Overview
editThe Suzuki G70 concept was initially revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show on December 2, 2011, in Tokyo, Japan as the Suzuki Regina, alongside the second-generation Suzuki Swift Sport, the Swift EV Hybrid concept, and the Q Concept, as the automaker's idea of a fuel-efficient global small car.[1] The Regina was later shown at the Geneva Motor Show the following year on March 8, 2012, in Geneva, Switzerland as the G70. The new name was chosen to reflect its low produced CO2 emissions of 70 g (0.15 lb) per kilometer.[2] The name was initially used during development of the concept.[3]
