Suzuki concepts to be shown at Tokyo show

Suzuki shows off three new concepts for the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show

Suzuki will show several interesting concept cars at the Tokyo Motor Show which opens to the public on November 23rd.

Based on Suzuki’s slogan ‘Small Cars for a Big Future’ the concepts include the iv4 above, which we first saw at the Frankfurt Motor Show earlier this year. This shows what the new Grand Vitara, due in 2015, will look like.

Starting with the Crosshiker (above), a compact crossover that Suzuki claims benefits from a dynamic weight reduction and highly-efficient power train. Weighing just 810kg, the Crosshiker is powered by a newly developed 1-litre, 3-cylinder engine.

With the X-Lander 4WD hybrid off roader, Suzuki wants drivers to ‘use this car in the city as well as sometimes go out to play in the field’. Based on the Jimny, the X-Lander is equipped with a 1.3-litre engine and a newly developed manual gearbox.

Finally Suzuki hasn’t let us down when it comes to a funky concept with the brilliantly named Hustler, pictured below. It’s reminscent of the Nissan Cube while the front end looks like the original Toyota Land Cruiser. Suzuki describes it as a crossover for people who ‘love the nature, love the outdoors, and love sports’. There’s even a coupe variant.
