Make way for the CVT
Gotta love that practicality
Extremely manoeuvrable, this SX4 also enjoys an adjustable cargo area that makes for a practical little car. With 1,218 litres, it’s similar to the Subaru Impreza. The trunk is a little less spacious than that of a Matrix or Lancer Sportback, but because of its wide opening, accommodating sill and 60/40 rear seats that fold completely down, its perfectly flat cargo area is distinctly more practical than the Nissan Versa’s.

Perhaps that’s why the SX4 has attracted a following of loyal fans. These buyers appreciate its cabin, capable of comfortably accommodating four adults and that can be transformed in the blink of an eye into a bicycle or lawn mower carrier, as well as its AWD capable of handling whatever Mother Nature throws their way. Loyal fans that, undoubtedly, don’t mind paying a little more at the pump in exchange for these capabilities.
