Honda HR-V 2015 vs Suzuki SX4 2016
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Diesel | 1.6 Diesel | |
| Camshaft drive: | Timing chain | Timing belt | |
| Engine chain usually needs to be replaced less often than the timing belt, but the cost of replacing the chain is usually higher. Chain motors are considered to be more reliable, but noisier and more vibration generating. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 120 HP | 120 HP | |
| Torque: | 300 NM | 320 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 10.1 seconds | 13 seconds | |
| Honda HR-V and Suzuki SX4 have the same engine power, but Honda HR-V torque is 20 NM less than Suzuki SX4. Honda HR-V reaches 100 km/h speed 2.9 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 4.0 | 4.4 | |
|
The Honda HR-V is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Honda HR-V consumes 0.4 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Suzuki SX4, which means that by driving the Honda HR-V over 15,000 km in a year you can save 60 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 50 litres | 47 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 1250 km in combined cycle | 1060 km in combined cycle | |
| 1310 km on highway | 1140 km on highway | ||
| Honda HR-V gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||
Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
| Ground clearance: | 170 mm (6.7 inches) | 180 mm (7.1 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Suzuki SX4 can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 350'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 12 years | 5 years | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Honda HR-V might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The Suzuki SX4 engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||

| Length: | 4.30 m | 4.30 m | |
| Width: | 1.77 m | 1.79 m | |
| Height: | 1.61 m | 1.59 m | |
