The Suzuki SX4 offers varying fuel consumption figures depending on model year, variant, and transmission type. For example, data from the UK market shows a typical average combined fuel economy of around 42.8 MPG (miles per gallon) across different trims, with some diesel models achieving up to 53.3 MPG combined and petrol/automatic models closer to 42.2 MPG combined[1].
Looking at U.S. specifications, the 2010–2011 Suzuki SX4 with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine typically delivers the following EPA fuel economy estimates:
- Manual transmission (sedan or sport): 26 MPG combined, 23 MPG city, 32–33 MPG highway[3].
- Automatic transmission (CVT): 26–28 MPG combined, 23–25 MPG city, 30–32 MPG highway[2][3].
- AWD versions generally get 25 MPG combined (about 22–23 city, 29–30 highway)[3][4].
Newer trims in European and UK markets can demonstrate higher efficiency, with commonly reported figures between 42 and 46 MPG combined for petrol engines, and over 53 MPG combined for diesel engines[1]. In U.S. testing, the numbers are generally in the mid-to-upper 20s MPG for combined city/highway driving, which is moderate for a compact car[2][3][4].
