NAGA MOTOR - Suzuki's Kizashi "concept" is a teaser of what Suzuki has in store for their upcoming line-up. The Kizashi 1 was a rather funky looking station wagon. The Kizashi 2 was a SUV. Finally, the Kizashi 3 is what you see above, a sport sedan.

Suzuki Concept Kizashi 3 is the third iteration of the Kizashi concept which was revealed at the New York International Auto Show. Kizashi features an AWD system with 300 HP 3.6 Litre V6 engine. Kizashi is an impressive looking concept from Suzuki to-date. However, it yet remains to be seen if Suzuki would be able to compete with Camry and Accord when it hits the US market in 2010.

The Concept Kizashi 3, which suggests both Suzuki's future design direction and stated intent to offer a larger, more upscale sport sedan, will be joined in New York by the North American debuts of the Concept Kizashi and Concept Kizashi 2.

The Kizashi concept series was developed by Suzuki's Advanced Design Group to reflect a dynamic athlete in motion, taking its design cues from a strong, honed physique while displaying the performance, strength and style befitting a flagship vehicle.

The Concept Kizashi 3 will represent the completion of the Kizashi concept series as well as providing a closer-to-production vision of a future Suzuki sport sedan offering.

The Suzuki Kizashi 3 has a five seat configuration with a front engine, four-wheel drive with Advanced i-AWD system.

The closest-to-production variation of the Concept Kizashi series, Concept Kizashi 3 embodies Suzuki's interpretation of the sport sedan segment in the North American market. The Kizashi's "super sport" identity, a core component of the Suzuki brand DNA, is tempered by the vehicle's overall mission to provide strong, refined urban performance.

As with Concept Kizashi and Concept Kizashi 2, the front end of the Concept Kizashi 3 expresses strength and style, with sharply fashioned headlights that emphasize the sensation of forward motion. The vehicle's exquisitely engineered body reflects Suzuki's distinctive combination of capability and refinement, with power flowing from a 3.6-liter DOHC V6 engine 24-valve engine developing 300 hp that is coupled with a six-speed automatic (with paddle shifters) gearbox and with plated cylinders — a weight-and space-saving technology that evolved from the lessons learned by Suzuki's motorcycle and WRC development teams. The body's monochrome finish, Kizashi Silver, gives the vehicle a sense of composure and depth of character, with metallic paint sparkling to emphasize the dynamism of the body's cross-section.
