Price Range: $13,299 - $19,949

Performance
In terms of horsepower, the typical sedan packs quite a punch and will knock the Suzuki SX4 down a few rungs. However, bear in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Suzuki SX4 and the average sedan definitely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The average sedan has a more sizeable engine than the Suzuki SX4. Bear in mind that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. Torque equals pickup, and the average sedan will have picked up and gone by the time the Suzuki SX4 finally gets moving. The Suzuki SX4 could learn a lesson or two from the typical sedan when it comes to torque.

Utility
Neither the Suzuki SX4 nor the average sedan has a marked advantage regarding seating capacity.

Convenience
You most certainly won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the SX4 than with the average sedan, as both offer similar ranges.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Suzuki SX4 offers a bit more head room than the typical sedan, there really isn't much of a difference. While the rear of the Suzuki SX4 provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the average sedan, there frankly isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The average sedan is tremendously more bulky than the Suzuki SX4. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the average sedan than the Suzuki SX4 because of its larger tank. The SX4 fits in smaller parking spaces than the typical sedan. The typical sedan's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; however, the Suzuki SX4 may give a more maneuverable feel in daily traffic.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Suzuki SX4 to the dealership as the average sedan. The typical sedan pales in comparison to the Suzuki SX4 with respect to fuel economy. In terms of gas mileage, the SX4 has the average sedan beat. The average sedan is tremendously pricier than the Suzuki SX4 regarding MSRP.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Suzuki SX4 isn't quite as generous as the typical sedan's.
