The Suzuki SX4 - a small SUV like all-wheel drive
If you are looking
for a fuel-efficient
all-wheel drive
subcompact SUV
at a reasonable
price, the Suzuki
SX4 might be the
vehicle for you!
Cars.com
describes the
SX4 as a nimble
and utilitarian
drive with a quiet
high-quality interior and supportive seats. The WashingtonPost.com
states that the SX4 is zippy when driven around town and agile to avoid
trucks and larger vehicles. Additionally, The Post describes this all-wheel
drive as rather classy looking and likely the best designed and built
vehicle Suzuki has brought to America.
A downside to the SX4 is its short wheelbase which can result in a
somewhat choppy ride when it is driven over rough pavement.
Specifications for this all-wheel drive include:
