Opinions about sx4

not a bad car.good features in the top-end model, although l think the addnl charge for the leather seats is too high - might be cheaper to do it urself

but headspace at the rear is not good - l am 6 foot plus, and my head touches the roof in the rear seat

it basically competes with indigo, verna, & city

2 things i'd have liked to see - diesel engine and automatic option

Yes it is 100% good car.If u want to know more about sx4.??.Then go to http://marutisx4.com/

we all know that its the product of maruti.and maruti is valule for money .i suggest go for it

SX4 is a replacement for Baleno.
l would recommend you go for a Chevi.
German cars are the best.
Maruthi is cheap in spares.

hi! im from indonesia, well sx4, suzuki-produced car rite? l guess maruti is indian suzuki isnt it? :) as far as l know, sx4 is an answer to those who always doubt the performance & quality of suzuki is car, it has power, style, safety, & comfort. as it is a crossover type of car, which is a pioneer in indonesia, l can say that this car has a high mobility, a shame that the 4wd version wont be sold in indonesia. :(

PS: never to get the automatic one, u will ruin the whole suzuki fun-to-drive car concept, & l can honestly say, suzuki sucks in making automatic transsmission

Its a good car ..but suspension is not good as compared to other cars in that segment...
the ground clearance & inner space is cool..looks r also sporty n cool ...
its a powerful car (1.6) whcih u ll feel when u l drive
the high end model has good features like climate control n all...

l will prefer a dsel ver of it rather than a petrol..

Do a test drive for other cars also in the segment before finalizing

l saw a Suzuki sx4 on display a few days back. Its quite good looking, and seems to be part of the swift family(in terms of design). the interiors are quite high class, the designing is not dull at all, and there is ample leg space. although of you want some reliable information, you should checkout Autocar magazine.

it looks quite great it is affordable also

sx4 is a good and dashing looking car. It has stylish exterior and murderous interiors. it is price is also so low compared to its luxury it has automatic shift gear control and also have factory fitted i-cat security system which have magnetic immobilizer which make this car a safe ever car in world

It is a fantastic car. Simply the best midsize car-period. Good interiors, likeable/acceptable looks, Decent performance, Sorted ride, lots of space, generous width, unimaginable ground clearance, solidity, long list of equipments & terrible value.

Vices include some substandard parts, small quality issues & tall stance that upsets handling somewhat. (And l am a fan of low-slung sedans with close to the road seating..)

Compared to the immediate rival Honda City, it offers ABS, Airbags, climate control, 16''Alloy wheels & much more at a price that is a lot lesser. Leather seats r on the options list too....Terrific value.

The VXi costs Rs.6.80lakhs onroad, the ZXi about 7.78lakhs & the leather version is about Rs.30000 dearer

Though Maruti tries hard to convey the message that it is an all-new engine-christening it as from a rather misleading M-series of engines- it is a reworked Baleno unit as l found out. It has got throttle by wire system & DOHC. The lighter cylinder head with a single camshaft on the Baleno has been replaced by a twin-cam cylinder head. So power goes up from 94bhp to 102bhpees. And as l found out, this has been reflected on the performance of the car which is more than adequate. the engine is smoother & responsive than in the Baleno.

Brakes have good bite & hauls the car to a halt almost predictively. Ride is a bit stiff with the larger wheels & low profile tyres, though.

The SX4 weighs 1200kg & has 102bhp to pull it along
That equates to a power to weight ratio of 85bhp/ton (102/1.200)

Where as my Baleno develops 94bhp & weighs just 975kgs having a power to weight ratio of 96.41bhp/ton

You know which one is quicker & faster(quicker means accelerates harder, & faster means having a higher top speed)


The Honda is way behind in offering equipments...forget the climate control & alloys..the airbags & ABS r not even on the options list. The VTEC is grossly overpriced (1 lakh more)and still does not have ABS or Airbags. In that respect the SX4 is terrific value & definitely a better all round package. Look for pure performance & handling in it...and u will be disappointed.

The car has good grip in corners thanks to the thick rubber. But the body rolls considerably spoiling all the fun. And the engine though powerful on paper, takes 12.1 seconds to pull the car to 100 from standstill. The engine is very smooth on idle but is not very eager to rev up to the limit. Beyond 5000rpm, it gets very coarse & does struggle to build further revs. It has good midrange punch between 2500rpm & 5000rpm which makes it very driveable.

However these performance figures, may not be of much interest to you. l would warn that the slow speed ride is a bit too harsh....however it gets better as speeds increase. And the car was too tall for my liking. l felt embarassed like a midget when l stood near it. The car however is surprisingly easy to drive around..with good allround visibility. One good thing is that its high ground clearance of 190mm makes it the best on our roads. The good aspects of a car that began life as a cross-over has been retained.

Fuel economy is good for its size & considering that it has 1200kgs to lug around, it is ''acceptably'' fuel efficient.

At the end, here is a car that is too good to be a Maruti. The service & parts r likely to be cheaper than with the Honda. And reliability except for some substandard parts, should be just as good. However some SX4 test cars begin to rattle as early as 3000km, which makes be a bit worried abt their build quality.

The city will not have a facelift or a new successor until 2008. So in order to keep interest sustained, they r undergoing some changes.
There has been some buzz which is true, in the industry that Honda will soon offer ABS & Airbag as an option or standard fitment in the city. And another not so confirmed news is that Honda is likely to offer the VTEC engine in the City ZX GXi with a nominal price increase of Rs.20000. Now that is what l would like to hear.
