Tokyo Show 2011 Highlights: Suzuki Regina Concept


The new Suzuki Regina concept, revealed at the Tokyo motor show today, is the Japanese maker’s idea of a new, global small car.

Majoring in low weight and aerodynamics, the Suzuki Regina concept uses an 800cc turbocharged petrol motor, a new CVT transmission, brake regeneration and auto stop-start to achieve its impressive 75mpg claimed combined economy figure.

Weighing just 730kg, the 3.5-metre long, 1.6-metre wide Regina offers 10 per cent better aerodynamics than a Swift and showcases clever new manufacturing processes that utilise curved high-tensile steel elements to reduce the number of parts required whilst improving rigidity. Interior space is also a priority, so it gets a staggered dash to allow the passengers more space without compromising the driving position.

Expect to see this make production, albeit without the concept glitz and quirkiness.

Gone are the days when you had to wait for years to enjoy luxurious brand cars and owners had no choice but to retain the existing one. But now things have been changing very fast. If you are unable to buy new cars, the used cars of the same brand and model will satisfy your appetite at less cost.
