TheFiat Sedici is asubcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) that was co-developed byFiat andSuzuki, mainly for the market inEurope. Introduced in December 2005, it was manufactured until October 2014 (with the last model year being 2015). As 4x4 is 16, the car is namedSedici (Italian:[ˈseːditʃi]), which means "sixteen" in Italian.

It was introduced in December 2005, at theBologna Motor Show,^[1] and was built at theMagyar Suzuki plant inHungary. The expected production volume was 60,000 units per year, one third of these to be sold by Fiat, and two thirds sold by Suzuki and badged as theSX4.^[2]

The design was created byGiorgetto Giugiaro'sItaldesign Giugiaro studio, and was an alternative tomini multi-purpose vehicles (MPV), which have a more "boxy" appearance. It was the official car of the2006 Winter Olympics. As the car is four wheel drive, it could be considered a 4x4.

By flicking a switch, the driver can change between 4x2 and 4x4 transmission modes. The car also haselectronic stability control (ESC) on the options list and adiesel particulate filter (DPF) is a standard feature.

It was the second best selling SUV in the market in Italy in November 2006, and by June 2007, it was the best selling such vehicle. Since 2012, the Sedici has been sold in Israel, with automatic (four speed) or manual (five speed) gearbox. During 2010, the Sedici was withdrawn from theUnited Kingdom, due to poor sales.^{[citation needed]}

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.^[3]

There were two engines available: a 1.6 L Suzuki petrol and a 1.9 L Fiat turbodiesel.

In March 2009, the Sedici was given a more substantial upgrade: A changed front grille, similar to that of the Bravo, and a new bumper. Inside, it had more sophisticated instrumentation, new fabrics, the air conditioning vents were changed, and it had new Euro 5 compliant engines.

The 1.9 litre Multijet engine was replaced by the more modern 2.0 litre Multijet engine producing 99 kW; 133 hp (135 PS), also the petrol 1.6 litre engine was upgraded to have 88 kW; 118 hp (120 PS), with lower fuel consumption. This coincided with the withdrawal of sales of the Sedici in the United Kingdom, although a handful of facelifted cars were sold there.
