However, Kizashi only lasted for 4 years, and due to abysmal sales Suzuki not only discontinued it but also disappeared from Whole,
But what was the reason behind it?

Every car company had made at least one car which was the pinnacle of their engineering limit but as life is not all days are the same. Sometimes it rains Sometimes it shines. They were good cars but the people who liked them weren't able to afford them at that time & when they do they are discontinued. Like Lexus LFA, Bentley, Volkswagen & many more... This Suzuki too.

[@raceking83]

Fantastic content.. Very happy to see someone talk about this forgotten gem from Suzuki. And spot on with ur analysis. The only thing which killed this car was the brand image associated with Suzuki. People could never even imagine that a company which makes small, cheap and economical cars can actually make something like this which could actually give a Honda Accord a run for its money! But then, this wasn't the first experiment from Suzuki in India. They had also launched a proper SUV (the original Grand Vitara XL7), which came with a 2.8L V6 petrol engine which was a beast back in the day! But unfortunately that car flopped as well!! Hope u make a video about that car as well.....😊

[@srk_mithipati]

They did learn from those mistakes and have created a new branding technique with NEXA.

Ur actually wrong there. This car was suzukis response to the honda civic and not accord. This is a d segment sedan.

Kizashi was my daily drive for 4 years. Everything was brilliant about this car till parts began to give way. With the money I spent on this car I could have easily bought another small size car. But still Kizashi has a place in my heart.

are spares available here now or we need to import? Is it a good idea to get a kizashi used now?

Especially since all cars are atleast 10 years old and need to be scrapped soon because of the sad govt policy. I had to sell my sx4 for the same reason. It was still(15 year old) better than most modern "BUDGET" cars under 7-8 lacs and had a bigger engine.

[@s2tp97]

Pricing killed Kizashi. For anyone who wants to buy used one should know that Maruti imports each and every spare part of Kizashi and OG Grand Vitara directly from Japan. Not a single part is manufactured in India. Which means that spare parts are available, but extremely expensive.

[@tjk4929]

I still remember how big a fan I was about this car! Golden days when I used to wait for my auto india magazine to see this car✨❤️

[@aarpie]

One more issue with the car (in India, and probably across the world as well) was that spare parts were not available locally and for any issue, the part had to be imported which used to take a month min. This added to concerns of the buyer.

[@funnymakerboy4199]

I have seen Suzuki's Kizashi two-three times, it was a very nice car.

[@mkm1811]

In my pov, the main reason why Kishazi failed was because Suzuki did not launch any vehicle to compete with Honda Civic/Toyota Corolla, thus jumping a whole segment. Their brand image did not command such a high price.

[@user-id5fo5fv8r]

You were wrong in one point. Suzuki cars are very popular in European countries. I've seen personally that Suzuki Swift is an extremely popular car in European countries like France, Switzerland etc. also the wagon r is also popular.

[@DebabrataAcharya93]

The problem with Suzuki and Kizashi is lack of perseverance. They wanted to change years brand image with just one car and then gave up. They needed to stick to this plan for at least with a few car models before concluding it a success or failure.

[@user-jn7bq8wh1e]

Suzuki parent co is still in existence because of Suzuki India...they don't have much money...if they go bankrupt even Japan govt won't be able to bail them out as they have a 270% debt over their GDP! So they're playing safe.. Perhaps with the current Toyota Collab they may bring out independent new cars in another decade Let's see🤞

[@deepakbisht4957]

You know better than a company CEO?? Do you even understand how hard it is to make car brands and and even after becoming a successful car brand you know how hard for them to take a major shift if they are already making money from one strategy.. The automobile industry is no joke. One wrong move and even a well established company can be bankrupt...

[@vishnupillai300]

Hirotoko ono,the man who was destined to lead Suzuki globally unexpectedly passed away..He was groomed to be the successor of the brand.So Osamu suzuki returned as the head of the company.Also the partnership with VW in europe and GM in US failed.Only their fiat parnership in India worked.. Also Osamu always cared about small cars.So there was a shift in the company policy when he returned as head. Now its his son Toshihiro leading the company..But he is also kind of conservative like his father.But at a time when the automobile industry is witnessing some big changes its not easy for a company like Suzuki to survive..So obviously some cost saving measures are taken like pulling out of Moto GP and not to invest in diesels , saving unnecessary expenses..Also their partneship with Toyota a trusted partner unlike the western companies was a strategic move and may help them sail through the challenges of current automotive scenario..

Suzuki cars getting five stars safety ratings is something the new gen kids will never know. I heard somewhere that the SX4 was a toned down version of the Kizashi. Suzuki tried really hard to change their image with the Grand Vitara & the Kizashi but at that time, people couldn't digest Suzuki's ambitions. Thanks for reminding us about a gem from Suzuki.

[@abhia1311]

SX4 and Kizhashi itself was designed by Italian Design bureau. As a result of Joint Venture between Suzuki and Fiat. There is a Fiat twin of SX4, that is called Fiat Sedici, This is the time when Fiat engines powering Suzuki cars really started. Also, later years Linea too has similarity with SX4. They were all designed by Italians. I drove SX4 a few months back. It felt similar in layout, visibility, window layout etc to my Fiat Linea.

[@honda_fanboy]

This was the only case I am aware of where the audience was wrong and not the company. If this car received good numbers, it would have been the direction Suzuki could've headed.

[@HTrntrs]

As you mentioned we also got this car in Pakistan, I remember that in 2016 Suzuki discontinued it & I became disheartened as even of today whenever I see this car it just stands out. The shape is so timeless like I've spent hours wondering how did the engineers design it so perfectly. But at the same time we have to keep in mind that most of the buyers keep few things in mind. Resale, maintenance & fuel consumption. Ofc being a new car One couldn't be so sure of its resale, maintenance-wise it was a suzuki so it was reliable but parts were expensive considering the emblem of the car. Fuel consumption was neither bad or good as it was in the category of camry & Accord so the consumption was more or less the same. Now as most of the buyers tend to be in the middle class, the car at that time was priced @ round about 6M pkr, in the same amount you could've gotten an A4, 1.8tfsi. And almost 2 Accords or Camrys. So imo it's pricing was the reason it had to be discontinued. I hope Suzuki comes out with such a bomb car in future as it still has place in hearts of many.

[@arrai515]

A few months back when I saw this car in real life at first i thought I saw a desire but looked closely and realised it's completely another thing which I was unheard of. I really liked the car even though it was old. Good things are only meant to be remembered after they are gone i guess.😅

My fist Palio 1.6 real sports gives me mileage of 6.5 to 7 in cities. I never complain. On long highways it gives me 13… on short highways (about an hour) it gives me 11. I am still driving it. I bought new in 2006 when everyone told me not to. I liked the looks, the engine sound and true 100bhp. Note that VVT engines are not true power engines. They are more like 70bhp in lower rpm and gives 100bhp only in high rpms. I think kizashi looks killed it. It just doesn’t look like performance car. Also, launch year was unlucky.

[@sriram181]

As a kid , i used to love seeing this bombshell on the road and used to sketch up kizashis on my drawing book in school and in my school bus .

This was a proper well built sedan by Suzuki, quality of the vehicle was similar to Corolla, Camry by Toyota. I later read that it was made in Japan and imported here that's why the quality was good. Sad that people didn't appreciate it. Very few people bought it back in the day.

[@deepakbisht4957]

Well there is a huge difference between appreciating a car and buying that car for yourself. As most people buy a car 3-4 times max in their lifetime and for these types of purchase you go for a tested and reliable option...

[@ankitjoshi3818]

You are right, because of the brand image Kizashi didn't get famous. This was the one of the good management case studies that the mindset of maruti Suzuki as an organisation that only fuel efficient cars will get famous in India was wrong. So they have come with NEXA as a separate brand name to launch some different cars in India in the luxurious segment in India. You can search about why Maruti Suzuki has launched NEXA separately.

When I saw Kizashi, I was unimpressed by its looks , where as I really loved how SX4 looked. Point being....Kizashi barely looked a C segment car whereas it was trying to compete with D segment Cars like Accord and Camry, Kizashi didn't had any road presence

[@abhia1311]

Please make a video on another totally above the segment feel car - Fiat Linea with a T-Jet turbo petrol Engine. It was my drive for 8 years. The car is really above the game in everyway except utility storage compared to others. It is really unfortunate Fiat couldn't give better service and change brand image. Many parts were imported , hence even though car is 12 lakh but its parts were costing similar to a BMW or Mercedes. Brake rotor+pad replacement wit OEM costs more than 30k. a flywheel costs 45k, a clutch cylinder + clutch plate costs 22k . spark plug costs 5k. etc etc etc. a simple bush costs 2k- 3k where other local brands will cost 300-400 rs. But no regrets, the driving on that car is different ball game.

[@nachiketnaik1986]

I had the same feeling with Kizsshi...❤

[@rupam922]

In my childhood, growing up I was very fascinated by cars (as we didn't have any). So, I used to collect all the car pictures from newspapers and magazines sometimes from school library. I saw the car Kizashi the concept-1 red colored one, and I was awestruck to its looks. I was naive enough to not understand that these are concepts and not for production but I felt that this car is going to be seen on the roads and it'd be crazy. I loved the looks so much so that only car from that collection I can now remember is this Kizashi concept1. Then by age this collecting habit phased off and a couple of years later, when I saw Kizashi on the roads in India I still loved the cars looks and it had special place in my heart (till this day)

[@c63w204W]

I used to do the same thing with the newspapers, in fact I had a diary full of pictures of cars, and even the Kizashi.

[@djdevani5625]

Ask why? Because Maruti is not involved in making it. It was an already existing model sold outside.. the reason it had all the bells and whistles was that it was never meant to be seen on Indian market..

[@vikramk3806]

Kizashi was ahead of time performance car from Suzuki during the tough financial period. A friend purchased it with my help and thus I got to drive it too. Powerful, fuel guzzler if one used its power and made many D-segment cars eat dust. Sadly Suzuki withdrew its support and it's still with my friend driven with nostalgia....

[@pat21495]

I still read the 2010 autocar magazine every once in a while that I have kept just because it has the Kizashi in it.

[@amoghhampiholi820]

Even marketing plays an important role when it comes to launching your halo/flagship cars. Audi nailed this formula with the R8 and look where they are now. Kizashi and Nano failed for this reason, along with company image.

[@prateekchauhan3104]

Once upon a time I saw a red Kizashi in a newspaper advertisement when I was small. It was a beautiful car for me to see as a kid from Suzuki when we used to fancy the names of Mercedes and BMW. That image still remains in my mind till date...

[@commentwithoutfilter]

Did you miss on the 4X4 feature. This was standard except for the base variant. Not sure if India got the base variant. Later when Maruti launched SX4, it looked like an affordable version of Kizashi. It was a dream car for many enthusiasts during its launch. Also there was a mental block for buyers to pour more than 15 - 20 lakh for a sedan if it was not a Merc, BMW Audi etc. This can be gauged by the numbers for Accord, Camry & Kizashi sold.

Similar happened again with S Cross, which was rated 5 stars in Euro NCAP. Designed in Italy with aerodynamics by the same firm which designs Lamborghini. Introduced with two engine options .1.6 for enthusiasts, produced in Europe. 1.3 DDIS was the best implementation of Fiat multijet (National Engine of India) with highest in segment fuel efficiency. Still S Cross didn't enjoy the success and appreciation it deserved. Maybe slightly ahead in time just before the Crossover market boom in India.

The only regret I have is I never saw enough of it on the roads.

[@amitavakala1757]

When you asked the question @1:10, I guessed the answer and I was right. Suzuki's main enemy is Suzuki itself. It will be extremely difficult for Suzuki to break the image of small car manufacturer. May be, they should have done very aggressive advertisement. Maybe they should have given first 5-6 free through lottery or to few selected celebrities. Maybe they did, do not know, never heard about this car before. It may be completely unrelated, but I just remembered how Kellog was persistent in making cornflakes popular in India. It probably took a decade to do so. Kellog definitely was very strong financially and they were steadfast, and their product had/has some value, which they believed strongly.

I love this car so much so i wanted to buy it but couldn’t find one so had to buy scross 1.5 and tuned it to stage 2

I was once overtaken by this car while on a scooter. I thought it was some crazy powerful Ciaz lol. Great story. Ironically Suzuki could have become something completely unique had it not been so successful in India, which ultimately stereotyped it as a practical car maker.

New dzire from side and back does carry little touches from kizashi i feel!❤

Sir , could you please also make a video on nissan teana , which was also launched at that time , it also had a similar pricing and power as kizashi . it aslo had two sunroofs and seats with under thai support and good looks . But inspite of having so many features and being value for money it failed in India . what could be the reasons behind it .I hope you will make a video on this car and solve my queries . thank you

Mileage is too low. But yes if they can provide the same power using today's technology and Kizashi's build quality i think some people are gonna buy that especially considering the rise of good build quality cars like Tata

[@vamshiganji289]

Most of the people doesn't even know one such car with this name existed.

Should relaunch Kizashi with Nexa.. they did it with Baleno and it was superhit.

Suzuki kizashi and Grand Vitara (old version) were imported.
