Maruti Suzuki Kizashi – The review

When you see only a Suzuki badge on the bootlid and not Maruti Suzuki, you know it’s a direct import. Maruti Suzuki is being very conservative with the Kizashi – it’s a new segment for them and they have not had a good experience with the Grand Vitara. And they are not happy with the sales of the SX4 either – though other manufacturers would be happy with the figures that Maruti Suzuki manages! So, instead of wasting their plant’s capacities on assembling a low-volume product, they have decided to import the Kizashi.

If you book one, it will take you about two months for delivery. And you have a choice of only three colours (black, silver and white), so that Maruti can avoid complex logistics. With the Kizashi, Maruti Suzuki is testing the premium waters. Is it a coincidence that Kizashi means ‘a sign of good things to come’?

Anyway, what’s coming your way is a brief driving impression of the car. Want deeper insights, more information and more stunning photographs of the car? Well, it will be in the February issue of Business Standard Motoring. Let’s go then.
