Since its debut at West Herr Auto, the top Suzuki dealership serving Buffalo NY, the Suzuki Kizashi has earned significant praise from automotive media and consumers. With the release of AutoPacific’s 15th annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA), that praise has been validated once again with the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi registering highest in total overall satisfaction among all new purchased or leased midsize cars sold in the United States for the second consecutive year.

“This is another great accomplishment for Suzuki’s product development team,” said Steve Younan, American Suzuki’s director of product planning and marketing. “We are proud of the Kizashi, and this recognition from our owners remains a strong testament to the hard work that our engineers and designers have put into this vehicle.”

Customers at our NY Suzuki dealership serving Buffalo will be happy to know that the Kizashi is Suzuki’s most significant entry to date in the competitive midsize sedan segment. With its Eurocentric handling, high level of standard content and a sub-$20,000 window sticker, Suzuki’s sport sedan is resonating with an audience looking for entry-level luxury without the near-luxury price point. Propelled by a four cylinder, 2.4-liter engine producing 185 horsepower, and connected to a six-speed manual or optional CVT, the Kizashi builds on the global success enjoyed by the company that produces the world-renowned Swift, SX4 Crossover, Grand Vitara compact SUV as well as a celebrated lineup of motorcycles, ATVs and marine engines.

AutoPacific’s Vehicle Satisfaction Award is an industry benchmark for measuring how satisfied an owner is with his/her new vehicle. The study summarizes the results of more than 68,000 new vehicle owners.

The all-wheel drive SX4 Crossover at West Herr Suzuki offers bold youthful styling along with a generous list of standard features for Buffalo Suzuki customers.

For 2011, the Suzuki SX4 family, including the SX4 Crossover, SX4 Sedan and youthful SX4 SportBack, all offer the characteristics the model is best known for: nimble handling of a compact sedan with the full capability of all-wheel drive. Buffalo Suzuki drivers enjoyed the versatility and styling of all models of the SX4 lineup, which embodies the sporty character and award-winning handling found in its European cousin, the Suzuki Swift. And the appeal doesn’t end there, with the 2011 SX4 Crossover, SX4 Sedan and SX4 SportBack offering bold, contemporary styling and a generous list of standard features.

As the core model in what is now a full SX4 lineup that spans everything from sedans to five-doors and both front-wheel drive (FWD) and AWD models, the five-door SX4 Crossover remains America’s least expensive automobile with all-wheel drive and continues to capture media attention and praise.  Buffalo Suzuki drivers can find models of the 2011 Suzuki SX4 at West Herr Suzuki now.

Upgraded Powertrain for Buffalo Suzuki Drivers

The good news for Buffalo Suzuki drivers continues under the hood. Since its introduction, the SX4 has benefited from a full 2.0 liters of displacement. That capacity, a little more than 120 cubic inches, provides a competitive edge when contrasted with the bulk of the SX4’s competitive segment where displacements of 1.6-1.8 liters are more often the norm. With this newest model, however, Suzuki utilizes an all-new 2.0-liter engine, boasting five percent more horsepower and 4 lb.-ft. of additional torque, all while delivering 30 highway miles per gallon. In a larger 2.4-liter displacement version, the same engine architecture is found under the hood of the all-new, stunning and technically advanced 2011 Kizashi.

As before, the 16-valve valvetrain is controlled by dual overhead cams. From the same company building the world’s fastest production motorcycle, one expects competitive performance, and this new 2.0 liter delivers: 150 horsepower at 6,200 rpm in combination with 140 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,500 rpm for manual transmission models (148 hp with CVT). Beyond the numbers are a fluid delivery, instant responsiveness and a much smaller carbon footprint than the reliable predecessor.

Buffalo Suzuki SX4 drivers have the choice of two transmissions: a six-speed manual or an all-new Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). For added convenience, the new CVT optimizes both performance and efficiency via a console-mounted gear selector or paddle shifters, better maintaining the engine’s rpm “sweet spot” over a wide range of both in-town and freeway driving.

As with all the 2011 Suzuki automobiles and light trucks West Herr Suzuki sells the SX4 Crossover is backed by America’s #1 Warranty for Buffalo drivers to include a 100,000-mile/seven-year, fully transferable, zero-deductible powertrain limited warranty.
