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.

  2009 Suzuki SX4 crossover vs. 2008 Sedan - 2009 Suzuki SX4
  By Jaysx409 - November 27 - 7:00 pm

  I bought a 2008 SX4 Sedan last June that got totaled when someone rear- ended me on April fools day. So I get a 2009 SX4 Crossover with navigation, and would like to point out the differences I noticed from the 2008 Sedan, which I put over 13,000 miles on. 5-Speed: Smoother clutch action, easier to make smoother shifts. Shifter works smoother too. Ride: Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is also standard. I noticed less body roll in sharp curves and a more stable ride quality. More fun to drive! Interior: Controls a little smoother, interior panels seem to be of better quality. And I cant help but love the hatch with the fold-and-tumble seats, along with a rear window wiper.

  Pleasant surprise & fun! - 2009 Suzuki SX4
  By crossover sx4 - April 23 - 4:10 pm

  Came upon the sx4 by accident at a car max. Asked to drive one, was so impressed by the build , quality, responsiveness, very maneuverible, very fun to drive. Love the hatchback, you sit high looking over most cars, great visibility, had rails on top, got optional bike racks,very high quality at fraction of the cost of leading car tops. Looks sharp, have had so many compliments on this car. Upholstrey is comfortable, very supportive, fit and finish are very good. Love driving the stick, smooth shifting. Temp.gauge ,time and mpg display very visible. Beautiful red lighting at night, easy on eyes. The pop up navigation system is so convenient, works immediately, blue tooth connection, and MP3.

  Awesome little AWD car! Love it - 2009 Suzuki SX4
  By Busy Mom - November 21 - 8:23 pm

  I bought this car right before winter started (I had a Toyota Matrix before) and boy was I glad! This car is great in the snow. It gets me where I need to be, from snowy roads in New Hampshire through crowded streets and in tight parking spots in downtown Boston. This car is powerful, small, easy to parallel park, and fun to drive. Although it is small, it is well designed. My son sits in the back in his toddler seat no problem. I have also sat in the backseat, and while it isnt as spacious as a SUV of course, your feet arent squished. The seats and spacing is well designed.

  Bye-bye Benz - 2009 Suzuki SX4
  By tsloan - September 13 - 3:43 pm

  I traded my 2005 C-class 4matic mercedes for touring model of the sx4 crossover. I was wanting a smaller car with awd for the colorado winters. Ive only had the car a few days. So far so good. It is sporty getting around town, but it really has to work hard to get up the foothills of the Rocky Mts. SX$ has the same fuel economy as the benz. I seriously considered the Honda Fit, but the Fit had a rough ride on even smooth roads and had horrible road noise even at low speeds. The SX4 has a surprisingly smooth ride and minimal road noise. It is a little more exotic than the hondas and toyotas- --at least around Denver. The view from inside the car gives impression of a bigger car

  Amazing Value - 2009 Suzuki SX4
  By Jay - July 11 - 11:26 pm

  This is my first Suzuki vehicle. I owned a 02 Passat before, and wanted a more reliable & newer vehicle. However I didnt want to give up too many features. After test driving the SX4, I instantly became a fan. I love the small size of the car. Very easy to park and fun to drive. The AWD is outstanding in the snow. Love that it can be turned off to save fuel. Exterior design is unique & looks very European. The cloth seats are much more comfortable than the leather in my Passat. Road & engine noise are somewhat intrusive. Interior is comprised of hard plastics, however they have a high quality texture. The SX4s engine is sufficient for a 4-cyl. Im obtaining around 25 mpg overall

  Great value - 2009 Suzuki SX4
  By Tony - May 20 - 5:43 am

  A lot of stuff for a little money: AWD, navigation, Bluetooth, steering wheel-mounted controls. Perfect winter/second car.
