Suzuki SX4

[Autoban]

Ano ba ang actual fuel consumption ng Suzuki SX4 crossover (kilometers per liter) ? Their showroom always say it's 10 kmpli, but I just need actual advice from an owner talaga.

Thanks very much.

Hello guys....

I got my SX4 Aero Sedan last week, it was not my first choice but I really had a good trade in deal with my ALTO DELUXE.

Mine came in Pearl White with 17 inch mags and Yokohama Tires, with skirts, front and rear chins.....

It has a display in the dashoboard saying that my FC going back and forth to Valenzuela-Manaoag via SCTEX and NLEX was 12.9km/L....

Hope to hear comments from some SX4 owners...it would be quite helpful...

I also had a chance to drive an SX4 hatchback owned by a Suzuki dealer. Ride was quite good. I can say that suspension was really great for both Sedan and hatchback.

Power - Well, not as powerful as it looks with it's really huge engine, but for me is still manageable....

Aircon - Great...thanks to Denso...

Sound System - Speakers are good, and In-dash CD player has anti-theft mechs....remote keys available on steering wheel...

Security - I love it's keyless system and airbags....

Trunk space - Really spacious...more than I ever need...

Overall - Appearance is quite good...a really huge body...grills are OK, not as good as the HONDA City but I could say better than usual sedans.....the sign "SX4" at the back ruined everything...

As I have said it wasn't my first car of choice but my dealer gave me a trade-in offer I can't and should'nt refuse....lol......

Wow, congrats to Altoboy for his new Suzuki car! We hope to hear more from you on your driving experience of the Suzuki SX4, specifically the city driving FC, smoothness of the ride, handling, breaking prowess, etc. I guess power may improve after 1,000KM tune up? In the U.S., the SX4 is 2.0 liter kasi (dito 1.6 liter lang). I guess the reason for this is more of FC.

Sarap ng may bagong auto, iba ang bango sa loob!

as ko lang to the owners particularly ung xover.... anu classification ng sasakyan nyo? (passenger car-light or UV or SUV?) magkano comprehensive w/ aog/tpl nyo?

[lakarz_16]

Maganda ang SX4 crossover.. Parang subcompact na suv.. Ilan fuel consumption? was thinking of swift or sx4 crossover.. Suggestions? thanks

[alwayz_yummy]

tough luck here... ako nga naghahanap ng local inputs, wala.. international lang.. * 8T dow, 22T mo for 5 years, tempting, pero i need data regarding maintenance and actual FC...kung gusto mo, pm ko sa yo agent ko sa e.rod wheels and north edsaif interested ka...different dealers, different add-on accessories.. mas type ko ung sa north edsa kasi OEM ang dvd at headrest monitor.. sa wheels ay may conversion panel at 2-din universal dvd w/ rear-view mirror monitor..

currently, naghahanap pa ako ng good deal and good buyer

saw one (orange something met.) today sa red ribbon mindanao ave. bihira lang ang sx4 sa daan. Mura na ba ngayon ang price?

my bro-in-law got his sx4 crossover limited edition 1st week of this month. He got it with a low DP (8k) almost 22k monthly for 5 yrs..

been driving the sx4 almost everyday. one thing i noticed is the burnt smell on the rear end. smells like burnt fabric, im just wondrin what it is.

and also when turning left, it has a lot of blind spot that would make you put your face near the windshield just for you to see whre your turning.

FC is 7.3 km/l

HI Guys,

anybody here who bought their sx4 at wheels? What's the model of your Double DIN dvd/audio system? Anybody here who was able to enable the GPS support? the model i have in my car is DM-6205. THanks!

just got my sx4 crossover 1.6 a/t last friday, so far so good. here's my initial observations

fc shows 8.6km/l - pretty good gauging from my 1.3 2006 toyota vios m/t which has an average consumption of 11km/l mix city/hiway driving.

front and rear disc brakes - solid stopping power.

instrument cluster - clear and classy, the white and blue backlit display is crisp even if you set at the lowest contrast.

acceleration - just plain OK, average.

a/t gate type trasmission - shifting is smooth and quiet.

suspension - very good, very comfortable. way better than toyota vios.

A-pillar glass designed to eliminate blind spot - with the high clearance of this vehicle and very low gutters here in pinas every u-turn u make has defeat its purpose, it has too much blind spot makes you take the 2nd lane for u-turn just to make sure u wont hit the gutter or better yet open your window during u-turn.

seats - seats are comfortable but ithink toyota vios has a bigger seat.

so far these are what i observed while driving the vehicle for two days now.

Any more recent feedback from owners? Bihira pa rin ang SX4 sa daan. Price is pretty restrictive and from other posters the engine is too underpowered at 1.6L which is why FC is bad. I guess this is like the Kia Soul...

any idea when the next upgrade for this is happening?

[triangle]

judging from my 1.3vios mt, my sx4 1.6 engine power is just about right at a variance of 300cc the output power compared to the vios is a lot lot better, at pagdating sa akyatin kahit may sakay kang apat at mga bagahe pareho ang ramdam ng isa ka lang na nakasakay yun vios ko hirap na hirap na pag may sakay kang apat at akyatin ang andar you have to downshift to get thru which translates to higher FC. I think its a good thing na bihira sa daan ang sx4 para unique ka hehe nde tulad ng vios ko sa lahat ng parkingan at terminal ng taxi pare-pareho kme kung kulay puti lang to malamang napara nako hehe.

I have seen the SX4 crossover sa Mega mall a few hours ago. Mukhang ok naman ang design. At 900k, is it worth it? At first look, parang bitin ang engine? Pero mataas naman ang torque that is achieved at a lower rpm.

110hp*5600rpm
150Nm*3800rpm

Boss triangle, kamusta naman ang maintenance cost nito?

[germs]

In my experience, mas ok pa humatak ang SX4 sa office namin kesa sa Mazda 3 ko. Probably because the SX4 has slightly more power, and is a bit lighter. Highway driving from Pampanga to Pasig nasa 17km/L inabot according to the onboard computer.

salamat boss germs. I thought mabibilang sa daliri ang users ng SX4 kasi wala nagrereply for 2 days...

december ko nakuha ang unit as of now my odo reads at 2576km and i had serviced it only once nung 1k pms and P1,149 ang binayaran ko kase free ang labor and mineral oil ill change to full synth at 10k, as of today yan pa lang gastos ko sa auto and still no issues whatsoever seems well built just like the vios.

[vefyjeph]

thanks!

So mukhang matibay naman pala... I have doubts kasi in the long run kasi konti nga lang sold units. Baka mahirapan o matagalan pyesa kung may masira if ever... So far 2 SX4 crossover pa lang nakikita ko since Jan 2012. Isang pula at isang upgraded edition na kulay silver ata.

[germs]

In my experience, marami-rami na ako nakikitang units ng SX4. Sa office namin 2 ang naka SX4, isang orange and isang black, tapos may service vehicle kaming SX4 na orange din. 2 weeks ago yung drive ko from Pasig-Pampanga-Pasig, swabe naman takbo and matipid sa gas. Although ang reference ko kasi is my personal car which is a Mazda 3, na known talaga na malakas sa konsumo.

I am trying to haggle my SA for a discount using the car's unpopularity as a leverage. Unfortunately 30k lang ang binibigay nya discount plus free LTO, matts, seat cover and tint... So that brings the price to 869k... Oks na kaya to? I was hoping for a 50k+ discount.

When I was hunting for my first car I was given a 60k discount for a Mazda3, nagbackout lang ako dahil sa poor gas consumption according to feedbacks. Honda, not known for giving discounts gave 20k discount sa Honda Civic FD. Mukhang matigas itong nakuha ko SA dito sa Suzuki. Hehehe. Any recommendation sa SA and dealership here in Manila?

For the price and car I'm getting, might as well stick to the Corolla 1.6G
