Cars.com National August 6, 2012Vehicle Overview
The five-seat Kizashi is Suzuki's entry in the competitive midsize sedan market. Although it is small for the segment at 183 inches long, the Kizashi competes against sedans like the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima. Its name means "something great is coming" in Japanese. All-wheel drive is available.
New for 2013
A newly available integrated navigation and entertainment system includes streaming audio for Pandora and a backup camera.
Exterior
The Kizashi's grille looks similar to other Suzuki models, and its overall front-end design is not as daring as the concept Kizashi that appeared at auto shows. The rear is where things really get interesting, with the entire trunk lid rising up in a curve to form a solid-spoiler look. The Sport versions have a more muscular look at the front and add a rear spoiler. Exterior features include:
- Standard 16-inch wheels
- Available 18-inch wheels
- Standard projector-beam headlights
- Rain-sensing wipers and rear parking sensors (Sport SLS)
- Available power moonroof
Interior
The Kizashi features a standard tilt/telescoping steering wheel, keyless entry with push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control and available USB audio connectivity. Interior features include:
- Available navigation system with backup camera
- Available Rockford Fosgate CD stereo
- Cloth seats standard; leather optional
- Available Bluetooth connectivity and streaming audio
Under the Hood
The Kizashi is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, which teams with a six-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic transmission. All-wheel-drive models come only with the CVT. Mechanical features include:
- 180-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder (185 hp with manual transmission)
- Front- or all-wheel drive
- Fully independent suspension
- Available lowered sport suspension
