Driving Sports

Of all the automakers out there, I think Suzuki has the most potential to raise their profile and raise people's opinions of the brand. Their SX4 hatchback, gifted with AWD and standard GPS naviation, is a great example. Forget what you've thought about Suzuki in the past, because they're raising their game.

A few days ago, Suzuki unveiled the next step in their re-branding - the all-new Kizashi sport sedan. This car brings Suzuki into the forefront of the AWD luxury sedan market, and it's a bullet aimed right at the Subaru Legacy.

The Kizashi comes with a 2.4-liter DOHC inline four-cylinder engine mated to your choice of 6-speed manual or CVT transmission.

Suzuki's planning a press launch in the early fall, so we'll keep you up to date until we get the chance to drive one ourselves. In the meantime, here's a photo gallery of the new ride.
