Maruti Suzuki Kizashi is the latest attempt by Suzuki to launch itself into the sedan segment.

company is aiming at maintaining its sporty image owing to its motorcycles that command a
good market share. Maruti Suzuki Kizashi means “coming up of something great” which is in
line with the company’s aspirations. The sedan is a product of in-house engineering and
designing by Suzuki.

Director of product planning, Steve Younan gave a synopsis on Maruti Suzuki Kizashi. Suzuki
has raised its bar this time and its Maruti Suzuki Kizashi is targeted to compete with Volkwagon
Passat, Acuta TSX and Alfa Romeo 159. That meant responsive handling, good steering and
captivating performance at the same time withholding quality ride experience. The end result is
dampers with high performance, multi link rear suspension, high-end akebono brakes and 18-
inch wide wheels. A lot of unofficial spy shots of Maruti Suzuki Kizashi have been seen over the
past year. It is now awaited to see if Maruti Suzuki Kizashi lives up to its expectations.

One look under its hood, we spot a refined engine with a 2.4 Litre capacity with four-cylinder
giving high-output complimented with Variable Valve Timing (VVT Technology). Power of the
car can be transmitted thought CVT Transmission or six-speed manual transmission, whereas
CVT Transmission comes with the standard paddle shifters. The Maruti Suzuki Kizashi comes
with eight standard airbags which provides a stable control and it also meets the side impact

first-class performance without being invasive. An option added in the sedan is an integrated
system of all wheel drive to enhance the stability control. A hybrid version of Maruti Suzuki
Kizashi is underway but it will be uncovered only after its gas powered model hits the markets. It
