PICKS ON CARS TWICE ITS PRICE.

Information Provided by:

When you’re driving the Suzuki Kizashi, it’s difficult to believe it’s not an elite European sports sedan costing twice as much. The available paddle
shifters harness the gutsy engine to respond to your every command. At the same time, Kizashi’s razor-sharp steering works in perfect harmony with
the autobahn-tuned suspension and rigid chassis to make carving through your favorite canyon a joy. It’s this level of engineering that enabled the
Kizashi to outcorner and outbrake an Audi A4® in independent performance testing—all for a fraction of the price.2 Which just goes to show you don’t
have to break the bank to enjoy the drive.

See the Kizashi take on and defeat

the most recognized luxury sports sedans.
