\n<\/p>\n
A new Suzuki Swift will head up the brand\u2019s 2023 Tokyo Motor Show stars later this month, alongside an electric 4×4 and several \u2018Kei\u2019 car concepts, as the maker presents \u201cdiverse initiatives toward a carbon-neutral future\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the time of writing, we\u2019ve been issued with just a single image of the new Suzuki Swift. The picture shows subtle tweaks to the current car\u2019s styling, with a new grille design and fresh headlights. Strictly speaking a concept for the time being, it\u2019s thought to preview the facelifted supermini due in 2024. A clamshell bonnet meets a pronounced shoulder line, while a two-tone roof and black door mirrors further separate it from its predecessor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Suzuki is teeing up an updated version of the eVX \u2013 a 310-mile EV concept unveiled at Auto Expo 2023 in India earlier this year. This 4.3m-long electric car\u2019s design is said to have evolved slightly, while Suzuki will also use the Tokyo show to reveal the 4×4\u2019s interior for the first time. The manufacturer says the eVX will offer a \u201ctrue Suzuki SUV driving experience by further evolving the electronically-controlled 4×4 technologies\u201d.<\/p>\n
The third car of interest is the Suzuki eWX \u2013 a small electric concept car that conforms with Japan\u2019s stringent Kei car regulations. That means it measures less than 3.4m long and 1.48m wide, with Suzuki claiming the eWX \u201csupports people\u2019s daily lives\u201d with compact dimensions and \u201clight and user-friendly cabin space\u201d. The maker is claiming a 230km (143-mile) range.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Suzuki will show a series of additional Kei concepts \u2013 also targeted at the Japanese domestic market. These include the Spacia Concept and Spacia Custom Concept, as well as the e EVERY CONCEPT, a dinky battery-electric van jointly developed with Toyota. Featuring vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, this model is capable of a claimed 124-mile range.<\/p>\n
Completing Suzuki\u2019s line-up on its show stand will be a variety of mobility solutions; a motorised wheelchair and the four-legged MOQBA, which is capable of climbing steps. The brand will also present a selection of prototype mopeds and the Suzuki GO! \u2013 a joystick-operated rideable walking frame.<\/p>\n
