The Suzuki CX4 debuted in 2006. The company presented its new model at the Geneva salon. Its full name is Sport Crossover 4x4 Seasons, but it was rarely used in wide circles. At the beginning of development Japanese company decided to merge with the Italian Fiat. The result of joint work was Sedici in Italy. The car is still in demand among consumers on the Russian market. The owners fell in love with it, first of all, because of the cost, which was combined with the good cross-country ability of the model.
However, over time, the weak points of the Suzuki CX4 became known: design, cramped interior, increased level noise, stiff suspension, and there is no need to mention passenger comfort at all. However price policy car gained the upper hand and contributed to an increase in sales. Why did it happen? But the fact is that, along with the above disadvantages, there are some characteristics, in the presence of which the disadvantages no longer seem so significant.
After restyling in 2009, noticeable changes appeared. In general, we can say that they benefited the car. A year later, the updated SX4 appeared on the Russian markets.
Second generation of crossover SX4
In 2013, a new version of Suzuki was released. have increased significantly, there is more space in the cabin. Now the SX4 model rightfully bears the title of crossover. Its length increased by as much as 150 mm and became 4300 mm, the width also underwent changes (1765 mm), which was a difference of 10 mm with the previous version. Increasing the wheelbase by 100 mm improved the stability of the Suzuki CX4. Specifications in new version were impressive: maneuverability and controllability increased by several levels, and this, despite the previous, albeit somewhat modified, platform. It is worth paying attention to the reduction in height by 30 mm. Ground clearance of 180 mm allows you to confidently pass the most difficult sections of the road.
It should be noted that so far there is no excitement among fans of this model. The old version is still held in high esteem. Manufacturers decided to add the “Classic” index to the name of the car (2006-2012).
Advantages overview
In the updated Suzuki CX4 ( specifications which have changed in better side) rear passengers can now feel much more spacious. The increase in length was precisely due to back and trunk. The driver's seat also did not go unnoticed. In it, the longitudinal adjustment of the seat has become noticeably longer, and this allows even tall people to feel comfortable. It has also become more convenient for the front passenger, whose seat is now height adjustable, just like the driver’s. Although it’s a little hard to sit in front, the support on the sides is beyond praise.
Depending on the configuration you can enjoy panoramic sunroof, as well as everything that is typical for a modern car. We are talking, of course, about navigation system, xenon lighting, parking sensors. The manufacturer did not forget about climate control in two zones. The advantages also include excellent visibility, which is ensured by relatively narrow pillars and large mirrors.
Finding flaws
Taking into account the subjectivity of opinions from the outside, the car began to look noticeably more modern. However, the weaknesses of the Suzuki CX4 are still quite pronounced. First of all, there are complaints about the design of the radiator grille, but this flaw, according to many opinions, gives that very “zest”, revealing the face of the car. There is some debate about the shape of the hood. But this component also adds modernity to the appearance of the SX4.
If you look at the shortcomings of the interior, the first thing that catches your eye is the cheap upholstery. The manufacturer decided not to use expensive materials. This shortcoming was compensated for by the design. There is even soft plastic in some parts of the interior. In general, the interior looks very simple, but quite decent.
Key points affecting the cost of a car
- Ergonomics deserves special mention. “Suzuki CX4” (price from 1 million rubles) deserves a solid “five” in this criterion and one of the highest places in its class.
- Transformation of seats. Rear passengers can change the angle of the backrests of their chairs. And on a hot summer day or on a cold winter evening, you can comfortably place drinks on center armrest, where there are cup holders.
- There is a large number of different cavities for placing small household items.
- Spacious trunk, spare wheel.
The weakest points of the Suzuki CX4
According to user reviews and expert findings, the most vulnerable spot in the Suzuki CX4 car is the engine internal combustion. This is where manufacturers have something to think about. This model is offered with only one type of engine. And, it’s worth noting, not very modified.
The Suzuki engine is a gasoline engine atmospheric unit power 117 hp With. and volume 1.6 l. The consumer is given a choice of only the type of transmission - manual transmission or variator. However, there are also shortcomings in the work of the latter. The accelerator pedal responds unstably to the action of the driver's foot, either tearing the car out of place, or creating an invisible wall in front of it. These points, of course, require improvement.
In lower gears, the Suzuki engine, frankly, is “dull”, and this is unpleasant. But the fact is that the maximum torque is at around 4400 rpm.
But with all this we must pay tribute to the efficiency of the engine. This is 8-9 liters per 100 km in the urban cycle and 6 liters on the highway. The car has all-wheel drive, which creates advantages when moving through snow and mud.
Brief overview of the shortcomings
- It is worth noting the extremely poor level of sound insulation, at which almost any sound of both the engine and wheels can be heard in the cabin.
- The suspension is tuned well at first glance, but the weak points of the Suzuki CX4 are serious irregularities on the road; knocking and vibration can be felt when driving over them.
- Handling is quite confident, but high speeds a buildup appears.
Another reason for the low demand for the Suzuki SX4
The current pricing policy of this model makes the SX4 much more affordable than its competitors. After all maximum configuration will cost the consumer only 1.2 million rubles. This price for a well-equipped crossover is a completely acceptable indicator.
So what actually influences the model’s low sales figures? But the fact is that at the time the car entered the market, the price difference with the previous version of the car was too noticeable. And combined with the low variability of the internal combustion engine, the competitiveness of the new model turned out to be low.
"Suzuki CX4" (1.6 engine with "mechanics") - quite decent choice. The driver gains advantages in acceleration and fuel economy.
Once popular in Russia urban Suzuki crossover The SX4 has been updated and appears in a slightly different guise - more stylish and modern. The “Japanese”, which is known in Europe under the name S-Cross, after restyling began to attract even more glances than before, because the manufacturer corrected a number of shortcomings of its predecessor and tried to make its “SUV” as attractive as possible. Some may like the SX4 2017, others may not, but the fact remains that the model is interesting. True, it’s a little expensive for a Russian car enthusiast... About what’s interesting about the new product Japanese auto industry, and how it differs from the previous version, read our review!
Design
Suzuki designers who worked on the appearance of the SX4 2017 obviously had a hard time: after all, turning a monster into a handsome man is not an easy task. How well they coped with their task can only be judged by the owner of the crossover himself, but one thing is for sure: the design definitely turned out to be more attractive, although still controversial. If you close the Suzuki nameplate on the false radiator grille, similar to the Jimny “mini-tank” grille, you will be able to see some similarities with the cars Italian brand Maserati The SX4 grille now features vertical chrome ribs (the old version there are horizontal plastic ones), and a huge head optics got a new pattern and LED running lights. In addition, the exterior features modernized bumpers, a short hood, a fairly high roof and a large windshield. 
The side line of the body has undergone virtually no changes. On the sides of the car there are large informative rear-view mirrors and plastic protective linings, hinting at the beautiful off-road performance. The “stern” also remained almost untouched: here only a plastic cover appeared on the apron and a little change tail lights, which, by the way, like the headlights, are created using LED technology. Thanks to all the innovations, the restyled SUV generally looks more aggressive compared to its predecessor.
Design
At the heart of the 2017 SX4 model year lies the platform from the pre-reform crossover. The design has not changed: an independent MacPherson spring suspension is installed at the front, and a semi-independent spring suspension at the rear. Ground clearance remains at the same level - 180 mm. The AllGrip 4WD all-wheel drive transmission is also familiar from the pre-restyling car: it allows you to choose between 4 driving modes - Auto, Sport, Snow and Lock - depending on the road situation. For those who do not need all-wheel drive, front-wheel drive modifications are available.
Adaptation to Russian conditions
The updated SX4 with its 18 cm ground clearance and all-wheel drive Russian roads not scary, but it is not recommended to get carried away with heavy off-road trips - you should remember that this car a full-fledged SUV is not. To conquer the vast expanses of our country, the new product also received additional anti-corrosion treatment for the body. The sound insulation of the “Japanese” is quite good. Of course, in the cabin from time to time you can hear noise from the suspension, the whining of the engine can be heard in your ears. high speed and air whistling in the area of the A-pillars, but the 2017 SX4 is definitely quieter than its famous “relative” Vitara.
Comfort
During the modernization, the model's interior materials were improved - now they are certainly no worse than modern ones Subaru cars and Nissan. The original front panel and climate control buttons are made of soft plastic and are pleasant to the touch. The dual-zone climate control is stylish in a European way, but there is a small complaint about the design of the new seven-inch touchscreen of the multimedia system, borrowed from the Vitara - dark glossy inserts are used for the finishing, which constantly leave fingerprints. Elegant ventilation deflectors hang above the touch display, giving the center console a harmonious and complete look. The instrument panel is simple and clear, with pleasant backlighting. The steering wheel is comfortable, multifunctional, and there are no serious complaints about it. The front seats are more or less comfortable, despite the lack of pronounced lateral support, and have adjustment and heating functions. The first row is quite spacious - especially a lot free space over your head. There is also plenty of space in the rear of the cabin, for which we can thank the knee recesses in the backs of the front seats. At relatively compact dimensions body, which after restyling has not increased by a millimeter, the rear sofa of the SX4 2017 is quite suitable for comfortable seating of three people. The sofa has thick padding, a folding armrest and a backrest that can be folded in a 60:40 ratio.

With the backrest reclined volume luggage compartment is at least 430 l. This is not the most large trunk in its class, but still very roomy.
Every trim level of the new SX4 comes with as many as seven airbags, including front and side airbags for the driver and front passenger, driver's knee airbag, curtains, as well as a set of electronic assistants, including:
The top-end crossover is equipped with a Bosch infotainment complex with a seven-inch touch screen high definition, steering wheel controls, navigation with 3D function, SD card slot, Bluetooth and USB connection port mobile devices. A similar touchscreen supporting Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink technologies is equipped Suzuki Vitara and Baleno. Bosch “multimedia” has a user-friendly interface and the ability to display images from the camera rear view while driving in reverse, quick responses to short touches and a Lexus-like sound control function. Thanks to a modern multimedia system, you can enjoy your favorite music and talk on the phone without being distracted from driving.
Suzuki CX4 Specifications
The 2017 SX4 engine range includes a 1.4-liter Boosterjet direct-injection petrol turbo engine, which comes from the Vitara and produces 140 hp, as well as a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated M16A petrol engine with variable phase technology VVT valve timing and a return of 117 hp. The first engine is paired only with a six-speed Aisin hydromechanical automatic transmission, which replaced the CVT transmission, and the second is combined with a five-speed manual transmission. Both engines comply environmental standard Euro-5. Real average consumption fuel is less than 7 liters. per 100 km.

Updated SX4 New and crossover Vitara- cars with the same multimedia complex, similar technical equipment and a comparable price from the Japanese automaker Suzuki. What are their differences, and which model should be preferred?
SX4 AFTER RESTYLING
As a result of the update, the largest crossover in the Suzuki line has acquired a number of high-quality transformations. So, appearance
Suzuki SX4 distinguished by: A massive and chrome-plated radiator grille with vertical sections, emphasizing the solidity of the model;
- expressive optics presented LED lights aft;
- an aerodynamic panel in the form of a visor on the trunk lid, making the model sportier.
If you compare the updated SX4 with its predecessor model, then among the details interior decoration
stands out new system multimedia that supports Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink. The base has 7 airbags, cruise control, fog lights. Additional options: rain and light sensors, 7-inch touchscreen, rear view camera, as well as navigation with 3D function.
Besides, Russian market affected by such an innovation as changing the gearbox - now a 6-speed is installed instead of a CVT automatic transmission, designed to give traction control flexibility, transparency and increase the endurance of the car off-road.
COMPACT AND YOUTH VITARA
Model Suzuki Vitara against the backdrop of the more family-friendly SX4, it stands out bright, modern design And ample opportunities individualization, among which we note 15 color variations of the two-tone body and multi-colored design of plastic inserts on the front panel of the cabin. All this positions Vitara as a youth car, which does not in any way affect the energy intensity of its suspension - the model is perfect for driving not only in the city, but also off-road. Well, as for general equipment, then it is absolutely similar to the SX4 crossover: on-board computer, heated mirrors and front seats, driver's seat height adjustment, steering wheel adjustment in length and degree, electric drive and electric windows. WHAT'S BETTER, SUZUKI SX4 OR VITARA?
Let's carry out comparative review technical data and capabilities of the SX4 New and Vitara models:| Suzuki SX4 | Suzuki Vitara | |

Weight of Suzuki Vitara - 1120 kg. Thus, it is not only more compact (125 mm shorter), but also lighter (50 kg) than the SX4. Vitara looks brighter in detail and is more comfortable to stay in. However, the SX4 was more successful in terms of noise insulation and is much more representative in basic equipment: rear electric windows, light alloy wheels, leather steering wheel, climate control, parking sensors and keyless start system.
That is why, taking into account all the above characteristics and numerous reviews from owners, it looks most attractive Suzuki model SX4 New.
Suzuki Vitara, 4th generation, 10.2014 - 03.2019
I am an attentive, picky driver, but not nervous, experience constant driving Since 2008, I can easily wipe the windows and headlights at car washes; the aggressiveness of driving depends on my mood. Before Vitara, there were budget bloopers Nexia and Accent. I thought it would be tougher, but it turned out to be generally more comfortable. During the year the mileage is 7t.km. But now I don’t notice where I used to slow down and leisurely “waddle” without slowing down. Doesn't tilt when turning. I am very pleased with the car. At city speeds it is pleasantly responsive (I took test drives to compare with Duster and Sportezh). Nothing creaks anywhere. Visibility and mirrors are good, both near and high beam solid. The interior is 10 cm wider than previous cars and the same amount longer, it’s convenient to get in and out (my height is 178 cm) back seat even in winter I sit down and sit calmly, quiet, warm, comfortable, on Idling, if you don’t look at the tachometer, it’s not clear whether the engine is running or not. Electric windows on the front doors and mechanical on the rear (children can regulate the ventilation of the cabin while parked without turning on the ignition). The radio with CDs and MP3s with controls on the steering wheel is very convenient, the sound is excellent.
My configuration does not include trunk lighting. Installing engine protection reduces the ground clearance by one and a half to two centimeters.
Did not have. I’ll add some advantages: The seats are comfortable and heated, but the upholstery material is such that you don’t need to turn on the heating down to -10 degrees (it doesn’t get cold). The shock absorbers do not knock in the cold, they “warm up” after 10 minutes of driving. Engine compartment half empty, the engine is unusually small, everywhere good review, Japanese minimalism and strength. In the summer, the consumption of AI95 gasoline in the city is 6.5 liters for more than a million residents. In winter with warm-ups and plugs 7.5l. In the summer, on intercity routes 80 - 90 km per hour, the speed is 1300 - 1600 and without frequent overtaking, the consumption is 4.5 liters. When the temperature dropped below -24 degrees, I didn’t take any risks and set it to periodically warm up. For winter I bought a second set of Chinese metal wheels original sizes 1500 rub. I really liked the built-in ESP anti-skid system. In winter, in snowfall and ice, it accelerates and maneuvers steadily and confidently. The weight of the car is the same as that of the B-class bellies, but it takes on board 130 kg more weight. I have never seen such effective lifting capacity in any model of a similar class of crossovers (before purchasing, I studied all similar models of all brands presented in Russia). Varta's battery is unusually smaller than usual and always showed a good charge.
Mileage 45,000 km. Knocked steering rack. Contacted the dealer. We examined it, took photos and found no mechanical damage.
They invited me for a re-examination. According to the dealer, one of the steering rack boots was torn. And on this basis they refused warranty repairs, they said that the rack was faulty, the rods were rusty. They offered to purchase a new one at a price of 46,000 rubles, plus replacement work. It turns out that during maintenance 2, there was no hole on the boot, then it appeared and within 15,000 the rack failed.
➖ Rigid suspension
➖ Noise insulation

➕ High level security
➕ Spacious trunk
➕ Cost-effective
The advantages and disadvantages of the Suzuki CX4 2018-2019 in a new body were identified based on reviews real owners. More detailed benefits and Cons of Suzuki SX4 II with manual, automatic and CVT, with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive 4x4 can be found in the stories below:
Owner reviews
Here are the advantages of my Suzuki SX4:
1) Fantastic consumption of 6.7 l/100 km in summer in a city with a population of over a million in traffic jams, in winter - within 8 with warming up.
2) Comfortable seating - the SX4 new is lower in ground clearance than most SUVs, you don’t have to jump into it, your trousers don’t get dirty, at the same time it’s not a bulge and can cope with our uncleaned and unrepaired roads.
3) Safety: 7 airbags and system directional stability already in the database, 5 points according to EuroNCAP, ESP has intervened more than once in time when you are about to be thrown out of the rut, which we have everywhere in winter and summer.
4) Large salon and the largest trunk in the class (430 l) with not large dimensions, I moved to a new apartment without ordering a gazelle - I transported everything in it.
But there are a couple of drawbacks:
1) The windshield heating is not enough.
2) The interior takes longer to warm up than on a Lada; I haven’t owned other foreign cars, I don’t know.
Radmir Sirazdinov, rides a Suzuki SX4 1.6 (120 hp) CVT 2014
Video review
Suzuki SX4 new with a CVT simply captivated me... There are no frills in the car, but all the announced options are in order and suit me perfectly. Most distinguished low consumption fuel.
I drove from Murmansk to Petrozavodsk with a consumption of 5.3 liters per hundred. At the same time, I tried to drive 110 km/h on cruise control in areas with good roads... What will happen next is unknown, but for a year and a half of operation no problems arose at all. I am very glad.
Sergey Podgorny, drives a Suzuki CX4 1.6 (120 hp) CVT 2014
Great car! I purchased a Suzuki CX-4 New in October 2014. I drove 10,000 km - no complaints. The consumption is amazing: 4.9 - 5.2 outside the city, in the city - 6.5. Mixed 5.9 - 6.0 liters. 95 gasoline is preferable, as the dynamics and consumption are excellent. You can also use 92nd gasoline. The dynamics are a little worse.
One small minus - when driving on uneven roads (not fast), rear pillars The shock absorbers are a bit harsh. The car is very good. I placed it next to the Qashqai - the difference in dimensions is 5 and 8 centimeters (height and length). A fully packaged car costs 300,000 rubles less than a standard Qashqai!
The owner drives a Suzuki SX4 1.6 (120 hp) MT 2014.
Where can I buy?
At first general impression was positive compared to previous model, BUT! I have encountered a problem that DESTROYS all the advantages of this 2014 model.
What we were able to pay attention to short term driving: the seat backs fold comfortably flush with the trunk floor, there is a USB input for listening to music, more airbags, a larger trunk, a side rack front glass shrunk - more comfortable and better visibility!
The gas pedal is very sensitive, after the Suzuki SX4 of 2006 I had to get used to it - several times the car stalled in traffic jams, it was annoying. The suspension is very stiff, any speed bump at a speed of more than 5 km/h is very sensitive to overcome.
And now about a more serious problem: I bought the car in early October 2014, by which time more than one hundred cars of this model had already been sold. October 14 - a hooligan smashed the right front side glass(that which is omitted).
Through long calls 5 official dealers Moscow, which sell this model, it turned out that in all of Moscow there is not a SINGLE glass for a car of my model, and even in the warehouse official representative Suzuki glass data is missing! Not at all in Russia! (2 weeks wait for replacement).
Irina drives a Suzuki SX4 1.6 (120 hp) manual 2014
The car is not for your own money - it’s cheap, but it costs a lot of money. About cheapness: rear bumper— solid bullshit and plywood. There is no comparison with the Daewoo Sens.
The torpedo is already creaking loudly, although the mileage is only 2,000 km. Plastic is bullshit! That's all the joys of owning this unit for two weeks, although the same Daewoo Sens After 11 years of use, I'm happier than this expensive trough!
Of the advantages of this car One can only note the stability Good work suspension and acceptable fuel consumption (depending on driving style).
Review of Suzuki SX4 1.6 (120 hp) with CVT 2015
I replaced my 5 year old SX4 with a new one this year. It immediately became more fun to drive on the highway. And in general, a lot of modern and useful options. More economical than the old one by about a liter in the city. When driving mainly in traffic jams, I get 11 liters per hundred (calculated at gas stations), and the computer lies less here - the error is up to 5%, as opposed to 15% for the old one.
And here off-road qualities got a little worse geometric cross-country ability lacks. After installing the steel motor and clutch protection, ground clearance became less than 15 cm. I wouldn’t advise anyone to get into the rut.
Among the advantages I will note powerful motor for a relatively light body. In stock modern interior and nice options. Great led light. A good trunk, many niches and pockets in the cabin.
The disadvantages include the seat, which is not very comfortable for a high seating position, while for a low seating position there is not enough reach of the steering wheel. An extended warranty results in significant costs for additional maintenance every 5,000 km.
Review of Suzuki SX4 1.4 (140 hp) automatic transmission with all-wheel drive 2016.
The car is good! After 6,000 km I added some washer fluid. In addition, the automatic after the manual transmission was scary at first, but I’ve already gotten used to it. At first it seemed that the automatic was terribly slow, but people who drive automatic transmissions almost “since childhood” open their mouths in surprise: the automatic, they say, is very playful.
Now the main thing: the interior. Compared to the previous car, the interior is very spacious. The trunk is no smaller than in the Roomster, the stove is much cooler, the heat is immediately transferred, without warming up for 20 km.
Visibility from behind the pillars is not very good; it forces you to constantly turn your head and body, but, again, you have experience. The motor is crazy! It buzzes loudly (on acceleration), eats criminally little, even compared to the Skoda.
The family went on a short “long distance” trip - 1,500 kilometers. Well, we're happy. We drove at night, my wife and son settled down very well to take a nap, because there is a lot of space in the cabin, that is, it allows passengers to sleep.
Overall, I'm very, very pleased with the car so far. So far I've only seen one car like mine. The suspension... is loud, but powerful, that is, it rumbles, but the car rides very smoothly. Apparently, the wheels also play a role here, since the radius is still larger than in the Skoda. Overall, I don’t regret the purchase yet.
