Suzuki Kizashi

In the wake of the 41st Tokyo Motor Show in Japan, Suzuki, the brand behind small cars such as the MR Wagon, Wagon R, Swift, and the Palette, removed the curtain to make way for the new flagship medium sedan that targets popular medium sedans such as the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord/Inspire, Subaru Legacy B4, and the Mazda Atenza. Welcome to Kizashi




Before the real Kizashi existed in Japan, this production model made a world premiere in Detroit at the end of July 2009. Although most people sparked its arrival after several spy shots of this car bombarded the online forums and journal presses, the Japanese flagship sedan is no equal to other medium sedans, despite not being related to the GM Daewoo Tosca/Chevrolet Epica.




On the exterior side, the Kizashi resembles the three Kizashi concept cars revealed in Frankfurt (since 2007), Tokyo (same year) and New York (last year), giving the future of the medium sedan a brighter possibility with no impossibility of exploiting the owner of the car. Much ado about its sporty yet elegant style, the Kizashi's exterior can be somewhat seducing due to its sexier design angle.




By the time the Kizashi was born, the 2.4L engine was its only mainframe for this new-age medium sedan, having a power output of 188PS, a torque of 23.5kg・m, with a fuel economy of 12.6km/L. The Kizashi is armed with the latest Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with paddle shifters found on the steering wheel to give the car's shifting a whole new dimension.

On the safe side, the Kizashi's host of safety features such as the Electronic Stability Program, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, ABS, Hill Hold Control, Parking Sonar, Suzuki's TECT, nine airbags, SRS airbags, and auto light system provide the driver the safest side he needs.

COME TO THINK OF IT...

As a direct competitor to successful medium sedans in the world, Suzuki's first full-fledged medium sedan takes on center stage and soon it will stand out in the crowds like you've never seen before. Technically a Japanese-made car built with Western flair, this is surely a so-so for this car. How I describe this new Suzuki sedan is possibly hard to understand its design language. It might have some ups and downs, some flaws and appeals, and some goods and bads about this car, but this will shape the brand image with it.
