Suzuki SX4 S-Cross SUV 2014 review - Carbuyer

[@ORizwani]

I bought the 1.6 petrol in 2016; paid £11500 for it brand new when they were clearing out stock. 5 years later I’ve still got the vehicle, 85000 miles later and I average 47mpg. It’s a joy to drive as the suspension is firm and handles beautifully; better than some sport versions of some manufacturers. Gearstick is super slick and it’s great on a country road. If you’re looking for a used one go for an SZ-T 1.6 petrol manual and you won’t be disappointed

[@Draxtler12]

also upgrade turbo you get 200hp 420nm torque

[@dkpirie]

You say it isn't good looking, but I think it is very good looking, and way better than the Skoda you recommend for just the extra headroom in the back.

[@ablanuza76]

Del Mac i like the styling too. How a car looks to the potential buyer is a personal matter so i usually don't listen to any reviewers opinion on "looks". It's like some people like how the nissan juke is designed, but personally i find it hideous.

[@vorong2ru]

yeah yeti is UGLY, sx4 is not amazing, but fine looking

[@KlabauterManiac]

I think this car looks beautiful.

[@larscp]

Very beautiful car indeed

[@LionheartSJZ]

I'd love to see that bumpy part of the road in an S-class :D

[@accountnumber90]

Suzuki was juuuuuuuuust starting to offer some interesting cars here in the U.S. before they pulled out. It's interesting to see what could have been.

[@wparo]

"the diesel will be quicker in gear"?? I don't know about your cars but mine needs to be in gear to move

[@spiloFTW]

i believe he means in a higher gear then 1-3

[@Lionn8563]

@@spiloFTW or maybie hes saying that you dont need to downshift so much, or maybie that the petrol is quicker off the line

[@yin8838]

He means diesel is more engaging when changing gears and more torque so the car wouldn’t be sluggish.

[@batulaut]

It looks fine to me, the new SX-4 S-Cross.

[@clarkkent123321]

I think it would be more useful to quote MPG figures that are actually achievable and not the ones quoted by the manufacturer who have tested it on a rolling road.

[@jaroslavlutsin692]

Thanks Mat, I'm a little bored with Golfs, Focuses and other "popular" cars. I wanted to check out a review of something from Suzuki and you guys did it.

[@martinbenford3442]

Suzuki SX4 S-Cross Excellent

[@GrahamReid34]

Did you record this on your mobile phone Mat?

[@lcar4000]

Wish we had it in the US so I could replace my 12 SX4

[@TheSuzukinutt]

75.000km on the clock no complaintes whatsoever , can not whait 4 the new one !!

[@CAPS_AMERICA]

Great review as usual, but you forgot to mention the fuel efficiency and driving position?

[@superwelder24]

How do you find electric steering on the motorway? Because to me I can't steer with one hand as it is too stiff

[@MajorSpam]

When is a review for the new model coming?

[@peyeum]

Ride and driving quality wise, which one do you prefer; the old or new SX-4? As for looks, to me old one is better looking since it was designed by Italdesign :)

[@nononsense2247]

I will always buy an S Cross or any Suzuki car purely for reliability.. I know that the swift. baleno. Ignis. Etc are ugly cars but sometimes you need to take into consideration the solidity of a car.. And i don't know other manufacturers better than suzuki in terms of price Vs quality

[@alandavies1054]

I agree about the reliability 100%. A while ago we had a Celerio as a second car and it was great. Sometimes it would sit outside in winter for 3 or 4 weeks and not be used but when you did use it…it started on the first flick of the key every time. Suzuki are very underrated 👍

[@georgiminkov2298]

Mat, Can you review the new S-Csross 2017? Interested to heat your opinion. Thanks in advance.

[@Superdsheppard]

Put it this way, It's better than a Dacia Duster.

[@irGuilty]

For what's you're getting its an excellent suv but people are willing to pay extra just for a more desirable badge

[@joeb2588]

Oh Suzuki. If you only cared about the America market. If you only tried. Even a little like hyundai and Kia tried. I could be driving my SX4, or Kazashi.

[@veronicam.9396]

joe b excuse me, when you say America, are you talking about USA? Cause we have the sx4 s-cross available in Panama. (I'm asking seriously, not trying to make a joke or anything)

[@jonathanschiller3129]

+Veronica M. unfortunately he does mean usa. Our market doesn't appreciate cars like this too much, Subaru has finally started to grow in this market after years of making fantastic cars. He is right, if Suzuki tried they could make it. The last sx4 we had was in 2010 and it was much cheaper feeling. this 2014 UK model is fresh and refined

[@veronicam.9396]

+Jonathan Schiller I got my S-Cross about a month ago, working fine till now. The roof is not so low as said in this video "BECAUSE" I bought the model without sunroof. The engine is a bit noisy, but as I said, till now is working fine. I'll keep you updated, but I honestly feel that my previous car (Suzuki Ignis) was a lot better when I bought it.

[@Boujai12]

Nice to see new Suzuki products.....even though here in the US they bailed. I wish they at least tried to make it here....I really liked their auto's. (the actual Suzuki's not re-badged Daewoo's.)

[@diamond3838]

The 1st generation looked much better than this generation on the exterior but the interior it looks much more beautiful than the first generation.

[@HesteBremse]

A good car apparently, though for looks I would take the Nissan and for practicality and value I would take the Yeti. Never the less not a bad contender from Suzuki, surprised that it drives so well. For looks the front is bothering me - it suffers from way too big headlamps and overall just looks heavy. Good Review thanks ;)

[@mjolnir_swe]

Well the exterior looks is definetely not a weak spot for this car.

[@skylineXpert]

When do we get to see the grand vitara review?

[@Marciaus007]

Extra grip on summer tyres?

[@EdibleCoolman75]

Nice review. Could you reveiw The new Mercedes-benz CLA ?

[@abinlukasabraham]

anything is better looking than yeti

[@mctwain5319]

Great car we miss it in USA

[@darksidenoajr.]

Heisei last comment!!!!! from JAPAN!!!

[@SquareoftheyearFM]

You seem a little down Matt?

[@arabianlad]

Would you please do the Mercedes cla 45 :)

[@mustsilm]

Check your wallet Mat, pocket is open.

[@tocateur]

This colour would even make a ferrari look bad...

[@mg1079]

where is test of the new one Mat?!

[@ShaksAutos]

Mazda CX-7 review please!!

[@Josh4117]

If Suzuki improves interior design I might consider

[@emjayay]

What the heck is that bumpy road anyway?

[@ObesePuppies]

i hate how these reviews always bitch about cars cutting down or cutting corners. This car is cheap and its worth it for the money

[@krhrulz1385]

Review the honda oddesey

[@zenfox1979]

compares its looks with the yeti ! the yeti is a munter.

[@benjaminshtark5977]

its interesting, but according to manufacturer, the MPG on this car is better than on suzuki swift, which is supposed to be more economical.. go figure

[@ljubojankovic8220]

Benjamin Shtark with same engine? Where did you read that?

[@benjaminshtark5977]

***** well, not sure about engine, but i know that SX4 crossover has better transission which lead to better fuel consumption..

[@chidambu9]

The first suzuki which is having a panamaric Sun roof

[@R3nchi]

dude talking about firm ride, try my mazda 2 2008..

[@HB45175]

Hello again aftermarket satnav unit.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Out of date review. Jump to 2018 and the best engine is the 1 litre boosterjet 3 cylinder. Forget diesels unless you really need a heavy 4x4 such as a Landcruiser or the new Shogun Sport.

[@notagamer706]

I just bought an S-Cross with 1,0 boosterjet ! Is great, surprinzingly nippy, economic si relatively quiet !

[@ZoryaDanis]

Fake leather on the shifting gear handle is already fell apart.

[@ewangregorystvradiocapture9963]

Second Comment

[@jonnyedge7094]

All out of proportion.

[@harjasgulati984]

This 2014 has more features than the 2020 one .Lol Suzuki India

[@aranapereiraalvaromauricio6939]

Matt Watson from carwow LOL

[@jgrav1205]

The headlights are too big! They ruin the look of the car. The front end and rear end look like they have been grafted from 2 different cars. Sort that front end out Suzuki !!

[@NZsarge1]

Cheap? Fair enough but... no thanks.

[@Mr11ESSE111]

Nissan Quashqai looks better about 15678 times more than this box on 4 wheels

[@AristotelisMitsiou]

the koushkash is better than a sx4?

[@LeoErba]

The automatic transmission is garbage.

[@u4297762]

The old sx-4 seems better.

[@sawwii281095]

LOL

[@gile2010]

Plastic inside the cabin looks very cheap and hard

[@andylie7699]

Its soft touch on the dashboard

[@gile2010]

It is my impression based on the video. I have never actually set in this car. I set in the previous generation SX4 and I wasn't satisfied with the interior quality.

[@andylie7699]

Ok

[@hemmay]

gile2010 Sit not set..

[@AboeLuqmaan]

Dear Carbuyer, I'm beginning to find the reviews really dull and boring. Every vid is exactly the same routine. Its like you have a standard text where you leave the carname blank. Please do something new and refreshing. Thank you

[@hemmay]

Yes and Mat tries to make out he's 5ft 11ins tall in most of them but obviously he is nowhere near that.

[@nycmaverick]

I like the girl reviewer much better

[@undergroundlegend198]

My first boring review to watch from carbuyer

[@lochlanarnold323]

13th

[@KenjiMiller]

ugly car + ugly color

[@harryc266]

You know you've failed in life if your driving this

[@zororat]

Lol cruel. Depends on your perception. A BMW for example is statistically far more likely to break down, I would feel like a failure if I bought a bm.. and broke down having known this

[@KOL630]

If you judge people based on the car they drive this says more about your own insecurities than the ‘success’ of others.

[@grantkidd4142]

Terrible looking car, and that color!
