Suzuki Kizashi comes to Europe






Ah, Suzukis... I see then every day at work and I have to be honest, I never liked them. I have driven the Liana (what an awful car!), the SX4 and the Grand Vitara. Still don't like them though...

Anyway, Suzuki Kizashi (???) is already on sale in Japan and US and now, Suzuki will present the European version at Geneva Motor Show. I am pretty sure that it made sense to the marketing people for the US, but come on, now we are talking about Europe. Who will buy a big Suzuki sedan? There are so many choices, e.g. Opel Insignia, Mazda 6, Ford Mondeo, Seat Exceo, Toyota Avensis just to name a few.

Kizashi will be offered with all-wheel drive as standard, while it will be powered by the same 2.4 L petrol engine used on the USDM model. Even if the dynamics of the car are good, engine technology, performance and refinement are definitely not the strong points of Suzuki making it difficult to sell Kizashi in Europe. Unless of course if it is a bargain...
