Things to Know if Considering Buying a Used Suzuki SX4

The Suzuki SX4 is a car appreciated for its reliability and practicality: here are the essential things to know before buying a used one. Maintenance is easy and economical, as demonstrated in the video: air filter, battery, and front bulbs are designed to be replaced without tools or with very simple interventions.

Ideal for those who want to perform minor maintenance themselves or keep workshop costs low. The engines (especially the 1.6 petrol 4-cylinder) are simple and long-lasting; the mechanics are proven and parts are affordable.

It is a compact crossover with a high driving position, good visibility, and spacious interiors. Running costs are low. However, there are also things to keep an eye on: replacing the rear bulbs is inconvenient; it requires tools and some force, so check that they work perfectly.

The oil dipstick is low down and the radiator drain plug is in an awkward position, so check the service history. The interiors are quite basic and made of hard plastics.

Therefore, if you are looking for top-notch quietness, do not buy it. The 1.6 petrol 115hp is the most common and reliable but is not very lively; the 1.6 diesel 120hp is very economical but is not recommended for those who predominantly drive in the city due to typical diesel issues.

If all-wheel drive is present (and the car has many miles), check that maintenance has been performed on the differential and transmission components.
