American Suzuki Motor Corp. (ASMC) introduced today at the 2010 New York Auto Show the new 2011 Kizashi Sport, offered only for the Kizashi GTS and SLS trim levels. Based on the recently introduced 2010 Kizashi (pronounced “Kee-Zah-Shee”), the new 2011 Kizashi Sport features a new muscular front fascia with chrome accents and lower grille, new side sills, a lower body side molding with chrome accents, a trunk spoiler, custom light weight 18-inch alloy wheels and a 10mm lower ride height in order to obtain better aerodynamics as well as a lower center of gravity.
Inside, the new car features a steering wheel with perforated leather grip and contrasting stitching on the leather seats, a new shifter boot and emergency brake boot, sport seats and driver-centric cockpit.
The new 2010 Kizashi Sport will go on sale in the United States in August and the pricing is set to be announced closer to the launch date.
“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.”
