Suzuki Kizashi 1st Generation

2010–2013 · sedan

Suzuki's last attempt at a US-market sedan. Single 2.4L J24B inline-four (180-185 hp), CVT or 6-speed manual, FWD or AWD. Reviewers praised the ride/handling balance, but volume never materialized. Suzuki withdrew from the US automotive market in 2013 — Kizashi was the last new Suzuki car sold here.

Watch out: Orphaned-brand parts availability — many components were Suzuki-specific, not shared with other brands the way Geo/Tracker parts are. Dealer service network in the US no longer exists; independents can handle most work but specialty parts (suspension bushings, electronics modules) get tough. CVT cars need rigorous fluid-service discipline.
