Kizashi 4WD - new mid-sized saloon from Suzuki

This is Suzuki's D Segment car, Kizashi, which will be introduced in the UK in January.

The Japanese name means 'A sign of great things to come' as the car represents a new direction for Suzuki and has been developed as the flagship model in the global Suzuki passenger car line-up, with a premium feel and high levels of standard specification.

It has switchable 2/4WD with CVT/6-speed manual mode operated via the steering wheel switches or the gear shift lever.

The 2.4 petrol engine will output 178PS; ESP and seven airbags will be fitted as standard, including a driver's knee one.

The combined fuel consumption is expected to be 34.0mpg, with C02 emissions of 191g/km.

Boot space is 461 litres.

We're not sure when it will arrive here.
