What is the Suzuki Kizashi?

The Kizashi is a four-door family saloon that took Suzuki into the mid-size class. The production car arrived in 2009, following a series of concepts that previewed the model. It gave the Japanese maker, known for its compact cars and small vehicles, a more substantial saloon for drivers seeking a roomier cabin and a sporting character.

Generations and engines

The Kizashi had one generation, spanning 2010–2015 in EU figures. Its listed engine was a 2.4-litre petrol unit. EU and French listings give its output as 131 kW (178 PS).

Fuel consumption

The lowest listed consumption is 7.9 L/100 km in France on the NEDC test. The UK listing’s lowest figure is 8.3 L/100 km, also on NEDC. In the USA, the EPA’s best combined figure is 26 MPG, alongside a lowest listed consumption of 9 L/100 km. Canada’s lowest figure is 8.9 L/100 km on its 5-cycle test. WLTP and NEDC in Europe, EPA in the USA and the 5-cycle procedure in Canada use different test methods, so these figures are not directly comparable.
