Overview & Reviews

For 2009, Suzuki expands the SX4 line, offering lower-priced versions of the sedan and hatchback. A base and LE trim slot beneath the Sport sedan while a front-wheel-drive hatchback ("Crossover") debuts. The sedan now has a split and folding rear seat. Upping the value quotient, Suzuki includes a navigation system as standard on the upper trims while stability control becomes standard on all Crossover trims.

• Below-average fuel economy, modest cargo capacity, interior materials lag behind class-leading Honda Fit and Nissan Versa, no auxiliary audio jack.

  SX4 Upshift Nightmare - 2009 Suzuki SX4
  By Dodger - June 7 - 2:36 pm

  Do not buy an SX4 Crossover with manual shift!! When I test drove this car I noticed an odd tendency to over- rev when shifting up through the gears but put it down to my unfamiliarity with the car or to the engine being cold. I have driven stick shift cars for the last 35 years and was confident that a slight adjustment in driving style would avoid any issues. How wrong I was! The SX4 has a bizarre electronic throttle linkage that unpredictably decides to rev the engine in between gears when upshifting and no amount of adjustment in style can reliably avoid over-re

  Overall good - 2009 Suzuki SX4
  By Jon - January 8 - 6:10 pm

  I have a 2.5 mile commute and get 21 mpg overall. Handled great in the snow this winter. 3600 miles on it so far and working good. I had to replace one tire for a nail in the side wall and that cost $138 with taxes and fees.

  BAD FUEL ECONOMY - 2009 Suzuki SX4
  By Kelly - November 18 - 12:13 pm

  I just brought a 2009 SX4 Crossover Tech Package in Nov. 16, 2009. The tag says 21/28 on the feul economy. But I have been using it for the pass week and the mile marker goes down to 16 mpg local and only 20 mpg on the highway. I expected to be at lease 21/28. Other then that the car is great. If anyone is looking for a fuel efficient car I would not recommend this. Also the cloth seat cover seems too thin.
