The Kizashi already surprised a number of Cars.com editors with its sporty handling, and now it offers a new option package looks to up the ante. The Sport package can be ordered to either the GTS or the SLS trim levels for the 2011 model year and adds a number of dress-up items including revised front and rear front ends with chrome accents; it also lowers the ride by 10 mm.

Suzuki says this will improve aerodynamics, grip and handling. The interior adds a sport steering wheel and unique leather seats when equipped.

We’re not sure how much better the Kizashi can get with these upgrades but the light-weight 18-inch wheels and other add-ons will likely be worth the package price. Unfortunately Suzuki didn’t mention an exact figure but said that it would be less than $23,000 for the GTS and $25,000 for the SLS when it goes on sale in August.
