Suzuki SX4 Towing Capacity Calculator

The maximum towing capacity of a Suzuki SX4 varies by model year, engine type, and transmission. Generally, it ranges from 1,200 kg (2,646 lbs) for unbraked trailers to 1,500 kg (3,307 lbs) for braked trailers when properly equipped. Always check your specific vehicle’s manual for exact specifications.

Passenger and cargo weight reduce your vehicle’s available towing capacity. The total weight of passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight must not exceed your vehicle’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Our calculator accounts for these factors to provide an accurate towing capacity estimate.

Braked trailers have their own braking system that activates when you apply your vehicle’s brakes, while unbraked trailers rely solely on your vehicle’s braking system. Braked trailers can typically be heavier because the additional braking power reduces strain on your vehicle’s brakes.

Towing on hilly or mountainous terrain puts additional strain on your engine, transmission, and brakes. For steep terrain, it’s recommended to reduce your towing weight by 10-20% to maintain safe operation and prevent overheating of critical components.

Essential towing equipment includes a proper hitch receiver rated for your trailer weight, safety chains, trailer lighting connection, and potentially a transmission cooler for automatic models. For trailers over certain weight limits (varies by country), electric trailer brakes may be required.
