2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport Revealed

Suzuki had just debuted the 2011 Kizashi Sport, scheduled to go on sale in the US this August, at this year's New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). Pricing for the Sport variant of the Kizashi, which will be offered exclusively on Kizashi GTS and SLS trim levels, will be announced closer to the market launch.

The car is based on the recently introduced 2010 Kizashi, only featuring a more muscular front fascia (with chrome accents) and lower grille, body side sill extensions, lower body side molding with chrome accents, a trunk mounted spoiler, custom light weight 18-inch alloy wheels and a 10mm lower ride height.

Inside, the Kizashi Sport boasts a sporty feel, with form-fitting sport seats and driver-centric cockpit. There is also a sport steering wheel with perforated leather grip and contrasting stitching on the leather seats, shifter boot and emergency brake boot (when equipped with black leather interior).

"We've been thrilled with an enthusiastic reaction to the 2010 Kizashi, and we look forward to offering sport sedan buyers the newest iteration of our stylish sport sedan later this year,"
said Koichi Suzuki, executive vice president American Suzuki Automotive Operations. "The Kizashi Sport provides us with an opportunity to build on the sport sedan's short-term accomplishments and further engage driving enthusiasts looking for an affordable alternative to luxury performance vehicles."

The 2010 Kizashi is available in four trim levels, ranging from the entry-level Kizashi S priced between $18,
999 for FWD and $21,899 for AWD, to the top-of-the range SLS model priced between $24,499 for FWD M/T and $26,899 for AWD Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
