And I want these!

Can you show us the button panel with the front/rear sensor switch and headlight washer switch (if separate)?

Same can be said about Southern California.
Or India.
I thought Suzuki was huge in India with the Swift, Alto, and etc. I read that they have about 40% of the entire market there with Maruti/Suzuki.

2.4 ltrs Engine
Automatic 6 gear CVT transmission
4 cylinder
Front wheel drive

Other amenities about the same with other country
So no All Wheel Drive or 6 speed manual in Malaysia?
Looks like you have the front parking sensors, headlight washers, and possibly HID headlights. None of those were offered in North America, but are seen in other markets like Europe and Asia.

The Kizashi was only offered in one engine anywhere so we all have the 2.4 liter inline 4 cylinder (J24B) engine.

The CVT's "6 gears" are not gears, but ratio presets for the CVT's pulleys to mimic gear shifts.
You are right KuroNekko....no AWD but equipped with front parking sensors, headlight washers, and possibly HID headlights.
The sound system also without Rockford Fosgate which offered in North America

More like 60% - lots of small cars, the Swift Dezire (looks like an SX4 with a trunk - UGLY) is the largest Suzuki car I've seen there. You always have a Suzuki car in your field of view it seems.

Thank you! It's interesting because the sensor switch is the same as for those of us that just have the rear.

But now I know what that blank panel in ours is for--headlight washers! And that blank panel in yours is for the AWD/FWD switch on the AWD models. 8-)

Thank you! I look forward to comparing them with the NA and Aussie spec. 8-)

This community rocks! Where else can you compare different models all around the world in a single thread? NO WHERE!

It's probably higher than 60% because of all the classic Esteems running around and the vans, but there's a lot of competition from Hyundai that's made an impact on Suzuki's monopoly.

They are a dominant brand for sure, but they're looked at like GM or Ford here. Toyota Camrys and Accords are like Mercedes, and Mercedes and other German marques are like exotics here.
