Regina, Q, and Swift: Suzuki Will Bring Entirely New Lineup of EVs to the Tokyo Motor Show

<a title="Suzuki" href="http://www.suzuki.com/" target="_blank">Suzuki</a> is the latest automaker to begin planning entire lineups of <a title="Inhabitat: alternative energy vehicle" href="http://inhabitat.com/index.php?s=alternative+energy+vehicle" target="_blank">alternative energy vehicles</a> and showing them off at <a title="Inhabitat: Frankfurt Motor Show" href="http://inhabitat.com/index.php?s=frankfurt+motor+show" target="_blank">auto shows</a>. For this year's upcoming <a title="Inhabitat: Tokyo Auto Show" href="http://inhabitat.com/index.php?s=tokyo+auto+show" target="_blank">Tokyo Motor Show</a>, the automaker is building its entire display around "small cars for a big future," with fuel cell and electric compact cars and motorcycles in a variety of designs. So far we're really loving the Regina, Q, and Swift EVs that Suzuki is planning to unveil at the event. Hit the jump for a preview.

Suzuki's Regina concept is the largest EV of the bunch, with a flowing design reminiscent of one retro 1940s iteration of the much larger Batmobile.

We love the patchwork floor carpets in the Regina, another hailback to some retro influence.

The Suzuki Q Concept follows the lead of other cars such as the Nissan Pivo as an ultra-compact vision of our transportation future. Expect to see more super small cars like this at Tokyo and future auto shows.

The Suzuki Q has an ultra-tight turning radius and reverse scissor doors for tight spaces.

The Suzuki Swift EV Hybrid is the closest in design to the Chevy Volt. It is an extended-range EV or hybrid and can drive for 20-30 kilometers on battery alone.

Turn this photo negative and you've got a fairly good idea of how the Swift will look in production.
