The Suzuki Xbee (Japanese: スズキ・クロスビー, Hepburn: Suzuki Kurosubī, i.e. "cross bee") is a crossover city car produced by the Japanese automaker Suzuki since December 2017.[1] It is only sold in Japan.

Overview

The Xbee made its world premiere at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show as a "reference exhibit car."[2] Although its design is similar in style to the Hustler kei car, they do not share the same mechanical parts. Instead it uses the HEARTECT platform that is shared with the second-generation Ignis and third-generation Solio.[3]

The Xbee is only available with a mild hybrid powertrain coupled to a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifts. The four-wheel drive model is also equipped with hill descent control, which limits the speed to a steady 7 km/h (4.3 mph) when engaged.[4]
