2006 Suzuki Aerio Preview summaryImage

For 2006, the Aerio compact sedan gets an improved audio system, standard ABS brakes, and a cleaner emissions system. This low-priced model comes in 8 trims, has 4 doors, and seats 5. In addition, it features a 2.3 L, 155 hp I4 engine.

Gas mileage averages out at 25 mpg in the city and 30 on the highway. All trims have passenger capacity of just over 100 cubic feet. AWD trims give you 11.5 cubic feet of cargo space while the other trims hold 14.6 cubic feet.

Overall, drivers like the Aerio's low price and good gas mileage. On the other hand, a 155 hp I4 engine doesn't quite match up to the industry leaders. In any event, consider an '06 Aerio if you need a solid sedan at a low price.

I have owned an 06 SX AWD for 4 years ( it has 178K on it ) and although the front suspension can get noisy ( then you replace the control arms ) it is a dependable, reliable vehicle that just needs proper maintenance. When the valve train gets noisy on cold startup it probably needs a new oil pump but I put a switch on my fuel pump so I can turn it over to build oil pressure and THEN I start it. Pretty much a tractor.Nov 01, 2023
