The Suzuki Kizashi has been a success in the NZ market with steady sales and various automotive awards, but it hasn’t been as well received in all markets. Now, in a bid to renew interest and give the Kizashi fresh hype, Suzuki has announced it will be taking it “to the next level” at the New York Auto Show.
What does that mean? Well no one really knows yet but Suzuki will take two new concept models to next month’s New York show. No details have been released yet but many suspect Suzuki will reveal a production version of its Kizashi Turbo concept car which was first shown last year.
This special concept featured a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine that produced 179kW of power and 330Nm of torque. The concept car got special treatment like a boot-mounted spoiler, a revised suspension set-up and 19-inch Enkei alloy wheels. If the turbo concept does go into production it will be a smooth move for Suzuki because a high-performance Kizashi would help build appeal for the whole range.
Besides the Kizashi, the company will also display another new model. No word on exactly what it is, Suzuki fans will have to wait until April 20th to find out.
