Drivetrain

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Suzuki SX4 offers a bit more head room than the Honda CR-V, there really isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the CR-V make it more spacious for your passengers than the Suzuki SX4.

Dimensions
The Honda CR-V is significantly heavier than the Suzuki SX4. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Honda CR-V than the SX4 because of its bigger tank.
