Specifications

Crossover immediately after its creation, the reputation of the people in a low-power car. Complete sets offered with one unit (petrol aspirated 1.6L, 117), the internal combustion engine. And so it went until the first significant updates. The only engine was upgraded: received an updated design, with a reduced weight and a good torque. Then the engine became more powerful and more economical and satisfying the needs of customers, allowing to compete with well-known brands.

In 2017 already godu line will be presented not only a gasoline engine of 1.6 liter, 117 HP, and new aggregates BoosterJet (1 l and 1.4) and 1.6 liter diesel motor. BoosterJet 1-liter will be equipped with a 5 speed manual, with the remaining 6 or PCR machine. It is a good choice would be the 1.6-liter engine with 6-speed manual - rapid acceleration and low fuel consumption.

Configurations Cuzuki CH4 in 2017 are equipped with four-wheel drive with 4 options as its predecessor: the transmission modes AllGrip.

First, Auto, involves the usual conditions and increased fuel economy;

second, Snow - for snow-covered roads, control of the drive is carried out according to the rotation of the steering wheel and pressing the accelerator pedal;

The crossover will be able to bypass its main competitor, the Korean Ssangyong Tivoli, not only on price, but also a wide selection of complete sets.

Changes in the dimensions of the crossover is not expected, but the developers have promised to increase the gap. Handling is good, but in excess of the maximum speed of cars starts to sway.
