Overview

The 2013 Suzuki Kizashi Sedan is a midsize sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $19,999. For that price, it mainly competes with the more expensive Kia Optima and the Hyundai Sonata while you could also consider compact sedans such as the Ford Focus Sedan and the Volkswagen Jetta. Between 3 trims, the Kizashi Sedan offers one powertrain. It is a 2.4L inline-4 engine making 185 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a continuously variable automatic transmission. The Kizashi Sedan reaches 60 mph from zero in 9.1 seconds with the automatic which gets pumped up to 8.3 seconds with the manual. The Kizashi Sedan manages a combined fuel economy of 24 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 7 striking colors the Kizashi Sedan comes in really pull you towards itself.
