The 2007 Suzuki Aerio sedan may suit value-conscious buyers in harsher climates -- in both Base and Premium trim, it's among the most affordable new all-wheel-drive cars on the market. However, its aging design and decided lack of refinement can't be overlooked. There are simply better choices for an affordable small sedan.

After several years on the market -- and despite advantages like a roomy cabin and available all-wheel drive -- the compact front-wheel-drive Suzuki Aerio has struggled to boost its popularity in the marketplace. If you ask us, it probably has something to do with the Aerio's mediocre design, and it can be viewed as a second- or even third-string specialty player in the econocar game.

For 2007, only the Aerio sedan marches on for one more year -- the previous Aerio SX wagon has been replaced by the new all-wheel-drive Suzuki SX4 five-door hatchback. On the positive side, the Aerio's distinctive, aerodynamic styling is geared to appeal to youthful customers. And because it's 3-4 inches taller than most vehicles in its class, the 2007 Suzuki Aerio offers a generous amount of headroom and interior volume for its size. Legroom and cargo space also match or exceed that of most competitors.
Unlike other manufacturers, Suzuki offers just one engine for its compact sedan -- a 2.3-liter inline four-cylinder that puts out 155 horsepower. It offers more motivation than most of the competition, delivering impressive get-up-and-go for a car at its price point. Underneath, however, are more trade-offs: The Aerio's suspension uses MacPherson struts at all four corners, but they don't seem up to controlling the car's considerable body roll due to its relatively high center of gravity. As a result, the Aerio's soft suspension offers a smooth enough ride for freeway commuters but makes the car a little uneasy to drive more aggressively when the road twists and turns.
As we see it, the question is this. Does a relatively low price tag, decent power and an optional AWD system justify the purchase of an Aerio sedan, particularly in its final model year? In such a hotly contested segment, we'd certainly suggest checking out other newer, more refined competitors before the 2007 Suzuki Aerio -- particularly if you're looking for all-around competence and don't require all-wheel-drive traction.
The 2007 Suzuki Aerio is offered as a surprisingly well-equipped four-door sedan in Base and Premium trim. Standard features on all include daytime running lights, a rear spoiler, automatic climate control, a six-speaker CD/MP3 stereo with steering-wheel controls, powered accessories, keyless entry, cruise control and an outside temperature readout. The Premium package adds an in-dash CD changer with seven-speaker sound, heated outside mirrors, variable-speed wipers and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
All Aerios are powered by a 2.3-liter inline-4 that's good for 155 horsepower and 152 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on front-drive Aerios and a four-speed automatic is optional; the available all-wheel-drive system is offered on both models, but is only paired with the automatic transmission. Fuel economy is below average for this class: EPA estimates are 25 mpg city/31 mpg highway with a manual transmission.
All Suzuki Aerios are equipped with front side-impact airbags and four-wheel antilock brakes. In government frontal crash tests conducted by the NHTSA, the 2007 Suzuki Aerio earned four out of five stars for its protection of the driver and three stars for the front passenger. In independent frontal-offset crash testing conducted by the IIHS, the Aerio earned a "Good" rating, the highest possible. In IIHS side-impact testing, however, the Aerio earned a "Poor" rating, the lowest.
Regardless of which transmission you choose, the torquey 155-hp four-banger makes the 2007 Suzuki Aerio sufficiently responsive for running errands around town or commuting. Although the Aerio provides a soft, smooth ride on the highway, there's a penalty to be paid: excessive body roll around corners, exacerbated by the car's relatively tall, tippy stance. Opting for all-wheel drive settles things down with a touch more stability under power, and also extends the Aerio's reach through all four seasons. In our opinion, that's one of the only reasons for considering an Aerio.
Because of its height advantage, the Suzuki Aerio boasts a surprising amount of interior room for its size, and passengers will find getting in and out fairly easy. The Aerio sedan offers a generous 14.6 cubic feet of trunk space, too. Interior plastics quality and execution, unfortunately, are below average compared to the economy class leaders. A vastly improved analog gauge cluster carries over from last year, though, as do a couple of additional -- and badly needed -- storage areas.
The Aerio's 2.3-liter engine has 155 horsepower and earns an EPA fuel economy rating of 25 city/31 highway. The engine makes decent low-end power and is surprisingly smooth at highway speeds. The automatic does not detract much from performance, and does a good job of selecting a proper gear and not "hunting" with throttle changes. The five-speed manual feels equally at home in the Aerio, although you may find the shift throws to be a bit long. The Aerio's suspension gives a comfortable ride on par with this class, and interior sound levels remain fairly low.
Analog GaugesA nice set of analog gauges includes a tachometer.Low Lift-Over Trunk LipThe Aerio sedan's low lift-over trunk lip makes it easier to load large or heavy items into the trunk.
For an economy sedan, the level of fit, finish and content in the Aerio is truly impressive. The tall instrument panel features analog readouts, including a speedometer, tachometer, fuel and temperature gauges. The black cloth front seats are smartly styled and extremely comfortable, equipped with wide seat-bottom cushions and a fairly decent amount of lumbar support. Safety features include standard front-seat side-impact airbags, but there are no side-curtain airbags for the rear seat.
The Aerio's tall doors permit easy access and preclude the chance of bumping one's head while entering or exiting, while the deep trunk can swallow a hefty amount of luggage or groceries and can be expanded via the split-folding rear seat. Body-colored bumpers and side mirrors create an upscale appearance that belies the Aerio's low sticker price.
The front-wheel-drive Aerio sedan features a 2.3-liter engine, five-speed manual transmission, anti-lock brakes (ABS), automatic air conditioning, remote keyless entry, power windows, rear defroster, dual power mirrors, dual vanity mirrors, AM/FM stereo with CD/MP3, side-impact airbags, split folding rear seat, tilt wheel, remote trunk release, cruise control and full wheel covers. The Premium trim adds an automatic transmission, heated mirrors, an in-dash six-disc CD changer, leather-wrapped steering wheel and alloy wheels.
Options include a four-speed automatic transmission, heated side mirrors, alloy wheels and all-wheel drive.
The Aerio's 2.3-liter engine runs strong, but is not as smooth as the silky engines from Toyota and Mazda. There is enough torque to accommodate the all-wheel drive system, and it comes on just below 3000 rpm, which means you won't have to rev this engine high before you get any power - a problem that plagues many smaller four-cylinder powerplants.2.3-liter in-line 4155 horsepower @ 5400 rpm152 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3000 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 25/31 (FWD), 24/29 (AWD)
The front-wheel-drive Aerio sedan has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $ 14,894, while the all-wheel-drive version is $ 16,894 and a fully loaded Premium model will top out around $ 18,000. A look at the Fair Purchase Price shows the typical transaction price being paid for the Aerio in your area, so be sure to check it out. Also check the Incentives tab to see what further savings Suzuki is offering. Unfortunately, the Aerio does not hold its value as well as the Honda Civic, Mazda3 or Toyota Matrix. Kelley Blue Book expects the Aerio to retain only half its value after the first 24 months and under 35 percent by month 48.
