Suzuki Unveils e-Sky Electric Kei Car With 310-Kilometre Range
Suzuki has introduced a small electric car called the e-Sky.
It is built using the size rules for Japanese kei cars.
Its tall and boxy shape creates more room inside while keeping the car easy to drive in cities.
The car is expected to travel about 310 kilometres on one charge.
Its electric motor is expected to produce around 63 bhp.
In the United Kingdom, it will cost less than £20,000.
The e-Sky has a touchscreen, digital instruments and navigation that considers the battery level.
It can also provide electricity to some outside devices.
Suzuki has unveiled the production-ready e-Sky, its first electric kei car for international markets.
The compact EV is expected to offer approximately 310 km of range and around 63 bhp.
UK pricing starts below £20,000, placing the e-Sky near the Suzuki Swift in affordability.
The car measures 3,395 mm long and uses a 2,460 mm wheelbase for urban manoeuvrability.
Features include EV route planning, an Easy Drive Pedal, heat-pump heating and Vehicle-to-Load functionality.
