Suzuki SX4 2016 vs Opel Mokka 2016
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.6 Diesel | 1.6 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Suzuki SX4) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Opel Mokka) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles.

Performance | |||
| Power: | 120 HP | 115 HP | |
| Torque: | 320 NM | 155 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 13 seconds | 12.5 seconds | |
| Suzuki SX4 engine produces 5 HP more power than Opel Mokka, whereas torque is 165 NM more than Opel Mokka. Despite the higher power, Suzuki SX4 reaches 100 km/h speed 0.5 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 4.4 | 6.5 | |
|
The Suzuki SX4 is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Suzuki SX4 consumes 2.1 litres less fuel per 100 km than the Opel Mokka, which means that by driving the Suzuki SX4 over 15,000 km in a year you can save 315 litres of fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 47 litres | 53 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 1060 km in combined cycle | 810 km in combined cycle | |
| 1140 km on highway | 940 km on highway | ||
| Suzuki SX4 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) | 158 mm (6.2 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 | 420'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Opel Mokka engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 5 years | 17 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Used also on Opel Astra | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Opel Mokka 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. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 4.30 m | 4.28 m | |
| Width: | 1.79 m | 1.78 m | |
| Height: | 1.59 m | 1.66 m | |
|
Suzuki SX4 is larger, but lower. Suzuki SX4 is 3 cm longer than the Opel Mokka, width is practically the same , while the height of Suzuki SX4 is 7 cm lower. | |||
| Trunk capacity: | 430 litres | 356 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down |
1269 litres | 1372 litres | |
| Suzuki SX4 has 74 litres more trunk space than the Opel Mokka. The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in Opel Mokka (by 103 litres). | |||
| Turning diameter: | 10.4 meters | 11.5 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Suzuki SX4 is 1.1 metres less than that of the Opel Mokka, which means Suzuki SX4 can be easier to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Gross weight (kg): | 1`860 | 1`764 | |
| Safety: | no data | ||
| Quality: | above average | high | |
| Opel Mokka has fewer problems. According to annual technical inspection data Suzuki SX4 has serious deffects in 25 percent more cases than Opel Mokka, so Opel Mokka quality is probably significantly better | |||
