The Suzuki Kizashi is the best car Suzuki has ever sold. The Suzuki Kizashi is the best driver’s car in the mainstream (not premium) mid-size sedan segment. The Suzuki Kizashi is probably a better driver’s car than a handful of sports sedans in a much higher tax bracket. This is a goodly powered, versatile, attractive four-door, with subtle-yet-aggressive handling characteristics, and no bad driveline options (I thoroughly enjoy both the AWD/CVT car, and the FWD/6MT, for different reasons).
You don’t need to tell us twice to get excited about a turbocharged version of the already-exciting Suzuki Kizashi—we’ve had a drive in a pretty compelling proof-of-concept car already. Still, today’s news of Suzuki’s own in-house turbo car portends a lot of good driving fun for the future.
We here at Winding Road are pretty big fans of the Suzuki Kizashi. The Japanese mid-sizer is a great combination of comfort and driving dynamics in a handsome package. But we can’t help but feel it could use a bump in power.
