First Look: 2010 Suzuki Kizashi
Something Good Coming? Suzuki Says Performance, Quality Will Help Kizashi Win Over Midsize Buyers
From the August, 2009 issue of Motor Trend
By Scott Evans, Motor Trend

In Japanese, "kizashi" means "something good is coming." For Suzuki's sake, its all-new 2010 Suzuki Kizashi -- which took a long time to finally get here -- had better be good if the Japanese automaker thinks it is going to make a dent in the cutthroat midsize sedan segment.

Despite being the 11th-largest automaker in the world and one of the few companies that has remained profitable worldwide during these hard times, Suzuki remains a fringe player in the U.S., with American consumers more readily associating the name with its popular motorcycles. The niche status doesn't have Suzuki discouraged, though. The automaker sees it as a challenge, and to that end have upped the ante in recent years with the compact, sporty SX4 and the good-looking and capable (albeit Nissan-based) Equator pickup. Now, Suzuki is making its boldest move yet with the new Kizashi.

A ground-up design from Suzuki, the Kizashi is an impressive player on paper. Suzuki is promising a car with standard AWD, the most powerful four-cylinder engine in its class, and a premium interior. Suzuki bills the car as a premium vehicle without the premium price tag, a world-class sports sedan that anyone can afford. In planning the car, the sights were set not on entry-level midsize cars, but premium midsizers including the Alfa Romeo 159, Acura TSX, and Volkswagen Passat, and, at first glance at least, it shows.

In order to stand out in the crowded midsize market, Suzuki is boasting that it's upped the content for the Kizashi without upping the price. Under the hood is an all-new 2.4L four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing that Suzuki promises will out-gun any other four-banger in its class, though it's not ready to reveal actual numbers yet. To live up to that claim, the engine will have to make more than 200 hp, which is impressive for a naturally aspirated four-cylinder. Suzuki likewise does not have official fuel economy numbers yet, but expects the car to easily crest 30 mpg with help from underbody trays that smooth out airflow under the car. For those who want more, the company is already developing a hybrid model and may add a more powerful engine in the future if there's a demand for one.

Select Suzuki / Select Auto Service named a "Favorite Place on Google"! Come in and scan the bar code on our door with your cell phone to add us to your list of favorites.

Google Favorite Places Decal

Want to become a Favorite Place on Google?

If you've seen a decal that says "We're a Favorite Place on Google" on a window near you, you may wonder how they got it and what you can do to get a decal for your business. Here's how it works:

  • Businesses unlock their free business listing with Google Places, allowing them to enhance the content of their listings with photos, correct hours, coupons and more. This also tells Google that the business' location is correct, so we can send a window decal if the business is popular enough.
  • People search for local businesses on Google.com and Google Maps, more than anywhere else.
  • Google identifies the most popular local businesses based on how many Google users looked for more information about a business, looked for driving directions to the business, and more. Business owners can get this data about their business after they claim their free listing at google.com/lbc.

We plan to periodically send out new waves of window decals to businesses that meet our criteria. You can make your business eligible by claiming your listing with Google. Sign up now »

Here's a short video that shows the window decals in action. To learn more about how the bar codes on the decals work, go here.
