Suzuki Kizashi 3 Concept: 2008 Sydney Motor Show

While we now know what the production version of the Suzuki Kizashi will look like (well, somewhat), Suzuki hasn't stopped showing off the stunning Kizashi 3 concept.

We haven't seen under the hood or caught it tearing up the roads, but Suzuki says the Kizashi 3 is powered by a 220kW VVT 3.6-litre V6 engine with plated cylinders - a weight and space-saving technology derived from Suzuki's MotoGP and World Rally Championship experience.

The Kizashi 3 (Kizashi means prelude or foretaste in Japanese) is intended as a sign of things to come from the brand, and as we've seen in our previous Kizashi post, this is now evident.

“This concept represents a new direction for Suzuki in that it takes our expertise with smaller sporty vehicles and translates that into the midsized segment,” said Suzuki Australia General Manager Tony Devers

“We believe Kizashi will break the mould of typical midsized or family vehicles, when it goes into production next year.”
