2003 Suzuki Aerio
Two words could be used to sum up the new 2003 Suzuki Aerio. Room and
power. For a compact class automobile, the Aerio manages to pack in alot
of headroom and punch under the hood with seeming effortlessness. Try
over 40 inches of front seat legroom, and 36 inches in the back - more
than most other cars in its class. Also available this year is optional
all-wheel drive (AWD), again setting it apart from all other cars in its
class. Three more words: sporty, stylish, fun.
Available Models
There are two four-door models available to the Aerio consumer: the 2003
Suzuki Aerio Sedan, and the wagon/hatchback style Aerio-SX. The Sedan
further avails itself with two trim options: S and GS.
Interior Features
Inside both models, Sedan and SX, standard interior features include air
conditioning, power windows, power door locks, CD stereo system, tilt
steering wheel, and tachometer. In the Sedan you get a split-folding rear
seat, and under seat storage bin. In the SX, there's a fold flat split-folding
rear seat with cargo cover, and storage below seat and deck. Inside the
GS and SX trims you can find upgrades for cruise control, a 6-disc in-dash
CD player, height adjustable driver's seat, and power door locks.
Exterior Features
The stylish exterior of the 2003 Suzuki Aerio S includes 15-inch aluminum
wheels, and multi-reflector halogen headlamps. Up the line to the GS and
SX trims you can find alloy wheels, fog lamps, chrome exhaust tip, and
a sporty rear spoiler to remind you what's under the hood. On the rear
window of the SX, there is also a wiper/washer for your convenience.
Performance
Both models present the same power-packed engine. 2.0-litre, 16 valve,
DOHC, in-line 4-cylinder engine with 141 horsepower @ 5700 rpm and 135
ft-lb of torque @ 3000 rpm. Also included is a zero-maintenance, self-adjusting,
two-stage timing chain. Unleaded fuel mileage rings in at 26/33 (city/hwy)
mpg. Transmissions avail in 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic.
Safety and Security
Safety features of the 2003 Suzuki Aerio start with second-generation
dual airbags, daytime running lights, remote keyless entry, and height
adjustable shoulder belts. The passenger compartment is steel reinforced,
while the unibody structure integrates crumple zones.

rides on MacPherson Strut suspension front and rear in the interest
of performance, ride comfort and packaging efficiency. This layout
delivers all the attributes that are critical in a small car: good
ride quality, predictable handling and dense suspension packaging
to free up more room for passengers and cargo. To help filter out
road noise and vibration, the front and rear suspension pivot on
specially mounted subframes to better isolate the passenger cabin.
