In the Kizashi, sportiness is only half the story. In equal measure, the Kizashi is luxurious and beautifully crafted to expand your
view of what a sedan should be. In every control you touch. On every beautiful surface upon which you gaze. In the pristine quiet
of a sensuous cabin. You experience craftsmanship that inspires greater passion for driving.

grade delivers extra exhilaration thanks to sport suspension with a lower ride.
Sport AWD grade: an extra dose of exhilaration
Prestige grade
The soul of a sports car lives inside the Kizashi, imbuing every moment you spend behind the wheel
with an expanded sense of freedom. You feel absolute control over every manoeuvre, an extraordinary
sense of oneness with every bend in the road. The Kizashi invites you to move and be moved.
Inspiring pure freedom

As you enter the Kizashi, your expectations ascend to a peak.
Senses alert, inspired as much by the elegant design as the extraordinary technology, you’re approaching
a new way to drive. If you have a passion for innovation, if you’re inspired by high-performance driving,
take a seat and strap in. You’ve entered a new realm.
Realm of the senses
*Standard in Prestige and Sports AWD grades.
1. Meters and controls: Sporty instrumentation
is centred on two cylindrically shaped, backlit
meters whose position helps you keep your eyes
on the road. Steering-wheel-mounted controls for
the audio and other systems also help you enjoy
the drive without taking your eyes off the road.
They include sports-car-style shift paddles for the
continuously variable transmission (CVT).
2. Keyless push start system: Kizashi driving
exhilaration begins with a push of a racing-carstyle engine-start button.
3. Driver’s seat: The 10-way power-adjustable
driver’s seat* has a memory function that instantly
restores your favourite position when someone
else has driven the Kizashi.
4. Shift lever: Whether you choose a CVT or
six-speed manual transmission, the shift lever is
designed for a sporty and luxurious look and feel.

From the moment you settle into the Kizashi’s 10-way power-adjustable
driver’s seat*, you find your senses completely engaged. At a glance, your
eyes take in the sporty instrumentation; the minimalist design maximises
your focus. You note that the switches and controls are all positioned
where you intuitively expect to find them. You adjust the steering wheel
and allow your fingertips to brush the shift paddles and other key driving
controls. Every colour and texture you see is subdued and refined, and the
symmetrical design of the instrument panel adds to the sense of quality
and sportiness. Beautifully crafted details like a satin finish on the shift lever
provide further inspiration. It’s simplicity with a higher purpose: to allow you
to focus on the road and the pleasure of driving.
Experience total focus.
Prestige grade. Interior black
Take a seat. Gently close the door. Now, listen and absorb the quiet. Silence is more than the absence of sound.
Inside the Kizashi, it possesses an ephemeral texture you can almost feel. Harmony and stillness are reflections of
the extraordinary craftsmanship that went into every detail of the cabin. Enveloped in this soothing atmosphere,
you feel at one with the spacious surroundings.

Boot: The boot is big enough for four golf bags*3 or one large and two medium-size suitcases*4.
A boot-through opening in the rear seat lets you stow long items of luggage without folding the rear seatback.

Storage: The centre-lower box in the instrument
panel contains a USB port and a power socket,
making it an ideal spot for an iPod®*2.
On the road, you needn’t want for anything because well-crafted storages spaces such as an overhead console box are
close at hand. The boot has an ample 461 litres of space, which you can easily use for diverse purposes thanks to a split
rear seatback that can be folded down to expand the luggage space into the cabin.
Room for things large and small
Climate control: The automatic air conditioner
adds comfort for everyone. It even lets the driver
and front passenger choose different temperatures.
The Kizashi’s peaceful cabin is the result of a design that suppresses outside noise from all directions. You’ll appreciate the
stillness and harmony all the more once you turn on the premium audio system. In nearly every way imaginable, the Kizashi
meets your wish for comfort. The upholstery is made of either leather*1 or densely woven fabric that reflects traditional
Japanese expertise in textiles. And the air conditioner is so advanced, it even takes the direction of sunlight into account
when adjusting the temperature.
The luxury of smart design
Audio system: The high-end audio
system (standard for the Prestige
and Sport AWD grade) delivers 425
watts of aural enjoyment through
10 speakers. Suzuki created it with
top audio manufacturer Rockford
Fosgate®.
Prestige grade. Premium Silver Metallic
To drive the Kizashi is to experience a unique sensation of advanced performance: the
feeling of being at one with the road. The degree of control you hold over every aspect of
the drive is so precise, your only reluctance will be to call an end to the day.
Go the extra mile.

Prestige grade. Premium Silver Metallic
From the first moment you steer the Kizashi onto the road, a unique sense of power rests in your hands.
It’s the power of control; an experience of synchronicity born from new technologies, advanced engineering, and
a commitment to achieving perfection. Manoeuvring feels seamless, acceleration and deceleration effortless.
Every bend in the road appears as an opportunity to expand your soaring sense of freedom.
Every day is an appeal to start your senses.
Power resides in control.
Suspension: A highly rigid and light suspension
system gives great handling. It has subframes
with floating structures to ensure that the ride is
also smooth and quiet.
The Kizashi’s confidence-inspiring
performance comes via state-of-theart technologies. A 2.4-litre engine
developed specially for the Kizashi
combines powerful performance
with exceptional quietness and fuel
economy. There’s a choice of a
six-speed manual transmission or a
continuously variable transmission
(CVT) that shifts automatically for
great performance and fuel economy.
And the suspension is designed to
give a ride that balances sportiness
with refinement.

Honed on roads around the world: The Kizashi’s performance and handling reflect the benefits
of testing and tuning conducted in diverse conditions around the world. For instance, Suzuki put
the Kizashi through cold- and hot-weather trials in the United States and honed its handling and
braking performance on autobahns, race circuits, and challenging country roads around Europe.

We had a vision of great things to come. We gave it form in a sedan unlike any other.
The Kizashi. True sports performance in a truly luxurious sedan. Extraordinary craftsmanship in a design
that will inspire you to new heights of driving pleasure. The future you anticipated has arrived.
Discover the soul of a sports car in the sedan of the future.
Suzuki’s safety philosophy is simplicity itself: The first line of defence is to avoid accidents altogether. To that end,
the Kizashi gives you a precise sense of handling and braking control as well as outstanding visibility and
awareness of the conditions around you. But in case of an unavoidable mishap, the Kizashi surrounds you with
extensive protection in the form of airbags and impact-absorbing materials and structures. And to give you even
greater peace of mind, advanced security technologies help to protect the Kizashi from theft.

ESP is a registered trademark of Daimler AG. The ESP® is designed to help keep the Kizashi under control. However, its effectiveness depends on
driving conditions and the state of the road surface. If the tyres exceed their grip limit and the wheels start to spin or skid, it may not be fully effective.
This system is not intended to free you from paying attention to safety when parking. Please ensure safety whenever you park the Kizashi.
*3
The driver and all passengers must properly wear the seatbelts at all times, as the airbags are designed to supplement the seatbelts.
Depending on the nature of an impact, the airbags may not deploy.
Body: The Kizashi’s body is light and strong
thanks to extensive use of high-tensile steel. It
combines structures that absorb and disperse
impact energy with a deformation-resisting cabin
structure. New advances over earlier bodies
include greater underfloor strength for resistance
to impact forces from all directions.
Extensive protection in the cabin includes two
front airbags, a side airbag in each front seat, left
and curtain airbag, and driver’s side knee airbags.
SRS Airbags*3: Extensive protection in the cabin
includes two front airbags, a side airbag in each
front seat, and left and right curtain airbags.
