Aside from the name, the Kizashi has “anonymous” written all over it: the styling is handsome but inoffensive, the spec sheet is solid but unremarkable, and Suzuki isn’t much of a household name unless you dig motorcycles. In spite of that, it’s a car that sticks in our brain as much as the catchy name. A lot of that has to do with the Kizashi’s size. As we’ve mentioned in a previous road test of a front-wheel-drive model, the 183-inch-long Kizashi comes in 11 inches shorter than the Honda Accord. Size-wise, the Suzuki is closer to the BMW 3-series, Acura TSX, and Volkswagen Jetta.
Suzuki wants you to think of the 3-series and the TSX when you look at the Kizashi. And for the most part it does an admirable job of playing the “luxury bargain” card.
