Click to enlarge. 2007 Suzuki SX4 FAQs A good deal at around $16,000, the Suzuki SX4 is a strong competitor to the Dodge Caliber, Honda Fit, and Mazda 3.

What's the difference between the 2007 Suzuki SX4 and the Suzuki Aerio SX?
Both offer all-wheel-drive, but the SX4 offers it as standard on all models. Your base Aerio SX with all-wheel-drive starts at a sticker price of $16,499. According to Suzuki, you should be able to get a base SX4 for around $15,000. Both vehicles offer a fun driving experience, and about the same fuel economy, though the Aerio SX has about 12 more horsepower. The SX4 is far more stylish than the Aerio SX, though, which has been sort of a hidden gem thanks to its offbeat proportions.

I heard that the 2007 Suzuki SX4 is built in Hungary? Is that true?
Not for us – we get the cars assembled in Japan. But in Europe, the SX4 is made in Hungary and is also being rebadged as the Fiat Sedici.

Which is better, the Dodge Caliber or the 2007 Suzuki SX4?
Let's say you have $16,000 to spend. For that amount, and based on sticker prices, you can purchase an SX4 with all-wheel-drive or a Caliber SXT without, get about the same power, and lose out what may be a better handling car. So round one goes to Suzuki. If you have $20,000, you get an extra 30 horses from the Caliber R/T AWD compared to the SX4's top trim, the XSport.
