CONCEPT-S2 The CONCEPT-S2 convertible inherits the image and concept, from the CONCEPT-S concept car we introduced at the 2002 Paris Motor Show and further enhances the fun factor. The CONCEPT-S2 elevates driving pleasure with a newly developed "3-piece electrically rotating/retracting roof." The compact body provides room for four people to share the refreshing experience of open-air driving. At the center of the instrument panel is a 13-inch telematics-compatible information display.

S-RIDE The S-RIDE, created with the concept "an active commuting car as an urban transportation tool," is an urban commuting car targeted to young people and which presents motorcycle-like driving enjoyment together with the practicality of an automobile. In the aluminum outer shell two seats are arranged in tandem layout; its engine is mounted amidships, toward the rear. The S-RIDE also offers a suggestion for the future of "telematics" - the technology which has gained increased attention in recent years.

LANDBREEZE Made with the concept "a compact SUV employing advanced environmental technology to coexist in harmony with nature," the LANDBREEZE is built with naturally recyclable materials, aluminum which is easily recyclable, and tires made entirely of natural resources not based on petroleum. Its hybrid engine, despite being a 660cc naturally aspirated unit, delivers ample low-to-mid range torque for SUV driving, thus realizing low fuel consumption. In terms of packaging, reviewing of seat layout and use of sub rear doors improve passenger comfort and make for smoother ingress/egress.

MR wagon FCV MR wagon FCV is a fuel cell vehicle powered by a fuel cell system jointly developed with General Motors under our partnership. The fuel cell unit is neatly installed within the limited confines of a mini vehicle. Space is provided for four people and luggage, even while carrying two high pressure hydrogen tanks.

Mobile Terrace The Mobile Terrace, based on the concept "a relaxed space created by innovative packaging" represents our future outlook for fuel cell automobiles. By optimizing the General Motors' fuel cell platform "Hy-Wire" to suit small cars which are Suzuki's special field of expertise, the Mobile Terrace, within its 4-meter-long body, offers an attractive interior which breaks new ground in spacious 3-seat-row layout and wide-ranging utility. An "open terrace like" cabin has sliding doors on either side, roof to take in the blue skies above, and floor and seat sliding functions, together presenting a relaxed ambiance you can bring along to your travel destinations.

Twin My Style Created with the concept "the Twin tailored for demanding young women; a Twin just for myself," the Twin My Style, based on the existing Twin, offers a comfortable and stylish personal space for the solo driver and serves the needs of young women who demand much from cars and who drive alone much of the time.
