Suzuki stopped selling cars in the United States over a decade ago and the brand has become the butt of jokes. Nowadays, it’s best known for building the dilapidated 1998 Esteem from Better Call Saul.
However, Suzuki is returning to America for an appearance at CES. They’ll showcase their “Small, Few, Light, Short, Beautiful” philosophy as well as a Super Carry pickup. The company will also display an Electric Mobility Base Unit, which is essentially a robot chassis that uses the company’s electric wheelchair technology.

The Electric Mobility Base Unit can be combined with autonomous driving technology from third-party firms for a wide range of applications. This includes a delivery robot and a snow removal drone.
The latter comes from Everblue Technologies and resembles a small snow plow. It has a 210 watt motor, a top speed of 3.7 mph (6 km/h), and a range of around 18.6 miles (30 km). While it’s still a prototype, the company is aiming to launch a production model in early 2026.
Suzuki will also showcase an “Applied EV,” which is essentially a skateboard-like vehicle that can be equipped with an assortment of different upper bodies. The company bills it as a “safe, simple, self-driving electric trolley the size of a small car” and it’s designed for logistics sites.
Last but not least, Suzuki will show a small passenger pod that is designed to travel in its own dedicated lane. It promises to “provide equal and sustainable transportation for everyone.”
