About

The Maruti Suzuki Kizashi is a premium luxury sedan that marked Maruti Suzukis entry into the D-segment in India. Launched in February 2011, the Kizashi is powered by a 2.4-liter petrol engine that produces 178 PS of maximum power and 230 Nm of peak torque. The car is well-equipped with features such as comfortable back seats and good ride quality, and it benefits from the reliability and peace of mind associated with the Maruti brand. However, its design, while pleasing in profile and rear, received mixed reviews, particularly for the front. The Kizashi also comes with the option of a CVT transmission, which adds to its convenience. Despite its positive attributes, the cars high price and lack of a diesel variant limited its appeal in the Indian market.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Maruti Suzuki Kizashi, though a bold venture by Maruti Suzuki into the D-segment, falls short in several key areas that are crucial for the Indian market. While the car boasts top-notch interior quality, comfortable back seats, and good ride quality, its high price point and the absence of a diesel variant were significant deterrents. The 2.4-liter petrol engine, delivering 178 PS of power, is certainly powerful but does not align with the prevalent preference for diesel engines in India. Additionally, the cars fuel efficiency, which is around 8 kilometers per liter, is not impressive, especially considering the fuel-conscious nature of Indian buyers. Overall, the Kizashi is a good car but not worth the asking price, making it a less appealing option in a market where value for money is a key consideration.

Price

The Maruti Suzuki Kizashi was launched in India with a price tag ranging between Rs. 16.53 lakh and Rs. 17.53 lakh (ex-showroom). This pricing was a major hurdle for the car, as it placed the Kizashi in a segment where buyers expect more features and better value for money. On-road prices would have been even higher, likely exceeding Rs. 20 lakh in many states, due to additional costs such as taxes, registration, and insurance. The high price, combined with the car being imported rather than locally manufactured, made it less competitive against other models in the same segment. There were also instances where dealers offered significant discounts, bringing the price down to around Rs. 11 lakh ex-showroom, but this was more of a clearance strategy rather than a standard pricing policy.

Latest Updates

Monday, 15 July 2024 08:22 AM The Maruti Suzuki Kizashi, a luxury sedan, was discontinued in India due to poor sales. Despite its luxurious features like leather seats, automatic climate control, and an in-dash entertainment system, it failed to align with Maruti Suzukis brand image of practical and fuel-efficient cars. I think the mismatch between the product and the brands reputation played a significant role in its failure.

Saturday, 03 November 2012 05:01 PM The Kizashi offered two variants: a manual transmission model with a mileage of 12.45 kmpl and an automatic transmission model with a mileage of 10 kmpl. The cars fuel efficiency was a consideration, but it did not seem to be a major selling point. I think the lack of a diesel option might have also deterred some potential buyers.

Saturday, 03 November 2012 07:01 PM Maruti Suzuki offered a discount of Rs. 5 lakh on the Kizashi due to poor sales, indicating a clear attempt to clear inventory. This move was a last-ditch effort to attract buyers to a car that had not gained much traction in the market.

Friday, 02 December 2011 05:46 AM The Kizashi was part of Maruti Suzukis strategy to expand into the luxury segment, but it did not achieve the desired results. The companys focus on entry-level cars remained its core strength, and the Kizashi remained an outlier in their product lineup. I think this experiment was valuable but ultimately unsuccessful.

Mileage

Friday, 22 November 2024 10:23 AM The Maruti Suzuki Kizashis mileage is a concern for potential buyers, especially in India where fuel efficiency is a critical factor. With an estimated fuel efficiency of around 8 kilometers per liter, the Kizashi does not fare well compared to other sedans in its class. This low mileage, coupled with the cars petrol-only engine, makes it less appealing to buyers who are looking to minimize their running costs. For those who prioritize fuel efficiency, the Kizashi may not be the best choice.
