The Japanese automaker Suzuki is preparing to participate in the Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 by presenting a series of concepts and special versions. In total, the brand will show nine vehicles, five of which are conceptual developments. The main theme of the exhibition is “Life with Adventure,” reflecting a focus on an active lifestyle and outdoor recreation.
Key Presentation Points
All presented cars feature rugged design and updates aimed at increasing practicality. The exhibition demonstrates how familiar models can be adapted for various activities.
Jimny Nomade Monster Hunter Wilds Edition
The central exhibit was the Jimny Nomade Monster Hunter Wilds Edition, created in collaboration with Capcom ahead of the release of the game Monster Hunter Wilds. This special version, based on the five-door Jimny, received bright individual graphics, a roof rack, decorative metal-look elements, and new alloy wheels. A DR-Z4S motorcycle styled accordingly was also presented alongside it.
Suzuki XBee Nature Photographer
The Suzuki Xbee Nature Photographer concept is designed for photographers and active users who carry equipment into the mountains. It is equipped with a lower and more aerodynamic roof rack with integrated LED lights. Other changes include beadlock-style wheels, protective covers on the rear lights, a rear ladder, and a unique textured finish on the blue-black body.
Suzuki Every Wagon Wanpaku Rider
For kei car enthusiasts, the Every Wagon Wanpaku Rider was created — a family version for outdoor recreation. Three children’s bicycles are mounted on the roof rack, and storage boxes, an LED light bar, and a removable awning are also installed. The car received updated wheels with more robust tires, a black radiator grille, and tinted headlight lenses.
Suzuki Super Carry Work & Play Pro
The Super Carry Work & Play Pro model, based on the updated kei truck, is designed for camping and marine recreation. Its roof rack is extended over the cargo compartment, providing extra space for long or specialized equipment. The car’s overall appearance is more practical than flashy, with an emphasis on functionality and load capacity.
Suzuki Swift Sport Super Endurance Race Specification
The Swift Sport Super Endurance Race Specification concept is built on the previous generation Swift. Since the new Swift model has not yet received a Sport version, this race car temporarily represents the lineup. It recently participated in the 2025 Eneos Super Taikyu racing series, showcasing full race specification for long distances.
In addition to the concepts, Suzuki will also present two production models with additional factory equipment — another Xbee and a Super Carry. Among motorcycles, the new GSX-8TT will be present at the exhibition. The Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 will open to visitors on January 9th.
Suzuki’s presentation at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 clearly shows the trend towards versatility and adapting cars to users’ specific needs. From gaming collaborations to specialized versions for photographers and families, the brand demonstrates the flexibility of its lineup. The emphasis on kei cars is particularly interesting, as they remain extremely popular in Japan, gaining new life as full-fledged vehicles for active recreation. Events like the Tokyo Auto Salon often serve as a testing ground for future commercial versions or accessories, so some of these developments may appear in production.
