Suzuki Liana 2001 vs BMW 1 series 2004
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Petrol | 2.0 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Suzuki Liana) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (BMW 1 series) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

| Power: | 103 HP | 163 HP | |
| Torque: | 144 NM | 340 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 11.7 seconds | 7.9 seconds | |
|
BMW 1 series is a more dynamic driving. Suzuki Liana engine produces 60 HP less power than BMW 1 series, whereas torque is 196 NM less than BMW 1 series. Due to the lower power, Suzuki Liana reaches 100 km/h speed 3.8 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 7.1 | 5.7 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 7.9 l/100km | 6.5 l/100km | |
|
The BMW 1 series is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Suzuki Liana consumes 1.4 litres more fuel per 100 km than the BMW 1 series, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Suzuki Liana could require 210 litres more fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, Suzuki Liana consumes 1.4 litres more fuel per 100 km than the BMW 1 series. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Suzuki Liana) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (BMW 1 series) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Engine production duration: | 24 years | 9 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 4 other car models, including Suzuki Grand Vitara, Suzuki Swift, Suzuki SX4, Suzuki Vitara | Used also on BMW 3 sērija | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Suzuki Liana might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The BMW 1 series 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. | |||
| Suzuki Liana 2001 1.6 engine: A simple and robust engine, not particularly demanding in terms of fuel quality.
High engine timing chain lifetime.
Tends to increase oil consumption, head gasket failures may occur. | |||
