Suzuki Kizashi Sedan Spyshots Ahead of Uncovered

Suzuki’s upcoming competitor in the ferocious mid-size sedan segment, the Kizashi, has been spotted by our spy shooters yet again, this time revealing the car almost entirely.

Camouflage that amounts to little more than extensive decal work is all that stands between us and the final Suzuki product, a tallish, yet forward looking car that will need every advantage to bring the fight to entrenched competition from the likes of Honda and Toyota.

A crossover version of the Kizashi, as well as a station wagon variant, is apparently in the works for the newest Suzuki lineup—both previewed by concept versions of the car over the last two years.

The engine range should be headed up by a 3.6-liter V-6 making roughly 300 horsepower and likely available with four-wheel-drive as an option—this is a Suzuki after all.

There should also be a 150 horsepower 2.5-liter four that will most likely be responsible for the bulk of model sales. Read the shooter’s comments below.




We have seen spy shots of Suzuki’s first mid-size sedan, the Kizashi, before but these are the best shots of that car so far.

We managed to snap this prototype wearing only light camouflage while testing in Germany earlier this week. Well, it’s almost completely without camouflage.

With several previews in the last 12 months, this is the closest one to production. Later a CUV and a wagon will follow. The CUV and the wagon have also been previewed as concepts and are official announced by Suzuki.

Engine line-up will be topped by a 3.6 liter V6 with about 300 horsepower, maybe even with optional four-wheel drive, while the volume seller probably will be the 2.5 liter, 150 horsepower strong four-cylinder engine.

Suzuki Alto share with Nissan



Suzuki Alto share with Nissan

Adorable and efficient are two words that serve to define the new Suzuki Alto. Also desirable and profitable use. Nissan plans to fill the gaps in its catalog with the help they need, and for that reason, has decided to dip into the newest of Suzuki, which will sell under its brand name with a new and perhaps some design changes. Paragraph mechanic, in theory, will remain unchanged, using a block of 1.0 extremely frugal.

Although by the time Nissan has not wanted to move his name nor appears that we will see the first photos to the Hall of Paris, everything suggests that the similarities with the High will be important. In any case both will be in the city of lights this November, and take for granted that you can not escape our goals.

Paris Salon: Nissan and Suzuki Alto Pixo



Paris Salon Nissan and Suzuki Alto Pixo

No, we have not finished yet with the Hall of Paris, still has a few firsts for us to talk. This year the French sample has been loaded to bursting with interesting models such as Nissan Pixo and the new Suzuki Alto. If you have not been attentive to the news of recent days, you may be wondering how it is that we are talking about both in the same article, either because it is essentially the same car.

High and Suzuki Alto Pixo shared chassis, engines and internal components, differing only in the front of the body, to the extent that they are nearly indistinguishable seen from behind. Its production will be carried out in India, one of its markets "target" par excellence. Only this detail should tell us everything we need to know about both models: small engine (1.0 liters and 65 hp), consumption and a very low grades compared with just enough references in the segment.


Probably the most graceful of the two is the High, with a considerably more attractive design. The Suzuki Alto Pixo, meanwhile, presents an extremely insulso style and lacking in imagination, more of the models from India that the studies of Japanese design (in fact we will not be surprised if it were a local development). The sensations are transmitted by the carrier fully correspond with the outside, through the use of hard plastics everywhere and some elements of cut little refining (the aerators not closed either side, for example) that otherwise do not get a cab pretty detracting given its broad dimensions. Neither High nor Suzuki Alto Pixo, however, are models that sell for aesthetics, but because of a price-quality relationship is anticipated that really balanced.
