Overview
- Suzuki revealed the near‑production e Sky on Monday with a company‑stated reference range of 310 kilometres and plans to put the model on sale in Japan late 2026 and in the UK in 2027.
- The e Sky is built to kei‑car size limits at about 3,395 mm long, 1,475 mm wide and 1,625 mm tall, rides on a 2,460 mm wheelbase and has a reported kerb weight of roughly 1,030 kg.
- Japanese media report the car uses a roughly 26 kWh lithium‑iron phosphate battery mounted under the floor and that Suzuki credits weight reduction, aerodynamics, a heat‑pump heater and motor efficiency for the 310 km figure, but Suzuki has not confirmed every technical or charging spec.
- Standard equipment shown in official material includes Vehicle‑to‑Load functionality to power external devices, a 10.1‑inch infotainment screen, a digital instrument cluster and connected navigation that factors remaining range and traffic to suggest routes and charging stops.
- Suzuki positions the e Sky as an affordable petrol‑to‑EV step for urban drivers and will face growing competition in the mini‑EV segment from models such as the BYD Racco and Nissan Sakura while exports to Europe and India could broaden that market and intensify the race for efficient small‑battery EVs.
