In between developing of an entirely new Jimny and
upgrading some models, Suzuki took their time to create a fresh study called
e-Survivor.
Displayed in front of the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show
audience, the e-Survivor is an open-top two-seater off-roader that looks
basically like a Mars rover inspired by Jeep, but that's a completely different
story.
What we should focus upon instead is its very
generous ground clearance and chunky off-road rubber that give it a go-anywhere
flair; and the thing is that this small Suzuki study might just do that - go
anywhere, as it's built on a ladder frame.
The e-Survivor is a
zero-emission vehicle, set in motion by four electric motors, one integrated in
each wheel, which creates an all-wheel drive system. The Japanese automaker decided to keep specs
close to its chest, claiming that it could target the segment up to 100 years into
the future.
One might assume that the
Suzuki e-Survivor benefits from full autonomy. However, taking a closer look at
its interior reveals a steering wheel, pedals, and gear shifter, which as
futuristic as they may appear, they're very much present.
