NEW YORK (March 30, 2010) — American Suzuki Motor Corp.

Vital Stats
Engine : 2.0 L., 4-cylinder
Power: 150 hp
Torque: 140 ft-lbs

6-speed Manual, CVT
Based on the recently introduced 2010 Kizashi (pronounced 'Kee-Zah-Shee'), already acclaimed for its near-luxury content and Euro-tuned platform, the 2011 Kizashi Sport moves the excitement meter upward wîth a host of external mods. These include a more muscular front fascia (with chrome accents) and lower grille, body side sill extensions, lower body side molding wîth chrome accents, a trunk mounted spoiler, custom light weight 18-inch alloy wheels and a 10mm lower ride height for a combination of better aerodynamics and a lower center of gravity for enhanced grip and sharper handling.


Inside, the new Kizashi gets a distinctive designed sport §teering wheel wîth perforated leather grip and contrasting stitching on the leather seats, shifter boot and emergency brake boot (when equipped wîth black leather interior). Interior upgrades speak to the Kizashi's sporting intent, wîth form-fitting sport seats and driver-centric cockpit.

2010 Kizashi
The 2010 Kizashi is available in four trim levels, ranging from the well-equipped entry-level Kizashi S priced between $18,999 for FWD and $21,899 for AWD, to the luxuriously appointed SLS model ranging from $24,499 for FWD M/T to $26,899 for AWD Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Prices do not include the $735 destination and handling charge.

2010 SX4 SportBack
In addition, Suzuki will showcase America's most affordable 'Hot Hatch', the all-new 2010 Suzuki SX4 SportBack. Sharing its base configuration wîth the all-wheel-drive SX4 Crossover, the SX4 SportBack offers an all-new 2.0-liter engine delivering 150 horsepower wîth its standard six-speed manual transmission. (posted on conceptcarz.com) For those wîth a preference for action wîth less interaction, a performance-tuned CVT (with paddle shifters) is optional. Suzuki's new hot hatch also features an aero package, larger rear, fog lamps, spoiler, lower ride package (when compared to the SX4 Crossover) wîth KYB performance shocks, keyless start, stability control, all-new instrument cluster and a class-exclusive standard navigation system.
