Suzuki SX4 vs. Volkswagen GTI Review

Utility
The Suzuki and the Volkswagen GTI can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, the Volkswagen GTI packs quite a wallop and will knock the SX4 down a few rungs. On the flip side, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
The Volkswagen is tremendously more bulky than the SX4. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Volkswagen GTI than the SX4 because of its bigger tank. The Suzuki SX4 and the Volkswagen compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
You'll definitely have to take the Suzuki SX4 for a fill-up more often than the GTI because of its tank size and fuel economy.

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 Volkswagen GTI. The Suzuki SX4 doesn't pale in comparison to the Volkswagen with respect to fuel economy. Regarding MSRP, the Volkswagen GTI costs significantly more than the SX4.

Handling
With their similar turning radiuses, the Suzuki SX4 and the Volkswagen GTI quite certainly handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Volkswagen GTI's engine is a tad smaller than the Suzuki SX4's, but not terribly so. Torque equals pickup, and the Volkswagen will have picked up and gone by the time the Suzuki SX4 finally gets moving. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Volkswagen GTI is considerably more powerful than the Suzuki SX4.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Suzuki SX4 offers a bit more head room than the Volkswagen GTI, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The Volkswagen GTI is not particularly more spacious for your passengers than the SX4.

Overview
The Volkswagen GTI and the Suzuki SX4 have the same basic after-sale protection.
