Suzuki has unveiled its new eWX EV concept at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo. The eWX is a mini wagon EV that is designed to be practical, fun, and affordable. It is powered by a single electric motor and has a driving range of up to 230 km on a single charge.
The eWX is even shorter than the S-Presso that is on sale in the Indian market, measuring less than 3.4 meters in length. This makes it ideal for navigating crowded city streets and parking in tight spaces. However, its tall boy design means that there is still plenty of headroom for occupants.
The eWX features a dual-tone color scheme of dark and light gray, with neon green accents on the front bumper, alloy wheels, and window frames. It also has C-shaped LED daytime running lamps and a glowing Suzuki logo.
Exterior design
The eWX has a simple and clean exterior design, with a focus on functionality. The front end is dominated by a large grille and a pair of sharp headlights. The side profile is characterized by a high roofline and a long wheelbase. The rear end is simple and uncluttered, with a pair of vertical taillights and a small hatch.
Interior design
Features
The eWX comes with a variety of features, including:
- A large touchscreen infotainment system
- A digital instrument cluster
- A rotary gear selector
- Climate control
- Power windows and mirrors
- Central locking

Performance
The eWX is powered by a single electric motor that produces an unknown amount of power and torque. However, given its small size and weight, it is likely to be quite nippy around town. The eWX has a driving range of up to 230 km on a single charge, which should be sufficient for most people's daily needs.
Pricing and availability
Suzuki has not yet announced the pricing or availability of the eWX EV. However, it is expected to be launched in Japan in 2024.
Future of electric kei cars

However, they have traditionally been powered by gasoline engines. The eWX EV shows that Suzuki is committed to developing electric kei cars in the future.
