English to Indonesian: Road Test Suzuki SX4
Source text - English Anyone who believes that car makers are running out of niches into which they can manoeuvre new models hasn’t been paying attention. With the popularity of saloons on the wane, our love affair with crossovers shows no sign of cooling. Which is why a car such as the new Suzuki SX4 – an apparent fusion of supermini, SUV and 4x4 (according to the model you choose) – is viewed as a serious newcomer rather than a mildly diverting sideshow.
The SX4 is made in partnership with Fiat, which will sell the SX4 – restyled and with standard 4x4 underpinnings – as the Sedici. It is built on a stretched version of the Swift’s platform, which means that Suzuki engineering underpins both cars rolling out of the firm’s Magyar factory in Hungary. Fiat’s chief contribution to the project may only be an engine (a 120bhp 1.9-litre Multijet turbodiesel unit), but it’s a fine one. Suzuki’s supporting 1.6-litre VVT petrol motor powers the four-wheel-drive SX4 4GRIP GLX tested here and develops a more modest 107bhp. Even so, that’s competitive in a class that comprises only the VW Polo Dune (£12,645, 75bhp), the Citroën C3 XTR (£12,040, 97bhp) and the smaller 4x4 hatch, the Fiat Panda (£9195, 90bhp). None of these cars, SX4 included, has been designed as a serious mud- plugger. They’re ‘soft-roaders’ – cute urban chariots with a grafted-on 4x4 design personality but no more than ‘occasional’ off-road ability.
Translation - Indonesian Siapapun percaya bahwa saat ini manufaktur mobil telah mulai melakukan perubahan di kelas yang sempit dengan menampilkan model baru yang akan menarik perhatian. Dengan popularitas saloon yang semakin turun, kisah cinta yang baru beralih pada model crossover. Hal inilah mengapa mobil baru seperti Suzuki SX4 – yang menampilkan perpaduan supermini, SUV dan 4x4 (sesuai dengan model yang Anda pilih) – dipandang sebagai pendatang baru yang serius daripada sekedar sebuah peralihan desain.
Mobil ini menandakan kerjasama dengan Fiat yang akan menjual SX4 – dengan gaya berbeda dan standar berpenggerak 4x4 – dengan nama Sedici. SX4 dibuat dari platform Swift yang diperbesar, artinya rekayasa dasar Suzuki untuk kedua mobil ini berasal dari pabrik yang sama di Hungaria. Kontribusi utama Fiat pada proyek ini ada pada mesin (Multijet turbodiesel 120 hp, 1,9 liter), namun hal itu akan menjadikan pilihan yang tepat bagi penyuka model sport. Suzuki sendiri menyediakan mesin bensin 1,6 liter VVT yang akan menggerakkan SX4 4GRIP GLX berpenggerak empat roda yang kami uji dan mengembangkan tenaganya hingga 107 hp. Meski begitu, mobil ini tetap kompetitif di kelas yang baru lahir ini dengan rivalnya yang hanya VW Polo Dune (US$ 24.152, 75 hp), Citroen C3 XTR (US$ 22.996, 97 hp) dan hatchback 4x4 yang lebih kecil, Fiat Panda (US$ 17.562, 90 hp). Tak ada satupun dari kelas ini, termasuk SX4 yang dirancang serius untuk terjun ke lumpur. Mereka adalah “soft-roader” - pendekar jalanan kota dengan kepribadian 4x4 namun tak lebih dari sekedar kebetulan memiliki kemampuan off-road.
