Suzuki Kizashi 4 x 4 test: mid-size sedan with all-wheel drive


The Suzuki Kizashi 4 x 4 is a mid-size sedan with a petrol engine, all-wheel drive and CVT transmissions unique - at least for 29,900 euro.
The comparable Audi A4 2.0 Quattro TSFI and Subaru legacy 2.5 are considerably more expensive and have as standard leather seats nor Xenon head light on board. Even with the engine draws the Suzuki Kizashi 4 x 4 from solid, a 2, 4-litre petrol engine with 178 HP is the only available engine.
With an average of 11.1 litres / 100 km, it is however no Kostverachter because it is missing the cylinder in lower speed regions of passing assets. This concealed quite well, the infinitely variable CVT transmission in the Suzuki Kizashi 4 x 4 but at the cost of high speed. Via shift paddles, the pilot can intervene while in the events, but this only ensures more dynamism.
The Kizashi is just more cruiser as a sportsman, although the firm suspension tuning with regard fleet Highway rounds. The all-wheel drive behave inconspicuously and switches to the rear axle only when the front wheels lose grip. Constantly optimum traction is on demand, such as snowy mountain roads, you can force the use of one-touch. Whether you need it, but not the question: Who wants the automatic, gets only in the Suzuki Kizashi 4 x 4.

The Suzuki Kizashi is a cheaper alternative for those who need all-wheel drive, but want no SUV.
