This vehicle has made a surprising splash since its recent launch. A mid-size sedan, of which three trim levels exist, the Kizashi features a very accessible starting price. As of 2011, the Sport version gets a manual gearbox, while the S and SX AWD come with a CVT. A 180-hp 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine equips all three. This newcomer has plenty to seduce buyers! And it is very roomy for a car this size.
