Maruti Suzuki India Limited, the country?s largest car manufacturer, on Wednesday unveiled its new sporty sedan ?Kizashi?.
Kizashi is the company?s first offering in the upper end of the Indian car market, said an official spokesperson.
It is manufactured at Suzuki Motor Corporation?s Sagara plant in Japan and will be imported into India as a Completely Built-up Unit (CBU). After its launch in Japan in late 2009, the Kizashi was introduced in the US.
Kizashi will be available in India in two variants: Manual Transmission (MT) and Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT).
At the launch, Shinzo Nakanishi, Managing Director and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India said, ?With the launch of this luxurious sporty sedan, Maruti Suzuki is able to offer an international car to top-end customers in India.?
The Kizashi is powered by the celebrated 2.4 litre DOHC J?Series engine that ensures potent performance (maximum output: 178 PS @ 6,500rpm and a maximum torque: 230Nm @ 4,000rpm) while offering excellent fuel efficiency of 12.53 Kmpl (CVT) and 12.45 Kmpl (6-speed MT).
The Kizashi will be available in ?Snow White Pearl?, ?Super Black Pearl? and ?Premium Silver Metallic? colors.
Kizashi can be booked with an initial deposit of Rs 50,000 at any Maruti Suzuki Dealers immediately. Deliveries for Kizashi will begin in March 2011.
