“Kizashi” is a Japanese word meaning “a sign of great things to come”. And the new Kizashi more than lives up to its name by embodying Suzuki’s forward-looking approach to carmaking and simultaneously hinting at what’s still to come from one of the most innovative carmakers in the world.

Take a closer look at the Alto GLS

New stimulant for sedan choice, engaged driving, and lifestyle enjoyment

All told, the Kizashi can be seen as a great new stimulant: It stimulates new choice in the sedan. It stimulates engaged driving. It stimulates the kind of lifestyle enjoyment that Suzuki envisages with its “Way of Life!” philosophy. And its development has stimulated the Suzuki DNA in a thrilling new way.

Big step, small footprint.

The Alto is not just about style, economy or even comfort. It is also all about the environment. The Alto treads lightly, cutting down on carbon emissions, whether your destination is across the city or just to the corner coffee shop.

Emotionally appealing sedan for active people

Suzuki developed it with emphasis on five key points:
• a combination of sportiness and elegance in its design
• a further evolution of the European-tuned handling delivered by the Swift and SX4
• smoothness and quietness befitting a vehicle in this class
• superior engine performance and fuel efficiency
• stability realized by a further evolution of Suzuki’s i-AWD system

Thanks to this approach, the Kizashi delivers a consistently high level of excitement to everyone who drives it.

Dynimaic and exhilarating driving experience.

Powertrain

Power in the Kizashi comes from a 2.4-litre DOHC inline-four petrol engine that combines potent performance (maximum output: North America 138kW/6,500rpm, Others 131kW/6,500rpm. maximum torque: 230N・m/4,000rpm) with fuel efficiency. Customers can choose between a CVT, which further promotes fuel economy without detracting from the driving experience, and a six-speed manual transmission that’s tuned for true driving enthusiasts.

Body and suspension

An exceptionally rigid steel unibody forms the basis for great handling and a smooth ride. Straight underfloor members and comprehensively reinforced joints play an important role in promoting torsional rigidity, and reinforced pillars contribute to rigidity above the belt line. Engine mounts and suspension mounts are also keys to the body’s high rigidity. Reinforced MacPherson-strut front suspension and multilink rear suspension afford crisp, nimble handling with excellent stability and low chassis vibration. The suspension subframes contribute to levels of quietness and ride comfort. In line with the Kizashi’s position as Suzuki’s flagship model, NVH levels are uncommonly low thanks not only to superior body rigidity and suspension efficiency but also to sound-insulating and -absorbing materials.

Worldwide testing and tuning

The Kizashi’s performance and handling reflect the benefits of testing and tuning conducted in diverse conditions around the world: Engineers put the Kizashi through cold-weather trials in Minnesota and hot-weather trials in Death Valley. They honed the car’s handling on challenging country roads in the United Kingdom and on autobahns and the Nürburgring in Germany.

High level of driver confidence and control

Active Safety

Standard active-safety equipment includes an anti-lock braking system, electronic braking-force distribution, and an ESP®* with traction control that heightens driver confidence by promoting stability during cornering manoeuvres, acceleration, and emergency manoeuvres and on slippery roads. Bumper-integrated parking sensors are also standard equipments on the SDLX/Sport grade Kizashi

Passive Safety

The Kizashi’s has a light, energy-absorbing body in which structures that absorb and disperse impact energy are combined with a deformation-resisting cabin. The front seats have three-point seatbelts with pretensioners and force limiters. And further protection is afforded by extensive airbags (six to eight depending on market).
