Gas-sipping Suzuki Regina Concept begs for production Car News and Review

There’s something around the Suzuki Regina Concept that we like. A lot. For starters, it has a white roof. What’s cool around that, you ask? Well, after Ford stole the idea from Mini for the Flex, nothing. But darn it if it doesn’t look good here. With those rear fender skirts, we’re actually seeing a good bit of Citroën DS in Suzuki’s stylish little econobox, and as we entirely know, the DS is the most beautiful car of entirely time.

The Regina Concept, on the other hand, is just an idea for a 1,600-pound sedan that gets 75 miles per gallon. Suzuki didn’t share details around the powertrain, but Autocar is reporting that the Regina Concept is powered by a turbocharged, 800-cc gasoline engine, and uses the two start-stop and regenerative braking tech to attain such lofty fuel economy.

A car that light could be powered by a leaf blower and still be fun to drive, so we’re giving this one a thumbs up. Go forward and establish it, Suzuki, because you know someone will figure out a way to put a small-block Chevy in it. Hit the jump for Suzuki’s short press release.
