The 2013 Suzuki SX4 is a practical match for someone seeking a front-wheel-drive subcompact car and who can work within a 25 combined MPG rating. Highway trips should return better economy than city errands, but the listed $2,700 annual fuel cost still matters when planning ownership. Its gasoline engine, automatic variable-ratio transmission and 345 grams per mile of tailpipe CO2 define the trade-off. Consider it when those numbers fit your routes and budget, rather than expecting one economy figure in every kind of driving.
What it is
The 2013 Suzuki SX4 is a car in the EPA subcompact class. It runs on gasoline and sends power to the front wheels.
Its powertrain pairs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an automatic transmission using variable gear ratios.
The numbers
The defining figure is 25 combined MPG. That combines the SX4's 23 MPG city rating and 29 MPG highway rating.
A driver focused on highway miles gets the higher 29 MPG figure, while city driving uses the lower 23 MPG figure.
What it costs to run
The listed annual fuel cost is $2,700. Tailpipe carbon dioxide is rated at 345 grams per mile.
Your actual spending changes with miles driven, gasoline prices and how much of your driving is in town or on the highway.
How it compares
The SX4's comparison point here is the subcompact-car class: 25 combined MPG, 23 city and 29 highway. No other model figures are provided for a direct side-by-side.
Who it suits
This SX4 suits a driver who wants a gasoline subcompact car with front-wheel drive and a straightforward automatic transmission.
It makes the most sense when your expectations fit its 25 combined MPG rating and its split between city and highway economy.
Trade-offs
The 29 MPG highway rating is 6 MPG higher than the 23 MPG city rating, so urban driving is less economical than open-road driving.
The car uses front-wheel drive, and its tailpipe CO2 rating is 345 grams per mile.
Verdict
Choose the 2013 Suzuki SX4 if a subcompact gasoline car with front-wheel drive fits your daily routes. The 25 combined MPG figure gives you a clear baseline, while the 23 city and 29 highway ratings show how route type changes economy. The $2,700 listed annual fuel cost makes fuel budgeting important. Its automatic variable-ratio transmission keeps the setup simple, but buyers should accept the gasoline drivetrain and the 345-gram-per-mile tailpipe CO2 rating.
