Suzuki is displaying a great-looking high performance version of its Kizashi mid-size sedan and if there is sufficient customer enquiry the racy Kizashi could be added to the local line-up.
Sourced from Road Race Motorsports in North America, the turbocharger boosts power from 131kW to 179kW and torque from 230Nm to 330Nm.
Under the bonnet, a front strut tower brace has been added for extra rigidity. Brakes are also uprated.
Externally the ‘Concept Kizashi Turbo’ – as Suzuki Australia has labelled it – rides on 19-inch alloy wheels with 40-series low-profile tyres and gains a bootlid spoiler.
When we tested the Kizashi, Car Showroom had not doubt Suzuki’s standout first mid-sizer could handle more grunt and customer feedback has supported that assertion.
Suzuki Australia boss Tony Devers says if motor show interest for the turbocharged Kizashi is strong enough, they will advance the project for local sale.
