Value for Money, enjoy what you pay for

 

Exterior Very nice, iconic. Heavy built get respect on the road while driving. Though not bolted 100% accuracy, some gaps and alignment is visible. But easy to repair/maintain because its MARUTI.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are upto the mark as per the price. Comparison could be done with VW Trendline Diesel/Linea. Linea is always a beauty for features.

Space is enough and car is wide enough to feel the sedan, long drives are more comfortable with space offered. All seats are wide enough to drive comfortably. space besides clutch is good.

Comfort AC is powerful enough, steering is good though cant compare with Toyota. Drove 250 KM without stopping engine in one strech, and i was fresh enough after stopping. Power provided 90BHP with 1.3 Lt engine gives more comfort to press accelerator hard enough. gear nob is funtastic. Missing rear AC vents, front arm rest.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine Performance is upto the mark, worth to buy to feel the power. any petrol version upto 1.8 Lt Engine not even near by to SX4 diesel to feel the power. Top speed may be higher in petrol cars or VW Vento diesel higher engine. BUT TURBO IS FaNTASTIC. before making any comment on MARUTI you must feel that boost.

Most of ppl have misunderstanding Swift/Dzire & SX4 have same power.

NO its not

swift /Dzire = Power: 75PS@4000rpm, 190Nm@2000rpm, 158kph top speed

SX4= 90PS@4000rpm, 200Nm@1750rpm with NEW VGT [Variable geometry turbocharger]

Fuel economy : approx - 18-20.5KM/Lt with AC, drove 700 KM in total, 400KM at high speed on NH4, 300 KM city driving. I'm sure will get 22+ for city+long driving if you drive max 80KM/H.

Gear box is good enough, provides easy shifting, smooth transition [ dont compare with honda cars].

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is very nice & handling is 100%.

 

Final Words Woth to buy, value for money. If you want economy, less maintenance, easy maintenance, less price with more features along with more KM/Lt this car is for you. Its big so buy if you can handle big cars. On the road you cant ignore SX4, love it or hate it. Sturdy enough to experience on bad road, i personally dont care where m i driving [within warranty :)].

Finally, this is not a show piece, enjoy yourself what you pay for rather than what spectators on the road are saying.

 

Areas of improvement Interior color combination, front arm rest, multifunction display like i20, and of course parking assist.
