Getting engine parts right first time
Suzuki's local range is almost entirely petrol, so there is no diesel-versus-petrol fork to navigate — but the same engine turns up under several different nameplates. The 1.5 K15B alone appears in the Ertiga, Baleno, Ciaz, XL6, Fronx and Brezza, and the 1.0 three-cylinder is shared between the Alto, Celerio and S-Presso. That overlap is your advantage: a donor car need not wear the same badge as yours.
The decision in front of you is usually whether the engine you have is worth repairing or whether a replacement unit gets you back on the road for less total outlay. To get you a straight answer on it we need the code cast into the engine itself or printed on the VIN plate, plus the year of manufacture — on a Suzuki the name on the tailgate will not get you there.
The car
Suzuki Kizashi, year of manufacture, and the derivative if you know it.
The code
VIN or registration number. A photo of the licence disc works just as well.
The problem
What has failed, or what you need replaced. A photo helps for anything cosmetic.
Engine Parts broken down
The code cast into the engine itself or printed on the VIN plate, plus the year of manufacture — on a Suzuki the name on the tailgate will not get you there will settle most of these. Pick the component and we'll confirm the rest.

The Kizashi reached South Africa as the Kizashi, launched in South Africa in 2011 and long since withdrawn, running J24B 2.4. Engine Parts fitment splits on the generation long before it splits on trim. This car sold in tiny numbers here and has been outside the dealer network for years, so anything Kizashi-specific has to be tracked down rather than ordered — the engine is the exception, because it was not exclusive to the model. Find your derivative below, then send the code from the VIN plate with your enquiry.
- Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 SDLX
- Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 SLX
- Suzuki Kizashi 2.4 Sport

Useful to know: the Kizashithe J24B is shared with the 2.4-litre JT Grand Vitara, which is the one place Kizashi sourcing gets easier.
What we check on engine parts
- •The generation code — the Kizashi parts list splits on it
- •Which engine you have; this one was sold with J24B 2.4
- •The code cast into the engine itself or printed on the VIN plate, plus the year of manufacture — on a Suzuki the name on the tailgate will not get you there
- •Where the car sits either side of its facelift
Locally, the Kizashi is mostly kept on the road by owners who like it rather than by anyone who needs it, which means they are willing to wait for the right part instead of accepting an approximation. That is the wear pattern we source against, and it is why we ask what the car does rather than only what it is.
Kizashi Engine Parts FAQs
Does engine parts fitment change across Kizashi generations?
Yes. This car sold in tiny numbers here and has been outside the dealer network for years, so anything Kizashi-specific has to be tracked down rather than ordered — the engine is the exception, because it was not exclusive to the model. With the Kizashi, launched in South Africa in 2011 and long since withdrawn to choose between, engine parts is not something we quote off the model name alone.
Which Kizashi engines were sold here, and does it affect engine parts?
J24B 2.4. Engine Parts fitment often follows the engine family rather than the nameplate, so the code on the block is worth reading before you order.
Could engine parts from another model fit my Kizashi?
It can. The J24B is shared with the 2.4-litre JT Grand Vitara, which is the one place Kizashi sourcing gets easier. That gives us somewhere else to look when engine parts is slow to turn up under the Kizashi name, though we still confirm the match against your VIN first.
