Just because you haven’t heard of the Suzuki Kizashi doesn’t mean you should write it off. Suzuki has been a bit of a sleeper brand in the US, but the 2011 Kizashi SLS Sport was enough to surprise our staff member while he test drove it for Bullz-Eye.

Here’s an excerpt from his review:

The interior of the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sport SLS felt like it belonged to a much higher priced vehicle. Our test model included push button ignition, 10-way power driver seat with memory, dual zone auto climate control, 425W Rockford Fosgate CD Audio with booming 10 speakers, iPod and MP3 USB Port. The Kizashi also had Bluetooth hands free calling, a leather steering wheel, power moon roof and heated mirrors. I also want to mention the upscale black appointed leather seats as they were some of the most comfortable and stylish seats I have seen in a vehicle with a 20k sticker price. Suzuki used the same leather to accent the door panels. That’s a detail normally used in much more expensive sedans than the Kizashi Sport. The dashboard is sleek with a very clean center stack, featuring quality dials and buttons that also give that feel of “affordable luxury”.
