铃木将在东京车展发布Xbee概念车，届时铃木将展示标准版、OutdoorAdventure和StreetAdventure三种版本。由于该车的车身尺寸紧凑并具备高度灵活性，因此铃木认为该车更适合在城市道路行驶。不过，由于该车具备粗糙路面行驶性能和SUV的功能性，因此也可以适应城市以外道路行驶。其中，其中，标准风格的Xbee外观显得格外呆萌，采用黄色车身和黑色车顶的双色搭配。车头还有粗壮的银色保险杠，颇为亮眼。OutdoorAdventure的车身侧面采用了难得一见的仿木纹装饰板，很有格调。最后，StreetAdventure的用色也相当别致，黑色车身点缀亮眼的黄色装饰，并搭配白色车顶以及白色外后视镜，个性十足。目前，铃木Xbee的内饰尚未曝光，我们希望它也能跟外观一样充满个性。另外，动力系统也没有公布，但应该是搭载一台小排量的三缸或者四缸发动机。关于Xbee的更多信息恐怕要等到今年十月底的东京车展上才能揭晓了。
Suzuki Xbee Concepts Bring Their Rugged Cuteness To Tokyo
Where the Suzuki E-Survivor looks ready to conquer any terrain, the Japanese brand’s Xbee (pronounced “cross bee”) concepts imagine more city-friendly CUVs at the Tokyo Motor Show. The automaker will show them in standard, Outdoor Adventure, and Street Adventure guises at the event.
Suzuki sees the Xbee as a vehicle that would fit well in the city thanks to its compact size and high maneuverability. However, it would also work outside of the urban jungle due to the “rough-road drivability and functionality of an SUV,” according to the company.
The standard Xbee is an extremely cute, ultra boxy crossover. It features two-tone paint with a yellow body and black roof. A satin-finished silver bumper lends a retro aesthetic. Square-shaped fenders lend a rugged look, but the Xbee doesn’t look capable of going too far off road. The Xbee Outdoor Adventure (above) is the first vehicle in recent memory to feature fake wood paneling along the side. It’s a styling cue that doesn’t need to make a large-scale return, but there’s something charming about the retro detail on this Suzuki.
Finally, Suzuki has the Xbee Street Adventure variant that trades the wood decal for a flash of color. The black body features bold, yellow details on the lower front fascia, wheels, and along the side. A white roof and matching mirror caps break up the dark body even more.
Suzuki doesn’t reveal the Xbee concepts’ interior yet. We hope it looks as charming as the outside though.
Unfortunately, there are also no powertrain details for any of the Xbee models yet. Given their size and Suzuki’s engine lineup, we would expect a small-displacement three- or four-cylinder mill under the hood. More information should arrive at the Tokyo Motor Show that starts in late October.
