If you could cope with manual I suspect there might just be a handful around with the wicked Fiat 1.9 DIesel (I have seen the odd Grand Vitara in NZ with that motor and know that SX4's at least got them overseas). Those would be a real cracker unit not just because they are good on gas (which they are even when hacking around or loaded) but that motor is bombproof, super low maintenance and has plenty of usable power.
That 1.9 Fiat unit is the most well proven common rail diesel on the market, it was the first common rail in production and the slightly updated version the SX4 uses is still in production today and remains one of the best diesel engines on the market.

my dad has one and the trip computer says 9 km to the litre and it has never been reset since new done 60000 and driven very slowly. so a good indication. my xr is a bit better than that. it does 10.5 per 100k average driving under same road conditions but i dont go slow.

You probably won't find a diesel SX4 here, it'll be the old Suzuki 2l petrol
8.4/l 100km sounds bang on for what you could expect for a normal combined cycle, at least in the 2wd (4wd is heavier and has more drive train overhead)
