Suzuki Kizashi

Suzuki is not well know in the United States but it's trying to make it's mark by entering a very competitive market, the midsize sedan market. This segment is dominated by household names like the Accord and Camry. Can Suzuki make a name for itself in this competitive niche? Auto fans who have tested the Kizashi have stated that it is probably one of the best cars that the Japanese auto manufacturer has ever produced. The Kizashi reminds you of German cars due to the smooth lines and upscale interior. This car is more European than Japanese. The Kizashi comes available in four models: S, SE, GTS and SLS. With a base price of around $20k, Suzuki plans to price the Kizashi much cheaper than its competitors in the midsize sedan market. Many reviewers who test drove this car observed that this car has the feel of a German car, such as perhaps Volkswagen's Jetta or Audi.
Suzuki's groundbreaking car, the Kizashi, is powered by a 2.4 Liter 4 cylinder 185 HP engine with 170 lb of feet torque and customers can choose from a CVT transmission or a manual transmission. Suzuki plans to launch a model with a 6 cylinder engine soon. Gas mileage stands at 23 mpg In the city and 31 mpg on the freeway. The car travels from 0-60 in 8.3 seconds. Many reviewers who tested this vehicle remarked that the way this car handles and rides is very similar to the much more expensive German cars.
