Overview

The 2010 Suzuki Kizashi is a compact sedan offered in 4 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $18,999. For that price, it mainly competes with the 2010 Honda Civic, the 2010 Nissan Altima, and the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta. Between 4 trims, the Kizashi offers 2 powertrains. It is a 2.4L Inline-4 making 180 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed manual and a CVT. The Kizashi reaches 60 mph from zero in 9.1 seconds on its standard 6-speed manual, which gets pumped up to 7.1 seconds with the CVT. Depending on the powertrain, the Kizashi can manage a combined fuel economy of between 24 and 25 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 3 striking colors the Kizashi comes in really pull you towards itself. The 2010 Kizashi fetches an average price of $6,992. However, average savings of around $320 can be expected, among the good deals. With around 26 units of the Kizashi available for purchase, we offer a vast inventory for you to choose from.

Buying Advice

Mechanized with either a manual, or a CVT, depending on the trims, the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi is one of the budget midsize sedans in the segment, known for a lively stable drive, simplistic appearance, and spacious interior, coated with quality materials. The 2.4L Inline-4 makes a good amount of power for both highway cruising, and driving around the town, while the size is quite unique, falling in between the bigger and smaller sedans. It’s bigger than the Civic or Jetta, while smaller than the Altima, or the Accord, making itself one of the perfect sedans for the busy roads of the USA. With a cherry on top, the 2010 Kizashi comes standard with a manual transmission, which acts like bliss to the enthusiasts, while CVT is also there for the average American who finds it easy to drive. Overall, the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi is a good spacious sedan in the range, however, the compact legroom in the rear may be problematic to some people.
