Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The 2010 Suzuki SX4 is described as having a sleek enough design to get a second look from passersby, but perhaps not eye-catching enough to close the deal with shoppers.

• "It's kind of an -- interesting -- looking car. It's got a large, upright windshield; big side windows; and a very tall "greenhouse" (to use an auto-critic word) sitting on top of a disproportionally small body. I built several cars like this out of my Lego bricks when I was a kid. They weren't ugly, but they weren't like anything that was driving on the road. Neither is the SportBack." -- Cars.com
• "An aerodynamic kit, a unique grille treatment, and deleted roof rack add to the racier look, lending the five-door SportBack a more athletic stance. We especially like the rally-esque hatch spoiler." -- Motor Trend
• "All in all, we found both body styles to be pleasing, though not swoopy or cutting edge. Neither car looks like it's too small, and they both have a modern stance." -- New Car Test Drive
• "Suzuki claims the SX4 Sport's front-end was inspired by a traditional Japanese Kabuki mask but, beyond a few bolder creases in its unique soft fascia and revamped grille openings, the headlights, hood and fenders are all identical to the SX4 crossover." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "The SX4 is cute as a bug's ear. Looking through my zoomed-out camera lens -- which makes the SX4 appear even shorter than it is -- I had to chuckle at the car's dimensions, with its tall cabin hemmed in by an abbreviated hood and trunk. It looks like something out of a cartoon -- a normal car that got squashed between a couple of semis." -- About.com
