Overview
- Suzuki showed a near-production e Sky prototype on Monday and said it expects the model to go on sale within the fiscal year ending March 2027.
- The company cites weight reduction and higher energy efficiency as the reasons the small two-wheel-drive kei car can reach a reference driving range of 310 kilometers.
- Published specifications list a 3,395 mm length, 2,460 mm wheelbase and a 1,030 kg kerb weight, but Suzuki has not disclosed battery capacity, motor output, charging speeds or final price.
- Equipment highlighted in official images and press materials includes Vehicle-to-Load power output for external devices, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a direct heat-pump cabin heater, and an app that suggests routes by remaining range and traffic.
- The e Sky will enter a fast‑moving segment where BYD’s Racco is already on sale and a new joint venture called EMT plans to launch in 2027, putting pressure on Suzuki’s affordability goal and the wider push to convert petrol drivers to EVs.
