The 2010 Kizashi is the all-new flagship of Suzuki's U.S. lineup, a sedan focusing on performance, all-weather capability, and upscale interior appointments. It's sized right between what we consider compact and mid-size in the U.S. market, though with a long 106-inch wheelbase, its cabin is almost as spacious as that of mid-size mainstays like the Toyota Camry or Nissan Altima.
