Safety

In addition to its seats, Suzuki needs to improve its crash-test ratings before it can receive top honors from this momma. The SX4 received only four stars out of five from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for frontal- and rear passenger side-impact crash tests. It did receive five stars in front seat side-impact crash tests. The SX4 scored a Good (the highest score) in frontal and side-impact crash tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It scored a Marginal in the IIHS’ rear crash tests.

The SX4 Crossover comes with electronic stability control, antilock brakes, all-wheel drive, dual-stage front airbags, side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags for both rows.

LIFESTAGE

Diapers: Parents with babies will want to make sure all their gear fits into the cargo area.
School: The space can get a little tight in the backseat, but two kids can sit there comfortably.
Teens: The SX4 would be a great first car for a teen.
