Maruti Suzuki SX4 User Reviews

 

Exterior Good size and attractive looks.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfortable seats though comapred to outer size inner space is much less, good aesthetics, could have better dashboard, absence of bluetooth is disturbing.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Wonderful test drive I had, very smooth slightly better than Honda City & far better than Hyundai Verna & Fiat Linea. The paddle shift and manual gear shift both were extremely comfortable and as smooth as in an auto transmission car. good pick up and very good and instant controls. Even comfortable in very crowded areas. Easy turning in spite of size.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride & smooth handling, loved it after the test drive for 20 odd km.

 

Final Words Must buy far better in comparison to Honda City, Hyundai Verna & Fiat Linea; at least in terms of Price VS performance. Great impressive looks. Well manageable big enough size  on garbage ridden crowded Indian cities with narrow roads & uncontrolled traffic. Booked already after pondering and research over all the competition. This is a clear winner accross classes!

 

Areas of improvement Interior space styling, dashboard, bluetooth a must.

 

Looks, size, ground clearance, elegance, height, seats, servicerear leg room, dashboard styling.

 

I have been a very Maruti Loyal for the past n number of years. I have been instrumental in purchasing atleast 5 cars from Maruti since the past 8 years. This time I had to decide between a Vento and a SX4. My preference was SX4 since I was getting a fully loaded car in the amount of the base model of a Vento. I approached the dealer AutoVista whom I had given a business of 4 cars in the past 2 years. I made an offer of 3 cars outright purchase (group) and asked them to negotiate. There was no follow up from their side as if Maruti is not interested in doing business. Since it was my need, I followed up several time. They sent an invoice for ZXi variant of Rs 8,36,000 to which I made a contra offer of Rs 8,30,000. To my surprise, they send me another invoice after 1 week mentioning the rate of Rs 8,50,000. I sent an email to Maruti Suzuki, however there was no response from that front. I think they are IT challenged.

I have never seen such unprofessional and poor customer care from a brand like Maruti. One thing for sure though, this was my last dealing with the company. Suggest you guys to consider other brands, Martui Suzuki has lost its charm in India.

 

Excellent Car, Value for MoneyDealers, Not interested in selling cars

 

I have been waiting to have a look at this mean machine since I saw that in an Auto magazine about 8 months ago. When I saw that the day it was launched, I was literally amazed. I thought of going for a A4 vehicle later this year.After just looking at it I had changed my mind 50%. Then after the test drive,I decided to go for it atonce.As soon as I finished the test drive I booked it and early next week I'll be a proud owner of the "Man Machine SX4". Compare it with any car in the catagory A3 and A4. Nothing comes near to it. Only the difference of this and A4 segment is 1800 cc and the SX4 is a 1600 cc.Even that doesn't make much of a difference as everyone knows the Indian road conditions.No one can cruise above 100 or 120 Kmph continously for more than a few minutes. I did a comparitive study of length,width,height,weight,wheel base,bhp,torque etc with the Fiesta, Verna,Aveo,Optra,City,Renault,Accent in. The Drive By Wire and the M series Engine are all you can never expect in a A3 segment car. The Dual airbags, ABS and EBD, In dash Mp3 player with 6 speakers, iCATS technology security system,Steering audio controls,Climate control A/C,and the 16" 205 sized Alloy and tyres are some to be specially mentioned as great features of the SX4. To conclude it is an " ".

 

good stylei like

 

Exterior Nice satiny finish, great quality metallic paint.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Comfy plush seats, good music system. Enough legroom in front/rear seats. Huge boot, mine takes two golf sets with trolleys! It feels like a high-end car as far as comfort is concerned. Runs over speed-breakers without bumping much.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Quiet efficient engine, powerful, but a little greedy on petrol. I get an average of 11 km/l driving in Delhi with A/C. I haven't done longer runs yet, so I can't tell if it'll substantially improve then.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Smooth handling, great power brakes.

 

Final Words I really like this car. For a little over Rs 7 lakhs, I've got a car almost in the Honda City bracket in terms of performance and looks. Good smooth pickup, powerful brakes, high level of comfort for the driver and passengers.

 

Areas of improvement The reversing sensor should be supplied as standard - I had to buy mine - it's really needed as it's a high-back car.

 

I love the stylish looks, the acceleration of the engine, the effective A/CDifficulty in viewing the back while reversing

 

Exterior Very good exterior. Only problem is right side piller (near rigt side mirror).

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good Interior. Needs to improve on plastics used inside. Sitting comfort is very good. U feel like sitting on SOFA on rear seat.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Low pick up hence need to take care while overtaking on highways. Fule economy is not good in ZXi as it gives only 10 to 11 KMPL. Maruti needs to improve in fule economy as petrol prices are going up day by day.

 

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is good. Need to increase pickup. Also if we go above 100 we do not feel safe inside. Right side piller near right mirror obstacles while taking right turn. Reversing is problem and need to take special care while reversing. Maruti should provide reverse camera and Blue tooh.

 

Final Words One can buy this car as it is value for money.

 

Areas of improvement Need 1600 cc engine for Disel version. Also needs to improve on power in Zxi version.

Good style and very good lumber supportFuel economy, Suspension

 

Exterior Its amazing with sucha  bouncy looking Car. Perfect height, Shape , amazing boot space 505 ltrs. Night lamps. looks are much Macho like some Armani Exp Purfume bottle is not sexy but the purfume is, same applied to SX4.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good dashboad, feels like in cockpit of Airplane, comfortable staring, gear box is fitted at right place, music sys is good. I drove 25km and found it a pleasure.My wife was totally amazed with car power, smoothness ..thanks to good shockers. Space in front is suff for driver and front seater. good space and legroom Feels like u r in SUV. at back some 3 perosn of 80KG + can sit comfortably. Comforta nd security this car fas ahead with verna & Vento.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is 1238CC, powerful, fast pick up within 3 seconds i ws @ 40km. Fuel eco I heard is of 21km. bad to bad case 18km in city area. Once SX$ is on Roak, HOnmda ia kId, Verna Loks Wanan Be Hondacity/ Civic. Feista is outdated and Vento is more money less features.Indians fooled by VW this time. Gearbox is very smooth and comfortable< i had no problem to drive.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride was royal, felt Macho and also feel that car is not taking up more of Diesel. Handling was amazing, i never felt as I am havinga test drive. It was a fun drive and smooth, no shockers as I feel in my wagor R. Speedbreakers were like a formality on road.

Final Words Best buy, go for any version of VDi ista value for moeny. No otehr car give u so much. Verna Fluidic is a nothing, what I compare with.Best pasrt is fuel eco. and rear seats. Big boot and ground clearance.

Areas of improvement More optons in colros like Cruize.

Power, Comfort Safety, Style..Full valueNone

 

Exterior I love the looks from back it looks great, side looks are beautiful too,the length is a little extra than other sedans of its class which makes it more beautiful and I can say just one thing buy silver and even if u remove suzuki logo and put Benz logo the car would be fit for that too, totally I love it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It feel like you are driving some big SUV, and feel very safe, and interiors are so beautiful the gray dashboard I love it  ( black is common) AC is powerful when you set to 25 within 5 min ur hands will feel numm because of the cold, and music system is good too no need of external woofers etc, just install rear view camera by paying 6 k extra.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have done 8500 kms in 5 months no complaints. The engine feels good and smooth from inside but when windows are open I feel the the engine is noisey, I reached a top speed of 170 kmph,milage is little less I always use AC its around 13 kmpl but I really dont know how much it is exactly I dont know how to calculate it plz suggest, the grear box is very smooth I just place my hand on the gear and push it and it shifts but sometimes it gets crampy and some times reverse gear is not easy to go into but when u have to shift from second gear to third just push the lever with one finger and again push up and it goes to third and same way for fourth it is that smooth. I love everything about it.

Ride Quality & Handling The stearing is accurate, and ride quality is superb just drive smooth and slow dont drive it like SUV drive it like a smooth sedan.

Final Words Totally and finally I love it a lot, I have more than 20 scratches and whole lower portion of front rear and side skirtings have scratches I suppose if they could do something with it like making it more taller so that it works out good for indian roads.

Areas of improvement Second gear is not that powerful should do something about it, ground clearance is low with kit should work on it too, visiblility at A coloumn and milage.

Looks with kit, pickup,driving comfort,boot(504 lts),dashboard is classy gray in colour.Ground clearence bad with kit, low fule efficiency, and A coloum, and rear view while reverse

Exterior: Very Good looks, Good tall boy appearance, When you park your vehicle near other cars SX4 looks very tall and bold. Good Quality Paint used. I have purchased Metallic Glistening Grey Colour. 10 Spoke alloy wheels looks very good. 

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Good Quality Stereo. Twitter effect is good, USB response is good. Missing Bluetooth connectivity but I have purchased external bluetooth unit and it works well if connected to cigarette lighter point. 

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox: Engine very smooth and pick up is great. Performance very good and gearbox is smooth and very responsive.

 

Ride Quality & Handling: Ride quality is superb and handling is like cake walk.

 

Final Words: My Car is SX4 ZXi (BSIV) with VVT Engine. I booked the car on 27/12/2011 and got it delivered on 29/12/2011. I am very happy that I selected this car as I am totally satisfied with everything in this car. But I miss the indicator lights on the ORVMs, electrical closing of ORVMs and Multiple digital information in the dash board but Nevertheless I am happy with what is offered. The points missing are not very serious but performance wise this vehicle is topnotch. I was given freebees like Transparent floor mats, Rear Parking Sensors, Full body cover, Boot mat, Car Perfume, Leather Steering Cover, Number Plates.

 

Areas of improvement: Quality of tyres - makes lots of noise. Should have given low fuel indicator, Multiple digital display of fuel in dashboard. A pillar blackout. Rear view.  

 

 

Good Appearance, Good Quality Paint, Good features, Good Pickup, Plenty of SpaceA Pillar Blindness

Exterior I like the looks of the car when it stands near any car. she tall and man among the cars.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are good and practically acceptable. Space is good and 5 people can sit comfortably.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 1.3 lit. engine is state of art. it is very silent and also powerful, VGT is amazing. Fuel economy is good. The odo of my car shows 1100 kms and it gives me 17 km/lit before first service. The gearbox smooth and as usual maruti cars need little effort to slot reverse gear.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride is composed upto 100-120 km/hr speed. I didn't go beyond this speed. The handling is superb but need to careful till you get to used with A-pillar which obstructs when you take right turn. But once you get to use to the A-pillar then you can throw the car at any corner/turns without problem with confidence. I am driving my car in hilly areas at the speed of 60-80 km/hr.

Final Words This is allrounder car. If you want to drive car not beyond 120 km/hr speed need complete family package then this is the car for you. This car will never let you down in power front as compared to any cars.

Areas of improvement Interiors should have been more up-market. Maruti dealership in small towns.

GOOD POWER, FUEL ECONOMY, VERY GOOD SPACEINTERIOR SHOULD HAVE UP MORE UPMARKET
