2010 Suzuki Kizashi Sedan

[kompleti]

SUZUKI QUALITY IS THE BEST I HAVE AN OLD SUZUKI NEVER PROBLEM JUST START THE CAR AN GO

[adestickbaby]

my old man just bought this! he had an Audi. tts pretty kewl.

[zeux7]

like the Concept car of this Kizashi rather than mass product :( , their concept more futuristic and batmobil lookalike

[PhaetonPower]

omg beautiful

would probably buy this over an mercedes c-class or audi a4 or jetta

it looks very nice

and dont say me that suzuki is weak compared to benz, audi or volkswagen

i know, but suzukis are still nice cars

[SupportForToyota]

This car is incredible, looks nices, and Suzuki :) At last not related to GM, so... we will see again good Suzuki's :)

[DtorBill]

Nice car... :)

[Windrunnah]

car needs a GT28 turbo on the awd sixspeed to shake up the market

[youngb1ood]

this is midsized car, it shouldnt be competing against compact sized cars. this is definately a benchmark with fusion, camry, malibu, altima, mazda6, passat, and sonata.... i think this is one of the best midsized cars in terms of engine and looks..... this kizashi looks as good as a mazda6, e-class or a sonata in my opinion, but looks way better than fusion, camry, altima, and passat.

[xadam2dudex]

they should have kept the concept look instead of just making it another sedan..people were delusional 18 months before this presentation

[gabrideen]

this guy sucks. i could sell this pos better than him

[krislyttle]

Not bad, but not exactly ground-breaking either.

[ejuoi]

just test drove it for the first time. first of all it looks better from the outside even more in person. the interior is very good quality but oddly it didn't feel like a Japanese car interior, BMW 3 series comes to mind. The CVT and the paddle shifters were very good. The engine is a little buzzy but has adequate performance.

[youngb1ood]

@ejuoi im just curious..... why did they add paddle shift to a CVT??? it doesnt really make sense to me?

[wppdoes]

Yeah the paddle shift is just a throw on, some people that have test driven the car actually liked the paddle shift feature on the Kizashi. I don't feel it's necessary, but apparently some people like it. The V6 version of Kizashi won't have CVT, they say it's gonne be a regular 6-speed automatic instead.

[ejuoi]

People like the paddle shifters because the CVT sucks for spirited driving. At least the paddle shifters allow some control over RPM even though they're not true manual.

[youngb1ood]

@ejuoi i was wondering why would you add paddle shifters to a transmission that doesnt have "gears" while you should add paddle shifters to a transmission that does have gears. isnt a CVT an automatic transmission that just revs and revs without switching gears? (similar to the analogy of two cones with friction and some rubber to transfer power from one cone to another)

[ejuoi]

because this CVT is not really good if you're trying to have any kind of sport driving, partly because the car only has about 175 HP. the paddle shifters allow for better rpm control. this car really needs the V6 though, badly.

[coreyarupp]

@ejuoi When in Manual Mode, the ctv with paddle shifters does provide a true manual transmission, everything but the clutch. Also, the CVT has 180 hp, 5 speed has 185. There is no V6 in the works currently, but a hybrid will be out next year.

[coreyarupp]

@coreyarupp *CVT

[ejuoi]

Yea there is a V6 in the works, it's supposed to come out next year but not confirmed.

[racers115]

@ejuoi That was the GM High Feature V6 and that has been cancelled due to GM and Suzuki parting ways. Rigth now it appears more likely that Suzuki will produce an in-house turbo-4, although they are now reviewing possibilities of a VolksWagen small V6 powerplant if it can be done in a cost effective manner.

[sexyboi142]

@coreyarupp a V6 is in the works and a turbo model

[twistedjane1]

Why does the brown/tan whatever color it is look so much better than the silver one?

[JetBlueIce]

It's just a different body kit. The body kit you see on the tan one will most likely come on the V6 Kizashi, and possibly as an option on the other levels too but later in the year.

[Bulgdoom]

Why do you need AWD? No im serious.... why? RWD is best at most, especially since Suzuki doesnt even have any cars over 200hp. FWD suits the job perfect and no daily driver will ever feel the difference. Id rather get more horsepower than AWD.

[ejuoi]

I agree with you but some colder or extreme weather climates prefer the AWD. You can't go 150mph on rain, mud, slush, snow.

[Zook16V]

That was so frustrating. He tried his darnd'st, but you had the wrong person doing it. (no offense) You needed someone to sell it....  believe in it.. Please dont leave the United States!!

[wppdoes]

"Suzuki will be happy to hear that we received a number of unsolicited comments comparing its new design to an Audi. These came from people who aren't enthusiasts but know that Audi is a premium brand, which confirmed our own experience that the Kizashi gives an expensive-looking first impression" -

"By the end of our time with the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi GTS, we were totally on board with comparing this car to the Acura TSX and Audi A4" - AOL Auto Autoblog -

[ejuoi]

its at the dealers now

[wppdoes]

"When compared to cars it actually competes with, namely the Corolla, Honda Civic, Ford Focus, and new Kia Forte, there's no question the Kizashi is more handsome, refined, and fun than any of them" -Boston Overdrive Magazine-

[wppdoes]

"As a premium compact, the Kizashi stands above Honda, Ford, Toyota, and Kia in every way"  -Boston Overdrive Magazine-

[ejuoi]

There is no way this car compares with a Corolla, Civic, Focus, Forte. Maybe in brands but not by type. The Suzuki engineers would probably put a sword in themselves if they heard this review. Their benchmark was the AlfaRomeo, Acura, TSX, and Passat.

[wppdoes]

Hmmmm well I don't think Suzuki design engineers would have any problem with professional reviewers finding that Kizashi stands above Corolla, Civic, Focus, Forte, even though Kizashi was benchmarked agaist AR, TSX, and Passat. That statement by the reviewer was based on his (as well as many others) opinion that regardless of how Suzuki is marketing Kizashi, the cars that it will also inevidably go up against are the ones mentioned above because of similar pricing.

[Luckymongoose27]

The orange side marker ruins the car

[wppdoes]

Priced in the low 20's, the car is a lot of bang for the buck and honestly, the first sub 30K Asian car with a suspension that truly feels and performs like a true German setup. -AutoSpies-

[vstromsx4]

Everything Suzuki has made lately is awesome. This is their best car yet - I am ready to get one to set along side my SX4!

[ejuoi]

If this car performs like they say it does it would have more value and 10-15K cheaper than the competition. Sliver looks nice on this, can't wait to try it.

[suzukislo]

great car, waiting for a release in Europe to buy it!

[TourDeSomewhere]

Looks like a VW jetta from front...but better and cooler....Love it.

[killersushi99]

Good Platform for VIP! Slam it on air ride!

[juanlmesl]

wats the song

[Bellyflops2]

What a dumb name sounds like Kiss Assi

[philyfree]

Why do they design a hot concept... and then downgrade it to look like this cheap and tacky version. Suzuki is percieved very bably in Europe. I thought the this model would be the machine to bring them upmarket. But Instead suzuki yet again failed

[benjaminlately]

google "kizashiclub" to talk about the car get updates.

[LLCoolPass]

you know guys there can't be 10 awesome cars

[nanoblackz]

can it beat GTR R35??

[srodens]

The exterior looks alright. Inside looks great. looks like a fantastic deal. With the sx4 sportback, the swift, and this car Suzuki is really going to expand in the US.

[Popk1ller]

And Suzuki doens´t brings this car to europe, this would be the biggest mistake ever.

US: really cool Suzis like XL7

EU: only small lawmower Suzukis ;(

[westside907]

change the fukin gay ass name first u bitches

[ABUNAI888]

bla bla bla....

sporty apearence wtf !

more bla bla bla

cmon put that thing to the track !!!!

if that is fast it will prove it !!

[yearight01]

The genuis at Suzuki decided to name the car the Kizashi but this name sounds a lot like the food maker Kashi .Now I know a lot of names sound similar to each other but does Suzuki really want their car to be associated with a granola bar? Maybe they might be on to something though. I mean if this car and it's "breakfast bar " name becomes a hit then maybe American cars can be named after food companies too. We could have the General Motors General Mills or maybe the Ford Kelloggs Frosted Flake.

[DJTEVAdotCOM]

Suzuki...sport car...Really??....really???

[kj7687]

I like this car, and the New Equator. They are both vehicles that I would very seriously consider buying! Finally Suzuki is looking at the US market seriously. The US is finally being forced to follow European and Japanese transportation standards trends...I see this as a good thing. Like that presenter said, it's a good thing that people are thinking more economically. Don't get me wrong, there is NOTHING wrong with a 500 hp v8, IF you're going to put it to use! But if not, get a 4 cylinder...

[justanotheraccounton]

if the hyundai genesis can sell, so can this .. i like it .

[kgriggs8]

Looks like a car a computer programmer would drive. No thanks nerds.

[CJAEY]

I bet you don't even have a car. Hypocrite get off youtube

[kj7687]

kgriggs8: Who do you think built You Tube, you idiot!? Computer Programmers! You just complimented the car without even knowing it, because you are just THAT stupid, lol. Computer programmers make a lot of money. They drive upscale cars. And you just said it looks like something one of them would drive. This is EXACTLY what Suzuki wants this car to be viewed as. Congratulations, you get the Darwin Award of the day! Now do us all a favor; go and kill yourself and prove Charles right!

[scootfd3s]

wtf 40min?!

[addmorales]

it an inspiration that now it complete it suzuki was part of g.m. now nissan partner and also newly partner with infinti also.. how do i lnow this i work nissan and infinti and now suzuki ..leakd

[tigercrap]

Boring video! WHo the hell cares what this guy says? Just give us the specs! The front reminds me of Audi and VW with a Superman "S" in the grill. The silver car looks great! I'm actually very impressed with Suzuki. I would buy this if it was cheaper than all the other sedans! Finally, a Japanese car with very good proportions and lines! Not original front, but looks good. Give it a 6 speed, 200+ HP, good suspension, and it's a great buy! I drive a MazSpeed 3 but I like this sedan!

[pornisgood1984]

MazSpeed 3's are nice looking cars for the compact car genre.

[mikebagio]

The front looks like a VW Passat. Who is gonna say no to me?

[komputerjeanyus]

It's not a Nissan. "The car will be available on either a front-wheel drive or an all wheel drive platform developed by Suzuki. "

[tperr63]

it s a nissan

[narutard90here]

操，我明年就卖来！

[PhilFL]

I like the test footage. Car seems to handle well.

[borys200]

Suzuki Kills the Kizashi....:(((((

[ankhenaten2]

damm that looks good and premium, they stole the dash speedometer shape from the volkswagen golf, and the front mimics the 2007 volkswagen passat, but hey no hating here it looks good and premium! and big! now i wonder what the price will be i bet a big let down it wont cost cheap

[JetBlueIce]

Prices will start at $19,500 and go up to $25,000 for a fully loaded plush model.

[srodens]

looks about right, but how do you know

[danielsp9]

blahhh blahhh blahhhh just let me drive the thing already!

[ElDiablo458]

Just read the press release..don't need to watch this :S. Nice thing about this car is that the V6 is on it's way..will be 300hp AWD..

[rogerumzx2003]

tell about nothing, if this were this american car...

[borys200]

look like a vw jetta.... concept 3 wos most interested.....

[ducatinova]

The name means "preview" in Japanese

[kennyloyi]

@ducatinova

it means, "be aware"

[IceMonkey1987]

fook me 40mins wake me up at the end

[1910Vito]

Car looks pretty good pretty nice interior ....but it is from premium class cars.

[ldawson103]

WAY too much talking about nothing.

[Pastevin242]

Why would anyone spend 40 minutes watching a clip about a Suzuki???

[mydickistoobig2]

thats a ugly car especially the front grill, messy like subaru impreza,,terribly overdone...ugly.

[isunamitch]

what a wonderful name!!!

[testify221]

what a terrible name

[intrepid81]

I never thought the day would come that I'd be interested in a Suzuki vehicle. It seems like Suzuki is going down the correct path for the vehicle, but they need to pay some major attention to the marketing side of things, which could make or break the launch. Where did they get these guys to do their PR? AWFUL.

[quakes21]

Hopefully it cost around the same price as the 2010 Mazda 3 fully loaded. And I wonder if the Rockford Fosgate audio is better than the Bose in the Mazda 3?

[streetracerm5]

I can't upload video that lasts longer than 10 mins....

[DaminoLordXL]

Yea, I wonder how Worldcarfans pulls that off lol.

[mhd86]

i think you'd have to pay for it or i don't know

[andreasimone91]

nn è male cmq cm auto

[andreasimone91]

wa ke palle 39 minuti??

[slickchild]

Hey... does anyone know what that song is rite at the beginning of this video?

Lovin' that beat.

[jeanpierre1295]

very nice!

and it seems very fast too

[ragamatazza]

i would like to see the same quality of this car also on Fiat's cars...

[allisinthepass]

looks rly nice

[Computenator]

the front nose kinda reminds me of a VW Golf

[armanchik24]

Kinda.

[Sy5temErR0r]

Just skip to 29:00 to see the car ;D

[ironchopsticks]

i felt like i was actually at that meeting falling asleep!

[jsupra]

The Kizashi's gonna turn some heads and drop some jaws GO SUZUKI GO!!

[apricotsnms516]

i will buy a suzuki if they get a better website

[riderxriderx]

superb! new standard in the compact market! i would really to see what those others car company would come up to potent this very premium car!

[quatlen]

this might be good, the rest of their line up BAD.

[opava99]

Fantastyczny pojazd, świetnie dobrane proporcje. Wreszcie Suzuki z zupełnie swoim pojazdem w klasie średniej:-)

[lilo689]

lol
