Both of them have the capacity to accommodate 5 adults with ease. There is lot of boot space which is a good sign for both the cars. The design of the SX4 is done according to new specifications. The SX4 is not that roomier when it comes to interiors. The Linea has features which are top notch. You can sleep inside the Linea if you are traveling for long distance.
Handling and feel
The SX4 handles superb on curves and bends. The car with a 1.6litre engine is freaking powerful. Long distance traveling is done in short time. The design is bit edgy when it comes to handling. On straights the SX4 is superb. On turns it lacks flexibility and this is where the Linea goes ahead.
Engine and feel
The SX4 might have a powerful engine but it does not match the quality delivered by the Italians. The Linea is easy to drive and maneuver at high speeds. You can enjoy the feel delivered by the Linea and it is mind boggling. Extremely smooth and powerful in spite of being 1-4 liter engine it does deliver top notch acceleration. You can abuse the engine the way you wish; power shifting is not a problem with the Linea.
Time to go to the ATM
Now this is a tough question, since both of them are in the same price tag it is bit difficult to make a choice. According to the comparison done the best option is the Fiat Linea. It might have 200cc less but it surely is the best engine which can last long like the Mumbai Taxis.
