While some might see the styling as being too Japanese (it is actually!), the fact of the matter is that the Suzuki Regina concept is one of the coolest we saw at the Tokyo Motors Show. It’s impressively fresh, with its floating glass console and retro looks, so we thing the company would do well to put it into production and make sure it’s got plenty of premium appeal.
Suzuki has said that the Regina is a preview to a next generation small car for the global market. The focus here is on ultra-efficient engines and reducing the overall weight of the car as much as possible. Peugeot is doing much the same thing with the 208, so the Japanese might be on to something.
The concept is small and only weighs 730 kg, despite being filled with content. So the 800 cc turbocharged engine should have no problem doing the 32 km/l (72 mpg or 3,1 l/100km) that the manufacturer claims.
