2011 Suzuki Kizashi
Suzuki announced today that it will debut the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport production version at this year's New York Auto Show. The 2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport is offered with the GTS and SLS trim levels and will go on sale this August. The 2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport price will be announced closer to its on sale date. The 2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport offers various styling options including a new front fascia with chrome accents, side sill extensions, lower body side molding with chrome accents and a trunk mounted spoiler. The 2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport sits on 18-inch alloy wheels and has a 10 mm lowered ride height.

Powering Kizashis on both sides of the border will be a 2.4-litre four-cylinder. The choice of CVT chops 5 hp from the 185 hp the U.S. six-speeders get, but that's still more than in four-cylinder Altimas, Camrys or base Accords. Like any CVT-equipped car, initial acceleration in the Kizashi can seem sluggish. But its relatively light 1,560 kg curb weight helps it scoot from zero to 100 km/h in just under eight seconds. U.S. estimates have the Kizashi CVT rated at 10 L/100 km in the city (28 mpg) and 7.6 L/100 km on the highway (37 mpg).
