We are reporting live from the Land of the Rising Sun and this is the Suzuki Regina concept which could point to a new global compact car from the Japanese brand. Little has been revealed about the car but we do know that it is powered by an 800cc petrol engine that is also turbocharged.
The small engine is paired to a continuously variable transmission or CVT and there is brake energy regeneration and an engine start/stop function. It weighs only 730 kg and has a drag coefficient at least 10% lower than that of current models in Suzuki’s line-up.
This allows the Regina to deliver a fuel economy reading of 3.76 liters per 100 km which is rather impressive. The concept which measures 3,500 mm long and 1,600 mm wide was produced using a new manufacturing process that helps reduce the number of parts required.

Suziki what!? Vagina?
New swift?
Sweet Jesus!
looks rather french, nice. i like it. seems to have design cues of renault and citroen of the yesteryears.
Fall in love with the interior looks futuristic. Overall design really nice.
Even the steering wheel is copied from the Citroen GS from 1970:

But the technology of the Citroen GS from 1970 was far ahead the Suzuki Regina, it had i.e. hydro-pneumatic self-levelling suspension etc.
yup. nice that those old design elements are making a comeback.

I hope that the boring Swift will be replaced by the Regina soon.
macam kiroro.
Wonder how the production version will look. Suzuki made a boo-boo by altering the aggressive A-Star concept’s looks to produce the cutesy Alto. Hopefully they refine but don’t dumb down the design.
looks like angry bird car ^^
ANGRY FROG
very, very angry! it has got a little turbo and is not afraid to use it! :D
I wonder how many people are going to mispronounce the name!
Deliberately, many would probably mispronounce it ;)
De car looks cute..
