The 2011 Suzuki SX4 is a compact car that is available in Sportback, Sedan, and Crossover trims. Fuel mileage ranges from an EPA estimated 22 mpg city and 32 mpg highway. Safety is comprised of eight standard airbags, anti-lock braking, electronic brake distribution, brake assist, and tire pressure monitoring.
The 2011 Suzuki SX4 is offered as either a 5-door hatchback or 4-door sedan. Sedans are available in Base and LE trim, with Sport Sedans available in S, SE and GTS trim. Hatchbacks are offered in Base, Technology and Premium trim levels.
The 2011 Suzuki SX4’s most appealing feature is available all-wheel drive. Shoppers who don’t need this option should research the competition -- there are more affordable cars with better fuel economy ratings available.
This price is still more expensive than the $16,999 Suzuki SX4 Crossover, which is the only model that comes with standard all-wheel drive.
Look at the Ford Fiesta and the Honda Fit. Both are available as hatchbacks, offer a lot of cargo room, zippy performance and sip fuel. The Fiesta sedan starts at $13,320, a little less than the SX4 sedan.
The SX4 is available in four models: a sedan, a sport sedan, sportback and crossover.
A manual six-speed transmission is standard, with an optional continuously variable transmission (CVT) that replaced the outgoing four-speed automatic.
Also standard now are anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution, traction and anti-skid control.
The Suzuki SX4 Sedan manages 23 mpg city with either transmission, but the base sedan with a manual manages the best of the bunch with 33 highway miles per gallon. The SX4 Sport model manages slightly less, with 23 city across the board, but a peak of 32 highway with the manual, and 30 highway for the CVT.
The base SX4 Sedan comes standard with an information display screen, power windows, locks and mirrors, tilt-adjustable steering wheel, six-way adjustable driver's seat and an MP3-ready stereo with speed-sensitive volume controls.
For the SX4 Sport, standard features include a touch-screen navigation system, CD and MP3 capable stereo, steering wheel controls, tilt0adjustable steering wheel, remote keyless entry, power windows, locks and mirrors and more.
