Suzuki MPV

Suzuki sales weakened in recent years make the management needs to make new breakthroughs. Suzuki was secretly preparing a new product to compete with the current best-selling products, namely Avanza-Xenia.

Yoshiji Terada, President Director of PT Indomobil Suzuki Motor (SIM), said there were plans to launch multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) new. "The price we wanted under the USD 150 million per unit. It could compete with existing," he said in Jakarta last weekend.

Reportedly the model will use the platform from the Suzuki Concept R3 which was first exhibited in India, earlier this year. When asked about this, Terada did not give a definite answer and just nodded.

The plan, this prototype will go to Indonesia for the first time and exhibited at the International Indonesia Motor Show 2010, the end of July.

100 million U.S. dollars

For the realization of this product, go Terada, investment is needed at least 100 million U.S. dollars. Currently planning is still done in Japan and there has been no final decision.

If the project is finished scrolling, SIM plans to expand the capacity of its factory in Tambun, Bekasi, are currently only 100,000 units per year will be doubled, 200,000 units per year.

"The funding of 100 million U.S. dollars was only for the preparation of products, not including additional production capacity. If that's for sure, the investment will grow again," says Terada.

This year, Suzuki will be able to penetrate the target sales of 70,000 units. While the 2011 figure is expected to touch the maximum production capacity of 100,000 units.

"There are two options. If additional production capacity to be done, first had to build new factories or assembly facility moved motorcycles. All of it is still possible and not break. Depending principals instruction later," adds Terada.

"This new plan loh ya, we still take care of her letters in order to come to Indonesia and exhibited in IIMS," he continued. But surely the presence of the Suzuki Kizashi have a plan to sell this mid sedan in Indonesia. Especially when we see, Suzuki did not have a line-up after Suzuki Neo Baleno Sedan didiscontinue 2010 early this year.

"Who would not want to have a line-up sedan. Moreover, we have vacancies in the sedan class. But the thing is, we have never seen or read the response in the Indonesian market for this model. Well, IIMS 2010 is all we see the public interest in this model, "explained Endro.

"At IIMS we may do small-scale research," he added. As a global product, the Suzuki Kizashi itself is already sold in several countries in Europe and America. This Sedan lift 2400cc petrol engine, 4 cylinder, with a maximum power reaches 178 hp

"But it's a special edition, there are some additions and changes, price increases definitely going to happen, just wait for sure," lid Endro.

Suzuki Kizashi

Indonesian International Motor Show event certainly will not pass up by PT Indomobil Suzuki Sales. Then if the Japanese manufacturers will be displaying their new models?

Such changes are usually called a face lift and not for the all-new model.

Hence also, claimed fuel consumption more efficient, 20 km / liter. Suzuki also offers a 1.3-liter diesel engine with fuel consumption of 23.8 km / liter.

Talk to the car body, the new Swift is using a stronger steel. This car is even lighter and stronger claim than the current version. Design under the body is also better. Another addition, body structure in this last model is safer for pedestrians and passengers.

Suzuki Kizashi topples 200 mph at Bonneville for new Land Speed Record

The ASMC modified 2010 Suzuki Kizashi Bonneville Special has now entered the record books, as it achieved a 203.720 mph run at this year's Bonneville Speed Week, exceeding the previous record of 202.301 mph. The 203.720 mph record was achieved by calculating the average of a two-way pass on August 18, 2010.

To get to the record-setting speed, the Bonneville Special Kizashi used a Turbonetics turbocharger at 16 psi and an air-to-water intercooler to boost the 2.4-liter four-cylinder over 500 horsepower. Other modifications included a new intake manifold, a tuned 'long tube' header and forged rods and pistons for high rpm endurance, a new set of coilover shocks, seam welded steel wheels, high-speed Goodyear tires, an air dam for better aerodynamics at speed, a parachute system to slow the car, and a dual fire system in the event of a mishap.

Technical Specifications � 2010 Suzuki Kizashi Bonneville Special

Engine: 2.4 liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, 16-valve DOHC engine
Turbo Boost: 16 psi (Turbonetics)
Horsepower: 383 kW @ 7,700 rpm
Torque: 698 Nm @ 5,500 rpm
Transmission: 6-speed manual

The Japanese company is set to launch the Suzuki Kizashi AWD in Australia next month but there is confirmation of a turbocharged or V6 variants just yet. Either way, the capacity of the Kizashi to perform such a task goes to show the car has the right chassis and build quality to be a solid performer in the medium-size sportcar market.






Press Release

Suzuki Kizashi Tops 200 mph Mark, Breaks Land Speed Record at Bonneville

Suzuki sport sedan and Road & Track's Sam Mitani rewrite record books in Blown Gas Coupe (F-BGC) category.

WENDOVER, Utah, Aug. 18 - Piloting American Suzuki Motor Corporation's (ASMC) modified 2010 Suzuki Kizashi Bonneville Special, Road & Track's Sam Mitani injected the Kizashi into the record books (and himself in the 200 mph club) with his 203.720 mph run at this year's Bonneville Speed Week, exceeding the previous record of 202.301 mph. Despite a multitude of records - and record attempts - achieved by Suzuki motorcycle riders, this was the first official crack at the Bonneville Salt Flats by American Suzuki's automotive arm.

Conditions for the Kizashi's record-setting Bonneville run were exactly as the build team, Advanced Product Engineering's Richard Holdener, Tom Habrzyk and Scott Bailey, expected. With temperatures topping 100 degrees, the Kizashi was running at a density altitude on the flats of 6,303 feet. After passing inspection, the 2010 Kizashi provided Mitani, Road & Track's international editor, a perfect platform for qualifying with the Southern California Timing Association (SCTA), the sanctioning club for all Bonneville records. The 203.720 mph record was achieved by calculating the average of a two-way pass at 8:40 a.m. MT on August 18, 2010.

2010 Suzuki Kizashi Bonneville Special

Beginning with interior safety and instrument modifications, the Suzuki Kizashi Bonneville Special underwent additional refinements to make it salt-ready. Once the work was completed, the team installed the SCTA-approved roll cage, an aluminum bulkhead in the rear, racing seat, seat harnesses and window net. Next, it was time to take a look under the hood. The motor was disassembled to confirm the stock measurements, while the cylinder head was flowed and ported. The Kizashi Bonneville racer benefits from a new intake manifold, a tuned 'long tube' header and forged rods and pistons for high rpm endurance.

With up to 16 pounds of boost from a Turbonetics turbocharger, the Kizashi's increased horsepower required air-to-water intercooling (and snow water/methanol injection) - while its increased output demands a new ACT clutch and pressure plate. A scattershield is added, the oil pan is welded for a new drain fitting and a new 3.5-inch exhaust is fabricated aft of the turbocharger. Additional protection for the high-boost, high-rpm turbo motor is provided by full synthetic 5W-20 racing oil from Lucas Oil.

The Kizashi platform - and its Nurburgring heritage - is morphed into a salt-specific recipe with new coilovers, steel wheels seam welded, and speed-specific 15x7-inch Goodyear Front Runner� rubber. An air dam keeps the Kizashi's nose planted, window straps and hood pins ensure the hood and glass stay in place, and a parachute can bring the high speed show to a controlled and shortened stop. Finally, a dual fire system provides the extra assurance so important for Mitani, with more than 500 boosted horses but only a few feet in front of his high-speed capsule.
