The Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch # 11443 does fit your 2010 Suzuki SX4 Hatchback. It has a gross towing weight capacity of 2,000 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. The ball mount, pin and clip are included.
If you will be towing with this hitch you will want to check your owners manual or the Suzuki dealer for the towing capacity of your 2010 Suzuki SX4 Hatchback. For towing you will also need a Tow Ready 2 Inch Hitch Ball, # 19258, and the Curt Wiring Harness, # 56002.
If you will be using the Curt hitch for non-trailer loads like a hitch bike rack, you will need to use a Curt Stabilizing Strap, # 18050. One end of the strap will attach to the bike rack and the other end to the vehicles trunk lip or window. It gives added support and stability to the bike rack and keeps the movement of the bike rack to a minimum, which puts less stress on the hitch.
The manufacturer (Curt) requires the use of the stabilizing strap on all of their Class I hitches. Because the Class I hitches have a lower tongue weight capacity and they do not want any added strain to be put on that hitch.
