The Suzuki eSky debuts in Japan with factory styling packages. It offers 193 miles (310 km) of range from a 26 kWh battery. The EV starts at under $10k if you account for local subsidies. Suzuki has introduced its first fully electric passenger kei car in Japan ahead of its market launch in Europe and the UK. The all-new Suzuki eSky brings an impressive range for the size of its battery, aided by its lightweight design and efficient e-Axle. More importantly local EV subsidies lower the starting price of the pint-sized hatchback to ¥1,552,000 ($9,800). The eSky was revealed in August 2026 as an evolution of the Vision e-Sky from 2025. The kei car retains the five-door silhouette and compact footprint of the concept, but its lighting units and bumpers have been redesigned for production, as with the wheels, door handles, and mirror caps.
