A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.

GLX 1.6 i 16V (103 Hp) 4WD Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

Performance Verdict

Adequate performance for daily driving, though the 4WD system adds weight, slightly dulling acceleration compared to FWD variants. Suitable for varied conditions.

Fuel Economy

Fuel consumption is acceptable for a 4WD compact sedan of its time, but higher than FWD versions, especially in urban settings.

Best Use Case: Mixed driving, especially in areas requiring all-weather traction or light off-road capability.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Spacious interior for its class, offering good passenger and cargo room.
  • • Generally reliable and durable, typical of Suzuki engineering.
  • • Affordable to buy and maintain, representing good value.
  • • Optional 4WD system provides enhanced traction and versatility.

Cons:

  • • Uninspired exterior and interior design, lacking modern flair.
  • • Modest performance across the engine lineup, not built for speed.
  • • Basic interior materials and features compared to some rivals.
  • • Safety features are limited by contemporary standards (3-star Euro NCAP).
