This is extraordinarily fast, but the straights are not what the Kizashi does best. The suspension consists of MacPherson struts in front and a five-point multilink setup in the rear with KYB shock absorbers to the four corners.

Meanwhile, three consecutive Kizashi concepts have been introduced. Suzuki has surprised us at first with a concept car at the IAA 2007.
