| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Diesel | 1.6 Diesel | |
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |

Performance | |||
| Power: | 120 HP | 120 HP | |
| Torque: | 320 NM | 300 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 13 seconds | 10.1 seconds | |
| Suzuki SX4 and Honda HR-V have the same engine power, but Suzuki SX4 torque is 20 NM more than Honda HR-V. Suzuki SX4 reaches 100 km/h speed 2.9 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 4.4 | 4.0 | |
|
The Honda HR-V is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Suzuki SX4 consumes 0.4 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Honda HR-V, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Suzuki SX4 could require 60 litres more fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 47 litres | 50 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 1060 km in combined cycle | 1250 km in combined cycle | |
| 1140 km on highway | 1310 km on highway | ||
| Honda HR-V gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||
Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Ground clearance: | 180 mm (7.1 inches) | 170 mm (6.7 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: | 5 years | 11 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: | yes | no | |
| 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. | |||
