Suzuki SX4 vs. Kia Forte Koup Review

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Kia Forte Koup and the SX4 likely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Suzuki SX4 has no lessons to learn with respect to torque from the Kia Forte Koup.

Utility
Neither the Suzuki SX4 nor the Kia Forte Koup has a marked advantage when it comes to seating capacity.

Convenience
You will definitely have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Suzuki than with the Forte Koup.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Suzuki SX4 offers a bit more head room than the Kia Forte Koup, there really isn't much of a difference. The SX4 offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Kia Forte Koup does.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Kia Forte Koup than the Suzuki SX4 because of its larger tank. The Suzuki SX4 and the Kia Forte Koup compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Forte Koup to the dealership as the Suzuki SX4. Producing an exact fuel economy evaluation is so tricky that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though both the Kia Forte Koup and the Kia Forte Koup perform roughly similarly regarding gas mileage. With respect to MSRP, the Kia Forte Koup costs approximately as much as the Suzuki SX4 (though the Suzuki SX4 is slightly cheaper).

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Suzuki isn't quite as generous as the Kia Forte Koup's.
