Vehicle report
2013 SUZUKI SX4
This model year
What the record shows
The 2013 Suzuki Sx4 is a subcompact car, and the 14th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2000 to 2014.
The EPA rated two configurations: a single 2-litre four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 25 mpg.
NHTSA's best overall crash rating for this model year is 4 out of five stars.
The federal record holds 14 owner complaints, 5 safety recalls and 4 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
