Vehicle Overview
The five-seat Kizashi is Suzuki's entry in the competitive midsize sedan market. Although it is small on the outside at 183 inches long, the Kizashi competes against midsize sedans like the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima. The available all-wheel-drive Kizashi aims to take on premium compacts like the Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C300. Its name means "something great is coming" in Japanese. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available.

New for 2012
A new Leather Seat Package for SE trim levels includes power-operated leather front seats with seat heaters. Manual-transmission Sport GTS models no longer have a moonroof or a power driver's seat, which Suzuki says is intended to lower the car's center of gravity in addition to its price.

Exterior
The Kizashi's grille looks similar to other Suzuki products, and its overall front-end design is not as daring as the concept Kizashi that appeared at auto shows. The rear is where things really get interesting, with the entire trunk lid rising up in a curve to form a solid-spoiler look. The Sport versions have a more muscular look at the front and add a rear spoiler. Exterior features include:
  • Standard 16-inch wheels
  • Available 18-inch wheels
  • Standard projector-beam headlights
  • Rain-sensing wipers and rear parking sensors (Sport SLS)
  • Available power moonroof
Interior
The Kizashi features a standard tilt/telescoping steering wheel, keyless entry with push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control and available USB audio connectivity. Interior features include:
  • Available navigation system with backup camera, Rockford Fosgate CD stereo
  • Cloth seats standard; leather optional
  • Available Bluetooth connectivity
Under the Hood
The Kizashi is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, which teams with a six-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic transmission. All-wheel-drive models come only with the CVT. Mechanical features include:
  • 180-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder (185 hp with manual transmission)
  • Front- or all-wheel drive
  • Fully independent suspension
  • Available lowered sport suspension
Safety
  • Standard safety features include:
  • Antilock brakes
  • Electronic stability system
  • Side-impact airbags for both rows of seats
  • Side curtain airbags for both rows of seats

These additional manufacturer savings programs can help you get your best deal.*

  2. Low Interest Financing
  3. Special Leasing Options

Some manufacturers also provide first-time buyer, military, and other programs to target specific customer segments.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
