      Exterior Bold and mascular.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Average.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Great , fuel economy is very good keeping in view the segment   U can get 14plus mileage if driving is between 80-100kmph and a sound driving habit.

      Ride Quality & Handling Excellent for indian condition.

      Final Words I am using this car since Dec 2009 and quite comfartable with it .I have used Honda city, Ford fiesta also but SX-4 is something different for its great power and engine response but little noisy , very good control and road grip U will feel the comfort of car and feel of SUV . 6 HRS of continuous driving is possible without any problem and tireness. I have travelled to Bengaluru , Rameshwaram Madurai from Mumbai without any trouble .  Service network of Maruti is unmatched and also not eoo costly in comparison to other companies.Music system is also quite good AC is also perfect.

      Areas of improvement In built rear sensor, blue tooth and Navigator is required.

      FUEL ECONOMY,ROAD GRIP,POWER & PICK-UPSIDE VIEW (When turning right)

      My fisrt car was opel corsa,then after that sx4.Before purchasing i test drived ford fiesta,swift dzire,honda city and finally sx4.In all the cars honda city hav a smooth driving but very low ground clearance(i hav a problem in my corsa....bcoz of low ground clearance...chechis always hit the speed breakers if little bit high),and also i need a complete car(honda city hav simple mp3 player and range is also a little bit high) so i opt for sx4 instead of above cars(1.fiesta...less service centre of ford...2.dzire...i dont like the looks....3. Honda city ...bcoz all the above problems) and maruti servicing is easy to find.I've purchased sx4 zxi petrol in 2010...since then i have no problem with this car.It have all the essentials features and the quality of player and speakers are very good,wchich are needed for a good car.I had travel approx. 10000 km and fully satisfied with it.best value for money, if looking for sedan then must be take a drive of sx4

      Areas of improvement  

       

       must improve side interiors, and then sthg good for reversing....

      good looks,good ground clearance,large trunk,smooth driving,have all essentials features...rear mirror,cheap interiors...

      Maruti suzuki has launched their first international product in india before anywhere in world.The car seems to be more accomplished in its class and Maruti has met the expectations of long waiting Indian public by providing latest techs and features for the first time.The Sx4 is very stylish(for real men),good interiors,engine,features,milage,comfort,price and service backup may drive the sales.But we have to wait till sales figure shows how it take on its rivals mainly HONDA which company hopes.I was wondering why they delayed diesel version 1.3L VGT where there remains more demand for it.nice looks,stylish both inside and outside,good engine and unbeatable pricerear looks compromice a bit,cant equal hondas comfort,refinement,perfomance,milage and brand value

      Dear Friends,

      I received a letter signed by Maruti Suzuki Shri. Mayank Pareek, E. O. Marketing and Sales, thanking me for buying a Maruti SX4 car and thereby helping Maruti by making SX4 become one of the largest selling sedans in the market.

      They also promised a surprise gift as atoken of appreciation. I had called their number 1800 1800 180 and 9910202020 many times. All the time they told me that Maruti will call me verify my lucky number and then send a surprise gift.

      This was a big joke being played on their car buyers. Their was nothing in it. After about a few days when I enquired abouit they feigned ignorance. I did email their contact@maruti.co.in . Initially they responded and promised to respond soon. However later they also went on to maintain a total silence.  I have also written a letter to their Chairman. As of now there is no response.  If this is the way Maruti Suzuki wants to treat its customers I wonder what they are heading for. Is there any body else who has experienced this fraud being committed by Maruti Suzuki. I am shocked by this attitude. They could have kept quite rather than promise surprise gifts and play pranks.

      The car has been performing perfect and upto most expectations. With time, I have started to like the interiors, which in the starting did seem a bit boring. The mileage seems to be hovering between 8.5 - 9 km/l in the city. Fantastic seating position. Once one gets used to the auto, I can assure anyone reading this, that unless ure into racing, but the Automatic. It is a dream to drive in the heavy Delhi traffic.

      Did not mention it in my first review (1000KM Report), but, the steering could have been a bit better in terms of feedback. It is good, but not upto the standard of the Ford Fiesta or the Honda City.  Also, the A-Pillar does create a blind spot at times. Reversing the car is not at all an issue (as mentioned by many SX4 owners) - probably thats because they have lowered headrests in the new SX4.

      However, I still maintain that it is the best value for money car in its segment.

       

      I am very satisfied with the overall experience so far.100% problem free so far. The steering feedback could be better and the A-pillar blind spot

      Exterior Hi every one,i actually own sx4(unlike some people reviews who are just bashing maruti). The exterior is imposing,good ground clearance(190mm) so its easy for me to drive on pot-holed roads of eastern u.p

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort The space inside is awesome. I am 6 ft and 115 kg,so belive me i do need space. The front or back seats,they are too good. Intially I found suspension bit hard but after 2000 km it eased out and now i barely feel bumps in it.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Have overtaken all the cars of C and D segment on highways of UP,where it is a norm to drive fast and furiously. For milage i will say that i have got 9km/ltr in one trip where my avg.speed was 100-110 and when i drove at constant 70-80kmph for 200 km,the car gave me a respectable 16.8 with a/c in full mode. No jokes.

      Ride Quality & Handling Intially it may feel awkward because once inside the car,you feel like its very huge,but very easy drive. i live in varanasi,and believe me you need good handling if you want to drive here.

      Final Words Excellent car,good space inside,awesome boot space,good ride. Now with diesel option, only thing diesel wont be powerful

      Areas of improvement Maruti guys need to put a good stero system and a more funky instrument panel.

      Easy driving,best ground clearance,gr8 pickup, imposing looksAverage milage,normal looking instrument cluste

      I Test drove the SX4 top end version yesterday.

      Very good service and knowledge displayed by exec - Pratham Motors - Outer Ring Road, Bangalore - Mr Raj.

      Points:
      1. There was only one test drive car available.
      2. Condition of car was just ok - been battered about by other test drivers and was quite dirty with about 10-15 mosquitoes sitting inside.
      3.There was a broken mudflap inside the boot - possibly owing to mistreatment by someone.

      Drive Impressions:
      Lovely responsive car. Powerful free revving engine,Great acceleration, Lovely gearing, clicky, sports car -like gear box. extremely easy and responsive steering. One doesnt feel the size of the vehicle and indeed, feels safe and secure since one sits at a higher level than many other cars on the road. One doesnt get agitated if one is swerving a bit, chicaning (in case one is trying to avoid a human or an animal who suddenly appears on the road.), because this car sticks to the road very well. Extremely comfortable car with Climate control and seat adjuster etc. I found the front quarter glass a huge help to observe motorbikes, cyclists and other denizens of our roads. Big rear view mirrors helped a great deal too. Pretty easy to reverse into position using the mirrors only, like one is actually supposed to do. This car performs well on rutted roads or potholed roads too like the one leading upto the dealer establishment - one has to be a bit careful to save the vehicle, but since the ground clearance is more or less as much as a Scorpio (claimed), there is no real issue.


      Equipment:
      Superb 205 size tyres on 16 inch alloys - absolutely lovely while cornering and while taking U Turns. Car sits tight and doesnt make you roll around inside. Feels secure and safe. Braking is superb with ABS/EBD. Of course the airbags are an added advantage.

      Toys inside are nice and functional. Electric ORVMs, Very good quality in dash CD/MP3 with 2 speakers mounted on the front doors and 2 at the rear. Decent sound quality, clear and crisp mid and hi-notes - decent bass feel without the vicious super bass thump which I cant stand anyway. Good feature - steering controlled music system. All the AC and other dials are within easy reach and minimum fuss - easy to operate.

      Comfort and Interiors:
      Seats are nice and firm and grip the driver/ passenger very well. Comfortable car - excellent in the front seat. A bit of a squeeze at the back since I am 6.2 tall with long legs and I had earlier been driving the car, so the front seat was pushed right back. My wife, who is of average 5.5 height found the back comfy and was not thrown about while I was driving and cornering. It is a big help to have the rear head rests - especially for long drives. Very easy to ingress and egress, especially for older people past their '60's, nice wide opening doors so one doesnt have to cramp up and exit the vehicle. Seat height adjusters are a definite PLUS especially for older people or even for vertically challenged people.

      Nice little aesthetic touches like silver painted dial edges, boot ring on gear lever and other little things. Lovely chunky steering wheel - feels sporty and nice to hold (I have large hands).

      FE:
      Fuel Efficiency claim is 9 to 10 kmpl in city, going up to 14- 16 on highways while being driven at optimum speed. - SOunds possible to me.

      Overall:
      All in all, I think this car is a FIRST CLASS DRIVER's / Enthusiast's car. A very good option if one is considering a Hyundai Verna Petrol or a Honda City. Very good value from Maruti as always, backed up by very good technology and of course, the great service network.

      Full marks according to me, to SUZUKI SX4 because there is something for everyone in this car! If I were in the market for a car, I would seriously put cash down for the ZXI Model. Pricing is a bit high at 8 lacs plus but in its class, very good value when comparing with
      Honda, Hyundai and in my mind, even the Corolla.

      I would not consider the VXI or others because for one thing, I dont like the smaller tyres (195 size) on 15 inch regular rims). This fact unfortunately knocks a full 10mm off the ground clearance which is one of the good points on the ZXI car, for India.

      The only sad fact is that there is no Diesel version yet and the man at the shop informed me that because of the Swift Dzire launch in both Petrol and Diesel, Maruti is still thinking about introducing a Diesel SX4. No idea about whether they will do so or not.
      Stylish. Safe. Solid vehicle. Great Ground Clearance. Easy in the city.Slightly cramped in the back seat. Expensive.

      I bought SX4 ZXi (without leather) model last month in chennai. It has a good boot space, for those who loves long driving with family, this is one of the best car.
       
      I took my car for a long drive (up and down 1000 kms), and driving was excellent and I enjoyed a lot.  I wanted to check the performance of the car in high speed, i tried 150 km/hr once, and i didn't felt that i was going on 150 km/hr, there was no noice and no vibration the road grip was excellent. With the powerful engine, the pick up was excellent and you must be very careful because the car goes from 90 to 130 in a flash and you will not feel the difference, so keep an eye on the speed.  I didn't felt tired after driving about 350 kms with one break.
       
      Inside city, i have to be little careful because of the size of the car. I felt very comfortable in city too. I yet to check for the milege, after my first service i will do the same.
       
      The rear seat is little uncomfortable when three people are sitting.  The person sits in center will face it, the seat is little elivated, that makes uncomfortable. I thought that problem will be solved if i put the seat cover, but it didn't solved it. For shorter journey like 2 hrs, it is fine otherwise it is little uncomfortable.
       
      I have read many comments that the milege is not high, as for as i am concern, this car is a Luxury segment car and 10 km/liter inside city should be fine with all comforts. Milege is not the one and only concern for me, i need to think on the service, maintenance, spare parts availability etc. I feel Maruti has.
       
      I am really satisfied and enjoying the comfort, the amount i paid was really worth.
      Good Style, Ground Clearence, sterdy, stable on high speedCheap Interiors, rear seat is very cramp

      I'm planning on buying a car in the 8L neighborhood and have been reading several reviews online and thought I'd contribute to the information available and invite comments on my observations.

      Before I begin, I thought I'd list the key features I'm looking for in a car:

      1. Must offer good safety features -  ABS and dual front airbags at least.

      2. Must have very good ride quality

      3. Should have comfortable seating (minimum 4 adults)

      4. Should offer good fuel efficiency

      5. I use the car for mainly for work (~25km/day) and ~10-15 km over the weekends, and I'm not really a speed freak, I just want a reliable, comfortable car to commute.

      Observations on the SX4 (ZXI)

      1. I test drove the SX4 and the first thing that you notice as soon as you buckle up is the high seat and excellent view of the road (I used to drive a Swift ZXI earlier and I'm making some comparisons)

      2. Responsive steering although I'm not sure if I want to keep nipping in and out of Bangalore traffic in a sedan - I enjoyed doing this in my Swift though :-)

      3. I had to negotiate a busy intersection - the one where you have to keep inching forward into fast moving traffic form the left and the right and immediately noticed that the front 'A' pillars prevented clear view of the traffic - I had to really make an effort to look between the wedges in the front to get a better look at the traffic on both sides

      4. Parking and reversing seem to pose a challenge due high rear profile of the SX4 - I've read that parking sensors could make life easier here?

      5. The suspensions and ride quality seemed to be good (comparable to the Swift?) although for a product where you spend almost all the time inside while you are using it, I really did expect Maruti to have better interiors - the exteriors looks, design et. al are all good, but I care more for the interiors as I'm driving the car, not outside looking at it most of the time.

      Observations on the Aveo (I'm comparing the 1.6 LT (option pack) but they only had the 1.4 available to test drive)

      1. As soon as you get into the Aveo and buckle up the interiors take you back - you take a bit to soak it all in. I was saying to myself  "nice... very nice" very pleasing to the eye.

      2. As I begin to move into the Bangalore traffic and feel a distinct sluggishness in the steering, also, the engine could have been a bit more responsive to the tap on the accelerator pedal

      3. I've read so much about the gear box being notchy - I did fidget around with it and got the feeling that I needed to change gears frequently - not sure if was just the busy traffic all around or I was wanting more out of the car, however the car keeps moving forward and you kind of let the gear stay engaged and press on...

      4. Excellent ride quality, and seating space - found it better then the SX4

      5. The only features that I found missing from the Aveo was EBD and anti theft system when comparing to the SX4 ZXI.

      At the end of the day I'm bit confused as to what car to buy as both seem to be somewhat equally matched - I get the impression that the SX4 would be better enjoyed by a someone who likes a bit of a race once in a way, while the Aveo would be appreciated more by someone who is happy to move with the flow of the traffic?

      Good looks, good post sales service, feature loaded carUnimpressive interiors

      Fantastic vehicle with loads of features especially in the ZXi version.

      Had a doubt whether I should go for a Maruti Suzuki vehicle after owning two vehicles from the same company previously.

      The SX4 removed all such doubts and I just went for it. Fantastic handling. Excellent & comfortable interiors. Great ground clearance. Beautiful safety features.

      Excellent vehicle for city & off road driving.
