2012 Suzuki Kizashi Review

By KBB.com Editors
You'll Like This Car If...

Standing out from the crowd is a strong suit for the Kizashi, which, in addition to being relatively new, doesn't sell in the big numbers of most of its competitors. All-wheel drive is a smart option

You May Not Like This Car If...

Regardless of how good a car or its warranty may be, without a strong dealer network behind it the customer can end up losing out when it comes to service and repairs. Suzuki franchise dealers have be

How it Drives

On the road, the 2012 Suzuki Kizashi feels solid and relatively comfortable. Despite what those big tailpipes might suggest, the Kizashi is not fast, but posts decent 0-60-mph times around the 8-second range, depending upon the transmission. Speaking of which, in the Kizashi we actually prefer the CVT automatic (with available paddle shifters) over the 6-speed manual. For models equipped with Suzuki's "intelligent all-wheel-drive" (i-AWD), a driver can easily switch between front-drive and an AWD mode that can split the torque 50/50 between the

"I was very surprised when I drove this car. It has the European feell with the Japanese mechanics! It is a head turner. The options are much more than the price suggested!"

Pleasantly surprised. Better than you'd think.

Pros: "Value AWD luxury for cheap!"

Cons: "more ponies would be nice..."

"I've owned many high end cars... This feels and drives like an entry AUDI, SAAB or BMW! For the price of this thing nothing even comes close. For the price I actually paid (way below sticker) it's a G-D steal! I have a fully loaded 13 SLS. It fully rivals the last SAAB I had, only the AWD makes this one better. If this holds up and isn't problematic this will be the best purchase I have ever made. What a fantastic underrated car. Get one, you won't be disappointed. Oh, right... you can't get one anymore. I'm glad I got one of the last ones. Couldn't care less about the implied poor resale since Suzuki pulled out of the US... I'm not selling it :) Drive it... I don't know what it really is, but I can't believe it is really a Suzuki! A friend from Europe says this is a direct competitor to the entry luxury brands and costs way more there..."
