2011 Suzuki Kizashi
“Kizashi is designed to have the handling of an Alfa Romeo and the stability of a Volkswagen,” said Mr. Maruyama at the vehicle’s press introduction in Niagara. The target, he continued, was to have the best chassis in the class. To this end, extensive testing and development of the Kizashi took place on racetracks, on the German Autobahn, and in areas noted for rough road surfaces.
In Canada, where Suzuki’s most popular family vehicle is the Grand Vitara compact SUV, all Kizashis will feature all wheel drive (AWD) as standard equipment. Motive power is a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine from the Grand Vitara, although in the Kizashi it is tuned for higher performance, making 180 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 170 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm.
The transmission is a CVT (continuously variable) unit that Mr. Maruyama indicated was developed in-house, but no manual transmission has been announced for Canada. Notably, the entire vehicle is completely new, not based on an existing platform and was designed and developed by Suzuki.
