If you are still thinking about getting into a Suzuki Kizashi, we have some good news for you! In 2012, the Japanese auto maker gears up to bring new models to Liberty Mazda Suzuki in Libertyville, IL.

Over the last 18 months Suzuki has witnessed strong sales of Kizashi throughout America and Australia. A total of 23 thousand units have been sold world wide. The company has decided to bring this model to dealers throughout the UK.

The highly acclaimed Kizashi will only be offered to European audiences with one trim available for now. Dealer options, however, will include an enhanced infotainment / navigation system uploaded and installed to the dashboard. More than enough power will be generated from a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, which is capable of producing of 175 bhp with a manual transmission. One of the notable standard options is manual steering wheel paddles, which can be used instead of the traditional stick shift. These are the same wheel paddles which are found on many popular rally cars.

"Many of our dealers don't drive their own product, because generally we sell small cars," says Suzuki Sales & Marketing Director Dale Wyatt. "The owner of the business will drive this, you can get the golf clubs in the back and it has much more presence."¹
