Suzuki Offers Up Garmin GPS On All 2009 SX4 Cars

Filed under: Car Tech

Back in the day, integrated GPS units were the stuff of luxury vehicles, gargantuan SUV cruisers, and lost old ladies. Suzuki is looking to change all of that by including the Garmin T.R.I.P. on all 2009 SX4 Sport and SX4 Crossover automobiles — at no extra charge. As Suzuki gleefully points out, this marks the first time a sub-$16,000 automobile has included a GPS unit as standard equipment. The T.R.I.P. (Travel, Real-time traffic, Information and Play) sports a flip-up 4.3-inch screen and Bluetooth connectivity. As for software, it will include real-time traffic, weather forecasts, local event listings, community-based suggestions, and a gas station finder that can filter based on fuel prices. We’re still fans of portable GPS units, but there is something elegant about those big-screened integrated monsters.
