice performance for those great looks, the car can be all yours for £13,145, so long as you live in the UK.
