The 2025 SX4 is a compact crossover (often sold as the SX4 S‑Cross in Europe) and on petrol/automatic duty it’s tuned for smooth, city-friendly driveability rather than outright economy. Suzuki commonly pairs its small petrol engines with CVT automatics in this segment, so confirm the exact gearbox type on the vehicle — CVTs feel very smooth in traffic but have different service demands. ALLGRIP 4WD is an optional fit on some variants, so if you want occasional light off‑road ability or better wet-weather traction check whether this car is 2WD or AWD. New‑car warranty coverage in Ireland typically applies to a 2025 example, and genuine Suzuki parts/service are available through the dealer network.

• Confirm gearbox type (CVT vs torque‑converter) and ask for any transmission service or software update records; feel for shudder or hesitation during acceleration.
• Check operation of parking sensors, rear camera and any ADAS (lane assist, AEB) for correct function and calibration.
• Inspect front suspension, steering boots and tyre wear for kerb/urban damage and uneven wear from city driving.
• If the car is fitted with AWD/ALLGRIP, test engagement on a loose/gravel surface and listen for unusual transfer case or front differential noises.
• Look for stone chips and paint damage on the leading edges and under the bumper after one winter of Irish roads (common on new compact crossovers).
