2009 Suzuki SX4 4-door Hatchback

The 2009 Suzuki SX4 Crossover offers active-lifestylers a practical, comfortable and affordable front or all-wheel-drive utility vehicle with impressive looks and loads of features. Its unit-body design shares key engineering elements with the Swift – a popular Suzuki model currently sold only in Europe and Asia – and therefore endows this versatile five-door hatchback with some car-like characteristics. The well-appointed SX4 Crossover has a terrific warranty and merits serious consideration from anyone shopping for either a space-efficient front-drive hatchback, such as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa or Scion xB, or a true all-wheel-drive crossover utility vehicle, such as the Jeep Compass or Nissan Rogue.

If you were a big fan of the old Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla all-wheel-drive wagons of the early '90s, you'll love the 2009 SX4 Crossover.	The SX4 Crossover's ride-oriented suspension tuning and leisurely acceleration won't score many points with enthusiast drivers, and while it mimics the concept of the early '90s Civic and Corolla wagon, its resale value does not.

For 2009, the SX4 Crossover gains a built-in Garmin navigation unit and Electronic Stability Control with traction control (ESP) as standard equipment.
