The good thing with concept studies is that reality doesn't have time to sink in during their creation so designers can pretty much do whatever they want. And while Suzuki's Regina concept may not be to everybody's liking, its groovy -almost Citroen-like- styling won't go by unnoticed.
The concept is 3.5-metres long and 1.6-metres wide, while it weighs in at just 730kg (1,609 pounds). According to the Japanese automaker, the quirky looking city car has a drag coefficient at least 10% lower than that of current models of the same size and category. An 800cc (0.8-liter) turbocharged petrol engine feeds a continuously variable transmission which drives the front wheels. Suzuki says that the Regina has fuel economy of at least 32km/L (equal to 72.3mpg US and 3.1lt/100km) measured in the JC08 test cycle and CO2 emissions as low as 70g/km.
