Suzuki Mom’s Personal Wagon

Advertisement

This concept has been christened a strange name. This is the Suzuki Mom’s Personal Wagon.



This is Suzuki’s concept of how a Mom’s Personal Wagon should be. Ample room and equipment such as food trays for kids, low on fuel consumption for those tasks like fetching kids to and fro from tuition and school.

It’s actually nothing like a wagon, more like a mini-MPV like the Perodua Kenari or Hyundai Atos.

Automatic transmission, and a single wide seat so the mom can attend to kid’s needs better, or perhaps even fit two kids in front. I don’t see any signs of airbags though… shouldn’t that be important even in a concept?

The doors on the left of the car open suicide style for easier entry and exit without a B-pillar. The right side has the normal kind of doors, with a B-pillar. Notice the difference in door handles for the left and right side of the car in the photos above.

    Eh? They got different type of door between right and left. I wonder if the left side is weaker than the right. The suiside door reminds me of the Lincoln. Cool thou…

    weilun: it’s power puff auntie larrr.. LOL!

    I hate the Interior air outlet and rear break lights design, it make my head “KEPALA PUSING”.

    Ulgy Chocolate colors everywhere, what a F***KING design. It looks like KENARI F***KING ulgy beast. Don’t you think so!

    love the name.

    it effectively narrows its market to mothers only, already.

    Headrests dangerously low. Passengers can break their necks easily in an event of a crash. And without airbags – totally goner.

    But then again, it’s just a concept vehicle. I think if it’s sold to the same market targeted by Hyunday/Inokom Atos, it’ll sell well. That “Mom” branding is the only setback for bachelors/single males.

    i like it! especially the suicide doors at the left. this allows the “mom” to seat her kids nicely at the back and then get in from the same side with no B pillar in her way. hahaha. very special. but the interior is a bit too much. since its a mom’s car, they should expect the kids to spill drinks and food. haha.

    Huh… I’d a quite embarrased if my mom sent me to school in this la… Then again, my schooling days are LONG over la… Haihh… miss those days! :|

    Looks spacious enough and all in all, quite suitable for most mothers who are the family’s “taxi driver” la. Dog the wan, you are quite right about the design scheme la bro. The colour shceme is really out la…

    I suppose its makers have done away with airbags because a woman who drives such a car is more likely to drive it slowly and safely. This is all the more so since there’s a high chance the passenger beside her will be a child. And front air-bags have also been known to suffocate front child passengers to death before. So perhaps the doing away with air-bags can be justified afterall.

    Looks like suzuki have warped back to the 50s’ Looks like a VW inside
    ugly colors way to small for carring 2 or 3 kids no curtain airbags old style
    bench seats hamburger tray to cut you in half(or kids)
    crash test it first then think again

    no complains la as it serves to its name… mother with kids to drive around…
    color scheme meant to blend it with spilled food, colas, etc… agree with MC on the airbag, no point having it but then again, crash test & see price.. pas tu evaluate again

    [...] Nissan and Suzuki will be expanding their collaboration with sharing vehicle platforms and rebadging. Currently Suzuki supplies some small cars for Nissan to rebadge. An example would be the Suzuki MR Wagon, which Nissan rebadged as the Nissan Moco. These small cars are usually sold in the Japanese market only. [...]

    [...] Looks very familiar eh? It’s the same car as Suzuki Mom’s Personal Wagon, without the rear doors opening backwards on the passanger side. The front seats are also not one straight bench, but separated into 2 individual seats. [...]
