Suzuki Announces Intent To Offer a Hybrid Version of Its Kizashi Sport Sedan
By Scott Doggett August 3, 2009
American Suzuki Motors Corp. has announced that it will offer a hybrid version of the 2010 Kizashi, an all-wheel-drive sport sedan the Japanese automaker debuted last week.
The gas-propelled Kizashi is scheduled to appear in North American showrooms starting this winter.
Built at Suzuki's new manufacturing facility in Sagara, the Kizashi will be equipped with a standard 2.4-liter DOHC inline four-cylinder engine.
As for the hybrid version of the Kizashi, Suzuki was unwilling to say more about it than this snippet from a statement released in conjunction with the Kizashi's world premiere:
"In addition to this excellent new powertrain, and to even further enhance the Kizashi's strong efficiency story, Suzuki is developing an even more fuel-efficient hybrid version that will be added to the lineup in the future."
A lot more details would have been nice, but we're delighted to know that a hybrid Kizashi is on the way.
