Trendy And Elegant Cars Of Suzuki Kizashi 3 Concept

Suzuki Kizashi 3 Concept Car Digital

Suzuki is also leaving on the table the possibility of future hybrid and clean diesel versions of the car. Under the bulging hood, the concept adopts a 300 horsepower naturally-aspirated 3.6-liter V-6 that is teamed with a paddle-shift six-speed automatic gearbox and uses an Advanced i-AWD (All-Wheel Drive) system that is the beneficiary of the company’s success in racing. Kizashi is Suzuki’s first glance at the third phase in their ‘Way of Life’ global strategy, which started in 2004 with the launch of the first tagline, which was ‘sportiness’. That’s further emphasized by Kizashi 3’s wide track, muscular stance and, at the very least, the image of upscale performance. The oversized, 21 inch aftermarket wheels add plenty of style, though the huge brake rotors partially hidden behind the spokes communicate an underlying athletic theme Suzuki was seeking.

In attractive silver paint, a somewhat Audi-inspired, large metallic crosshatch grille and a wide and muscular stance, this concept looks to be all business. In Japanese Kizashi translates to something like “foretaste.” With the bold-looking Kizashi 3, the first attempt by Suzuki to take on the midsize car market is a serious look at what the future may hold. The typically economy car producing company already has plans for a Nissan Frontier-based truck and judging by recent marketing ads is attempting to remake the image of their SX4 as a viable Mini alternative. Vince Vaughn quoting aside, Suzuki’s all out offensive into previously unthinkable areas of auto making continues with the third concept in their latest series of prototypes; the 2009 Kizashi 3.

Elegant Cars Of Suzuki Alto

Suzuki Alto Car Digital

Low tax and cheap insurance, we're finding plenty of ticked boxes, and Predicting a few raised eyebrows among readers, consider how affordable St Lucia now looks (and if nothing else, the autos massive pleading eyes). In short (and indeed, compact), the Alto really is an effortless little package. As the modest 1.2 litre engine will honour your padded wallet, you'll also be comforted by its merciful relationship with Mother Nature.

Whilst it won't slaughter the motorway, its handling is by no means demanding, and given the right attention, can zip along with the best of them. Whilst optimistic in the leg room department, you certainly won't feel threatened by country lanes, and despite just falling short of 'babe magnet', the lego toy aesthetic makes it lovable to even the most macho of hearts. Not too cramped for your Great Dane, but snug enough to be the reverse parker's dream, there's a cheekiness about this car that frankly, we can't help applauding. Whilst the so-called 'aerodynamic' body is not exactly the essence of cosmopolitan, its petite frame is admittedly, a little bit charming.

Whilst its purpose is fairly straightforward, there exists in the Alto a touch of charisma that neglects the spiritless nature of other cars. But whilst all too easy to scoff at the dinky motor, the junior of the Suzuki family absurdly defends the myth that good things come in small packages. Sincerely empathising that this little digit isn't the kind of Holy model made for sleepless nights, we're reluctant to go on. Efficient, dependable, affordable; we're yawning already.

Looking for an affordable car with good gas mileage? Who isn't, right? Well are you looking for a car that resembles the off spring of a MINI and a Subaru? (That narrows the field down quite a bit) If you're still with me then you're the perfect candidate to read this Suzuki SX4 review.

The 2007 Suzuki SX4 is "America's most affordable standard wheel drive" according to Automedia. "The SX4 was also one of five econocar finalists for Ward's Auto World magazine's Interior of the Year award."

The three main reasons to buy a SX4 are:

1.) Performance
With 24mpg city driving and 30mpg on the highway, this car will save you more in more ways than just the price tag. Not that anyone really needs to but you could get from 0 to 60 in just about 11 seconds. Be sure that's not a police car next to you at the traffic light.

2.) Personal Space
Unless you're six foot tall there is more than enough in the front and the "spacious" back seat for you. There are plenty of handy storage compartments, door pockets and cup holders for all your stuff. The dark cloth is great for covering up spills and other accidents - though it does get warm in the summer months.

3.) Price
In this day and age how can you scoff at a car that bases less than $15,000? And when you deduct for Suzuki's over the top rebates you just can't go wrong. Don't forget about the money you'll be saving due to the awesome gas mileage.

So if you like a car with flowing design elements, good gas mileage, a great starting price plus awesome rebates... then you should definitely check out the Suzuki SX4 before you make your final buying decision.
