Suzuki e SKY platform and positioning
The e SKY is a kei-class electric hatchback for the Japanese market, and the first battery-electric passenger car Suzuki has built to Japan’s light-vehicle rules. Those rules cap the body at 3,400 mm long and 1,480 mm wide, and the e SKY sits just inside them at 3,395 x 1,475 x 1,625 mm on a 2,460 mm wheelbase, with a 4.4 m turning radius. It seats four.
Suzuki e SKY range and charging
Power comes from a single front-driven electric motor, built into an oil-cooled eAxle unit with the inverter and reduction gear, and fed by a 26 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery mounted under the floor. Suzuki rates the range at 310 km on Japan’s WLTC cycle, with AC energy consumption of 97 Wh/km, which it says is the best among kei EVs. Motor output has not been published; kei regulations cap it at 64 PS, about 63 hp.
Suzuki’s August preview quoted 50 kW DC charging, about 25 minutes to 80 percent. A 6 kW wallbox takes about 4.5 hours and a 3 kW domestic supply about eight. The car carries a 100 V, 1,500 W socket in the cabin, so it can run household appliances or power tools from the traction battery.
Suzuki e SKY price and trims
Inside, a 10.1-inch display audio unit sits alongside a separate digital instrument cluster on a flat, pale dashboard. Sales start on 16 November 2026.
