Todas las im�genes del Suzuki Kizashi EcoCharge Concept

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 eyecatching 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 with today�s mid-size hybrid sedans. The proof of our concept is that the Kizashi EcoCharge has the capability to deliver a 25% 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.�



Kizashi Powertrain Electrification
The Kizashi EcoCharge Concept derives power from a 2.0-litre inline-four gasoline engine, working in tandem with an advanced electric propulsion system, which consists of a liquid-cooled 15-kW motor/generator unit tied to a 115-volt air-cooled lithium-ion battery. The combination optimises fuel economy and delivers an electric power boost during acceleration for a more spirited driving experience. The Kizashi EcoCharge Concept delivers a 25% lift to highway fuel economy over today�s Kizashi.

To help maximise efficiency, the Kizashi EcoCharge Concept also utilises numerous fuel-conserving technologies, including regenerative braking, automatic engine shut-off when the car comes to a stop, fuel cut-off during deceleration events and low-rolling resistance tyres Power management is provided via an advanced six-speed automatic transmission designed for smooth operation and a seamless flow of power when called upon by the driver.

Simple, But Striking Exterior Styling
The exterior of the Kizashi EcoCharge Concept is highlighted by a unique luminescent white satin paint design with a subtle blue undercoat. To further set the concept apart from its production Kizashi sibling, it has been given a specialised headlight treatment, as well as LED foglight illumination integrated into the front fascia. The lightweight aluminium wheels communicate a futuristic feel, and are wrapped in lowrolling resistance tires.

Eco-friendly Interior
Within, the Kizashi EcoCharge Concept utilises advanced seat materials. These materials require 84 percent less energy to produce, and create 80 percent fewer emissions than virgin material production.
