When Jeremy Clarkson boomed about cars, little did he know that the saga of the Suzuki SX4's boot space would echo in the hallowed halls of vehicular comparison like a Viking's war cry. This plucky contender, a beacon of practicality in the Suzuki lineup, has undergone a facelift not just in looks but in the size of its boot space as well. Initially, Suzuki handed us a rather modest offering; however, as the generations progressed, the SX4 became less of a city car's boot and more of a knight's steed's carry-on capacity.
Suzuki SX4 - How has the boot space changed over the generations?
Speaking of evolution, the jump from the first generation (2006-2010 and its facelift version 2009-2014) to the second (2013-2017) and its facelift (2016-2021), was like trading a hatchback for a treasure chest. The original SX4's boot space was a mere 270 liters, the kind of size that would barely fit the loot of a small-time pirate. But then, as if by magic (or perhaps engineering), the second generation burgeoned up to a chest-swelling 430 liters. If you had the arduous task of folding rear seats (a feat not technically possible in the pure 2013-2017 version), you'd be looking at a cavernous 1269 liters with the facelift. It's like Suzuki waved a wand and turned the boot from a teacup into a cauldron.

The boot space compared to other Suzuki models
But how does this spellbinding transformation compare within the Suzuki cult? Well, the SX4 certainly doesn't play second fiddle to many. The pint-sized Suzuki Jimny is almost comical with its 85 liters – barely enough for your potions and spellbooks. Even the Ignis, Swift, and Swift Sport muster only 260-265 liters, making the SX4 look like the roomy castle hall. However, the SX4 doesn't wear the crown in the Suzuki kingdom; that honor goes to the likes of the Suzuki Across and Swace, with their 490 and 596-liter capacities, respectively. Yet, in the realm of practicality and space, the SX4 proudly holds its ground with a boot space that rivals that of a knight's banquet.

How does the boot space of the Suzuki SX4 compare to it's nearest competitors?
Now, let your imagination wander to the lands beyond Suzuki, where beasts like the Infiniti Q30 and Borgward BX7 roam. Against the likes of these, the SX4's boot space might seem like David against Goliath. The Infiniti Q30 mirrors the SX4 with a 430-liter capacity, standing as an equal adversary. But then, enter the Borgward BX7 with its 545 liters, DS Automobiles DS 7 with 555, and the mightiest blow from the Cadillac XT5 at a whopping 850 liters. Comparatively, the SX4's boot space might seem modest, but when measuring valiance in the battlefield of the city streets, it's the cunning and agility of the SX4, enhanced by its sizeable boot, that enables it to dodge, weave, and ultimately, emerge as the beloved compact warrior, striking a fine balance between dimension and utility.
