Suzuki Kizashi, the first official photos

The Suzuki Kizashi is a major bet by the Japanese brand on the saloon market, a segment it did not cover as thoroughly as compacts or city cars. After the presentation in 2007 of the concept model and several spy photos of the model, Suzuki has finally unveiled the new Kizashi in California.

The Suzuki Kizashi is aimed at the American market, but it will also reach Europe. We know little about the engines, and we also don’t know the prices of the new saloon from Suzuki. In the USA, the base version is expected to feature a 2.4-litre engine, but we don’t know its power output.

The standard equipment in the USA includes push-button start, an audio system with Bluetooth, eight airbags and ESP (geared towards sporty driving). It will also offer all-wheel drive as an option. The design of the Kizashi is a plus, since it moves away from classic styling and features a distinctive design, making it a good saloon alternative to the German models (at least in terms of design). The quality of the materials has also been taken care of, but we will have to wait to get more details about the interior.
