Reports surfaced on Monday that Suzuki had shelved its Kizashi sedan plans, but the Japanese automaker responded today by statement those reports were erroneous. In a statement released on Tuesday, Suzuki claims its Kizashi program has not been delayed or canceled and that the mid-size sedan is still on track for the U.S. market.
Japanâs Nikkei business daily first reported the Kizashi program was in limbo earlier this week, but a Suzuki spokesman told Automotive News on Tuesday that the report was incorrect. “The production version will debut at this year’s New York Auto Show in April,” Suzuki spokesman Jeff Holland said.
Holland failed to mention when the Kizashi would hit U.S. showrooms, but every announcement is expected at the New York show.
The news that the Kizashi sedan is still on is a relief to Suzukiâs dealers as the automakerâs current lineup is a little thin. The Kizashi â although the sedanâs name could change for production â will likely be Suzukiâs largest volume model, competing in the fiercely competitive mid-size sedan segment.
