NEW YORK (April 19, 2011) – American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC) unveiled a gas-electric concept variant of its Kizashi sedan at the company's 2011 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) press conference this evening. With the moniker Kizashi EcoCharge Concept, this innovative and eye-catching four-door further illustrates Suzuki's global eco-mobility story, and accentuates the company's effort in socially-conscious motoring.

'We are continuing to study the virtues of the gas-electric technology found in the Kizashi EcoCharge Concept,' said Steve Younan, director of automotive marketing and product planning for American Suzuki Motor Corporation. 'Our basic concept was to attain substantial gains in fuel economy without the traditional sacrifices in drivability required wîth today's mid-size hybrid sedans. The proof of our concept is that the Kizashi EcoCharge has the capability to deliver a 25 percent fuel economy gain in real-world driving through an electric charge to the powertrain system while still retaining the production Kizashi's dynamic handling and braking advantages that make it a standout category performer.'
