“The unveiling of sports wagon.Kizashi 3 is an important
day in the continuing rise of Suzuki in this country,”
said Suzuki Australia General Manager Tony Devers. “We
are one of the fastest growing brands in Australia despite
competing in less than 50 per cent of the market, and the addition
of a superb vehicle like Kizashi will help confirm Suzuki’s
status as a significant force in the country.
“With more than 2.3 million sales
last year, Suzuki is truly a global brand and the imminent
arrival of Kizashi represents a landmark in our mission to
consolidate Suzuki as a major player in Australia.”
The closest to production variation of
the Concept Kizashi series, Kizashi 3 embodies Suzuki’s
interpretation of the sport sedan segment. The ‘super
sport’ identity
– a core component of the Suzuki brand DNA – is
complemented by the vehicle’s overall mission to provide
powerful, refined urban performance.
Kizashi 3 is powered by
an advanced 3.6-litre V6 with plated cylinders – a weight
and friction saving technology evolved from Suzuki’s
WRC and MotoGP development teams.
Producing 221 kW of power,
Kizashi 3 drives all four wheels via a silky smooth six-speed
automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
“Suzuki prepares to celebrate 100 years in 2009, Kizashi
3 has shown there’s never been a more exciting moment
in our history,” said Devers. |
