Maruti Suzuki Kizashi in India by March 2011
Maruti Suzuki has plans of introducing the sedan, Kizashi in India by March 2011. This D-segment vehicle is more on the lines of a Honda Accord. Having worked in India as a small car giant, the company hasn’t managed as much success when trying to sell heir newer vehicles at higher prices.
The Grand Vitara wasn’t as successful as one would have expected despite being a cheaper SUV as compared to others available in the Indian auto market. Of course, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara also didn’t offer a diesel version which too marred its popularity.
The Kizashi if well marketed could be a prime candidate for the D-segment. The Maruti Kizashi sedan boasts of a 2.4-litre, 4-cylinder engine. This little masterpiece hidden away under the bonnet can boast of 170PS of power and 220Nm of torque. The 6-speed manual and a CVT auto transmission choces could be favorable too. The Maruti Kizashi sedan also offers FWD and AWD versions.
Initially the Maruti Kizashi sedan will be bought in as a CBU, and localization would seep in when sales volumes improve. The expectant price tag is hovering around the Rs. 15-16 lakh bracket.

The Kizashi doesn’t have the looks of a premium segment car and looks very much like the SX4. Maruti will have ahard time selling the product and it ma turn out to be the 2nd lemon in Maruti’s portfolio after the Baleno
