You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Etymology==
''Kizashi'' (In kanji: 兆) is a Japanese word which means "something great is coming", "omen", "sign", or "warning".

==Description and models==
[[File:Suzuki Kizashi rear 20100717.jpg|thumb|left|Rear view]]

Available transmissions are a 6-speed [[manual transmission|manual]] (FWD only) or a [[continuously variable transmission]] (CVT).<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.wheels.ca/Small/Compact/article/782948 |title=2011 Suzuki Kizashi: Mid-size sedan a giant leap |publisher=Wheels.ca |access-date=2010-05-01 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110517034008/http://www.wheels.ca/Small/Compact/article/782948 |archive-date=2011-05-17 ))</ref> The Kizashi offers 17 and 18-inch alloy wheels, Akebono sourced brakes, a choice of cloth or leather seating surfaces, and a 425-watt Rockford Fosgate audio system with [[iPod]] connectivity and [[Bluetooth]] capability (some models do not provide Bluetooth capability). [[Four-wheel drive|All-wheel drive]] (AWD) (based on the i-AWD system featured in the [[Suzuki SX4|SX4]]) is optional and includes a driver-activated FWD mode to save fuel.

==Safety==
[[File:2010 Suzuki Kizashi (FR) Sport sedan (2010-10-16).jpg|thumb|Interior]]The Kizashi comes standard with antilock brakes, traction and stability control, front and rear side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. An enhanced stability control system is included with the available all-wheel drive.

The Kizashi has a 5-star safety rating from [[Australasian New Car Assessment Program|ANCAP]].

==Awards==
In 2010 and 2011, Kizashi won two AutoPacific's annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards for overall satisfaction among all new midsize cars sold or leased in the United States.

In 2011, Suzuki Kizashi named Best Buy by ''[[Consumers Digest]]''.

In December 2010, the Kizashi won two motoring awards in New Zealand: the Supreme Winner in the 2010 AA Motoring Excellence Awards<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.aa.co.nz/about/events-affiliations/motoring-excellence-awards/updates/2010-winners|title=Suzuki Kizashi Supreme Winner in the 2010 AA Motoring Excellence Awards|publisher=NZ Automobile Association))</ref> and the ''New Zealand Herald'' Car of the Year Award.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/motoring/news/article.cfm?c_id=9&objectid=10693387|title=Suzuki Kizashi – Japanese for Perfection|publisher=NZ Herald, 10 December 2010))</ref> The car was praised for its astonishing attention to detail, refinement and comfort.((citation needed|date=March 2011))

===India===
[[Maruti Suzuki]], 54.2% owned by [[Suzuki Motor Corporation]], launched the Maruti Kizashi on February 2, 2011. It is imported as a Completely Built Unit (CBU), which attracts import duties of 105%. It was priced at around 16 to 17.5 lakh rupees.<ref>[http://www.zigwheels.com/news-features/recent-launches/maruti-suzuki-kizashi-launched/7487/1 Maruti Suzuki Kizashi Launched], Zigwheels.com, 2 February 2011.</ref> It has since been withdrawn from the Indian market due to poor sales.((citation needed|date=February 2020))

This model has a J24B 2.4-litre petrol engine with 4 cylinders, 16 valves DOHC. The 2400&nbsp;cc engine is capable of producing ((Convert|185|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on)) at 6,500 rpm (manual transmission) and ((Convert|180|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on)) at 6,000 rpm (CVT). It produces ((Convert|170|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on)) of torque at 4,000 rpm. The Maruti Kizashi utilizes a direct ignition system for increased [[fuel efficiency]] with decreased emissions. With the help of this and other engine technologies, the car gives 9&nbsp;km/L in the city and 12&nbsp;km/L on the highway. The fuel tank capacity of the car is 63 L. Maruti Suzuki though, has not been able to sell many units since the Kizashi is petrol only (running a petrol car in India is expensive compared to a diesel), and the fact that it is expensive there.

===Pakistan===
The last place where the Kizashi was on sale was Pakistan, after it had been removed from other markets. [[Pak Suzuki Motors]], a subsidiary of [[Suzuki Motor Corporation]] in Pakistan, launched the Suzuki Kizashi on February 11, 2015, at [[Pearl Continental Hotel]], [[Lahore]]. It was imported as a Completely Built-up Unit (CBU) with no plans to manufacture it locally. The ex-factory price at launch was PKR 5.0 million.<ref>[http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-3-301349-Suzuki-Kizashi-launched-in-Pakistan Suzuki Kizashi launched in Pakistan], The News, 13 February 2015.</ref><ref>[http://brandsynario.com/suzuki-kizashi-pkr-5-mn-luxury-car-launched-in-pakistan Suzuki 'Kizashi'- PKR 5 Mn Luxury Car Launched in Pakistan], brandsynario, 13 February 2015.</ref>

==Problems==
On June 28, 2010, Suzuki recalled 5,107 model year 2010 Kizashi vehicles due to a [[glove compartment|glove box]] door that failed to comply with FMVSS 201 ("Occupant Protection in Interior Impact") in which the door could open in a crash.

On July 30, 2014, Suzuki recalled an undisclosed number of select model year 2010–2013 Kizashi vehicles manufactured October 2009 through July 2012 as spiders could weave webs into the [[Vehicle emissions control|evaporative canister]] causing it to become blocked and creating excessive negative pressure within the fuel tank. Negative pressure could cause the fuel tank to crack, resulting in a higher risk of fire.<ref>((cite magazine | url = http://www.motortrend.com/cars/2013/suzuki/kizashi/recalls/ | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141031024448/http://www.motortrend.com/cars/2013/suzuki/kizashi/recalls/ | archive-date = 2014-10-31 | title = 2013 Suzuki Kizashi Recalls | magazine = [[Motor Trend]] | publisher = TEN: The Enthusiast Network ))</ref>

;Kizashi EcoCharge

Suzuki's hybrid is powered by a 2.0 L gasoline engine, which is “boosted” by a 15&nbsp;kW belt-driven electric motor to deliver a combined ((Convert|144|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on)) and ((Convert|127|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on)) of torque. The new hybrid drivetrain is further aided in its quest for improved [[fuel efficiency]] by a six-speed automatic transmission, low rolling resistance tires, regenerative braking, and stop-start technology, which add up to a significant mpg improvement compared to the current, “conventional” Suzuki. Steve Younan, director of automotive marketing and product planning for American Suzuki Motor Corporation, says that the company is making plans to move forward with a similar product, and that “the proof of (Suzuki’s) concept is that the Kizashi EcoCharge has the capability to deliver a 25 % fuel economy gain in real-world driving through an electric charge to the powertrain system while still retaining the production Kizashi’s dynamic handling and braking advantages that make it a standout category performer.”<ref name="NYC2011"/>
