Just as the dates of the 44th Tokyo Motor Show 2015 close in, there is an update on the range of concepts that Suzuki will be showcasing at the premier event. First up on display will be the New Suzuki Ignis; a compact sporty crossover which combines adventurous theme with the daily lifestyle. It will sport a new and exciting design language and will come with tons of practicality. The Suzuki Ignis will have a higher ground clearance and will also boast of a taller seating making it a convenient offering for daily use.
Even though it will be a compact-crossover, Suzuki states that the Ignis will tackle rough surfaces and uneven undulations with great strength. It will be a weekend solution and will offer great driving performance. The Ignis will sport a contemporary design with modern elements. The overall shape and dimensions will be larger than the earlier generation model.
Suzuki will also be displaying a more rugged Ignis-Trail concept at the Motor show which is built on the new Ignis but has a greater potential in coming across as a proper outdoor crossover machine with a higher rugged appeal. This one will have wider tyres and larger wheels with claddings and accessories to further boost the outdoor traveller image.
These two concepts will also see a Mighty Deck parked beside them. With the Mighty Deck, Suzuki aims to target the young and the zesty kinds who want a mini solution to their lifestyle offering needs. The Mighty Deck is a compact mini car with a tendy canvas top and a compact deck at the rear. Also, the load area will have a functional edge as it can be configured to accommodate larger storage using the automatic raise or lower function. In terms of dimensions, the Mighty Deck will be 3395mm long, 1475mm wide and 1540mm tall. Under the hood will be athree-cylinder 658cc turbocharged petrol engine combined with an S-Energy Electric motor.
The inside of the mighty Deck will be as lavish as the outside with a two-one colour scheme and spacious seats for the front row occupants only. From the looks of it, it is expected that the Mighty Deck too will feature modern bits of latest gizmo gadgetry with heads up display, high resolution infotainment screen and much more.
Suzuki will also be showcasing Air Triser Minivan Concept; a futuristic looking passenger carrier that has design elements borrowed from the yesteryear European vans. The three-row concept will boast of the greatest comfort and space to be ever seen in a vehicle of this dimension. With a clear focus on the airy cabin, the Air Triser will offer an option to be completely transformed into a personal lounge. Powering this concept will be a 4-cylinder hybrid motor mated to a five-speed transmission paired with an all wheel drive system. Dimensionally, it will have a length of 4200mm, height of 1815mm and a width of 1956mm.
Lastly, the soon to be launched premium hatchback in India, Baleno will mark its presence on the international motor show stage. The Baleno will be a completely new product for the brand in India and will offer elegant styling, rich interiors and an equally performance friendly engine. It is said to be larger than its rival models that will make it the most comfortable hatch in its category. The interiors trims and layouts will be radical and will sport an updated infotainment system. Post its launch in India, it will compete against mainstream offerings such as Hyundai Elite i20, Volkswagen Polo and Fiat Punto Evo.
The Suzuki Baleno will feature the brand new 1.0-litre turbocharged ‘Boosterjet’ petrol engine, which is a part of the company’s new generation engine family. It will also feature a 1.2-litre DUALJET engine. However, we expect the Indian model to sport the conventional options with perhaps a choice of automatic.
