Consumer Guide
In a Kizashi with the six-speed manual, TheCarConnection.com observed 27 miles per gallon over more than 150 miles of varied driving, much of it quite spirited. We saw 23 mpg in a mix of driving, in both a manual-transmission Kizashi Sport and a CVT- and all-wheel-drive-equipped Kizashi S.
The fuel economy figures (especially those official EPA estimates) are lower than expected, especially considering that the Kizashi isn't geared particularly low, and it has a lower curb weight than virtually all mid-size sedans.
Conclusion: The 2011 Suzuki Kizashi is a little disappointing here, with lower fuel-economy figures than a number of larger mid-size sedans.
