Available in black, silver and white and it will take up to 8 weeks for your Kizashi to be delivered from the time of booking.

Maruti Suzuki India Managing Executive Officer (Marketing & Sales) Mayank Pareek -

This (Kizashi) is our attempt to be future ready, as we believe the A4 and A5 segment (luxury) is going to grow. It is small at the moment but the way the economy is growing, this segment is going to be big. In another 5-7 years time, this volume is going to be big and to sustain our leadership position in the market we are looking at this segment seriously. There are nine million Maruti Suzuki customers at present. Many of them want to move up and have been asking after the SX4, what next? What we are doing here is to provide them options in luxury segment.

The company will observe the demand for the Kizashi and then ponder over the idea of assembling it locally. There was no time frame mentioned, but if the response is good, expect it to roll out of Manesar or Gurgaon.

We have no doubts that initially there will be a good number of takers for the Kizashi, but will that dream period prolong to an extent that local assembly is justified? Maruti is struggling to sell the SX4 in India, the need of the hour is a diesel engine to eat into Verna, Fiesta and Vento’s numbers. How many Skoda, VW, Honda and Toyota customers are going to be interested in checking out the Kizashi?

Fast Fact – Indian Autos Blog’s first post on the Kizashi came on September 3, 2008.

CNBC TV-18 is reporting that Maruti Suzuki is set to launch its Kizashi luxury saloon into the Indian car market on the 28th of next month. The Kizashi is Suzuki’s first luxury saloon and will be Maruti Suzuki’s first ever offering in the entry level luxury saloon space.

The Kizashi will be launched with both manual and automatic transmission options, But there’s a twist. Contrary to earlier reports, Deccan Herald claims the Kizashi will not feature the 2.4-liter, inline-four, petrol powerplant pumping out 185 bhp of power and 230 Nm of torque.

It instead will be powered using a 2.0-liter petrol engine with slightly less power and torque.

Due to reasons of cost, the Indian Kizashi is most likely to be offered only in Front Wheel Drive (FWD) guise, unlike international markets where an All Wheel Drive (AWD) version is also offered. Maruti Suzuki could launch the AWD version of the Kizashi at a later date, to take on the mighty Skoda Superb 3.6 V6 AWD.

Considering the rivals (Skoda Superb, Honda Accord) awaiting the Kizashi once its launched, Maruti is considering pricing the Kizashi a bit aggressively in the 18-20 lakh price bracket, which will place the Kizashi smack bang in Skoda Superb territory. Such pricing could also give the Kizashi a leg up on its other rival, the Honda Accord.

But, will the weight of the Maruti brand rein in the Kizashi from setting sales charts on fire or will it propel it to the top of the leader board? Only time will tell.

Maruti Suzuki India will not compromise until it sees a huge market share and not letting monthly sales below 100000. The company said today that it will introduce a diesel variant of its premium sedan SX4 with a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine by Jan-Feb 2011.

The company has also announced that it might assemble the Kizashi model at its Gurgaon facility based on the demand it creates in India.

Coming to the turbocharged diesel engine will have many additional features highlighting the important ones those are efficient than the normal engines and will also generate more power output respectively.

Currently, MSI is sourcing diesel engines from Fiat for its diesel variants of Swift, DZire and Ritz with its normal 1.3-liter engines.

M M Singh has said that “it will be launched very soon”.

Will MSI assemble Kizashi locally?

MSI Managing Director Shinzo Nakanishi said: “This segment is very small and I am not expecting much volume. If volume increases, then we can look to assembly as a completely knocked down option.”

Singh said if the company decides to assemble Kizashi in India, it will be done at the Gurgaon facility.

Let’s wait for more information to pour-in until this year end, once we finish celebrating this New Year, then Car manufactures will start launching their cars like a rocket on a fire which will enlighten all of us.

Autocar India Editor, Hormazd Sorabjee has revealed in a tweet on his twitter page that Maruti Suzuki is set to launch the Kizashi luxury saloon in January 2011, in the Indian car market.

The Kizashi is Suzuki’s flagship model internationally and is also the most expensive Suzuki product worldwide. The Kizashi will carry the distinction of being the most expensive Suzuki product in India as well.

The Kizashi will be powered by a 2.4 litre petrol engine pumping out 185 bhp and 230 Nm, of power and torque respectively. The car is available internationally in both manual and automatic options, but we will have to wait and watch as to which transmission option is launched in India and at this point, the automatic transmission is the anticipated one. The Kizashi is also available in an All Wheel Drive (AWD) variant internationally, but it is highly unlikely that this version will be launched in India.

The Kizashi will be brought in through the Completely Built Unit (CBU) route initially, but Maruti could consider local assembly from Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kits, if the sales volumes are good. The Kizashi could be priced between 17-24 lakh rupees.

It will also be interesting to see whether the Kizashi is badged as a Maruti Suzuki or simply Suzuki like Maruti Suzuki’s lone CBU offering, the Grand Vitara. The car may carry only the Suzuki badge as the Maruti badge is too closely associated with all the small car offerings from the Maruti Suzuki stable.
