Fuel filter is inside the gas tank, so it's going to cost quite a bit to replace. Scheduled for 150K miles, 150 months, or 250 kilometers. Unless you have a specific reason to believe that it's a problem, I wouldn't bother with it. Especially if you have the CVT transmission, unlikely it's going to ever see 150K miles.
In the US there is a recall for replacing the gas tank; does that include the fuel filter as well? The recall card mentioned a canister vent hose filter. And did any other Kizashi owners outside of the US get contacted about this recall, or was it just us?

lol...true enough I suppose. I live where Suzuki was an obscure brand from the day they set foot here in the U.S. circa 1986, and, where they haven't had a dealer sales presence for the last, what, 7 years now? Hence the, high (nobody wants to touch it) service costs. DDing takes its toll on appearance so my car is, visually, far from perfect. Mechanically sound though.
