Popular Cars at Japan Mobility Show 2025

With a spotlight on sustainable mobility, the Japan Mobility Show 2025 will feature multiple concepts and production models from automotive giants like Suzuki, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, BYD, and many more. The show will also be showcasing cars that are relevant to India, and set to make their way to the subcontinent. Below, we list out all the models and explore their key specifications.

Century Coupe Concept

The Century Coupe Concept world premieres as the first two-door offering from the newly independent Century brand, elevated above Lexus in the hierarchy and directly challenging Rolls-Royce Spectre and Bentley Continental GT. This imposingly large fastback measures over 5,300 mm in length, featuring an asymmetrical door setup with two sliding doors on the passenger side for seamless rear access, a single door on the driver's side, pillarless construction, and a distinctive central ridge dividing the cabin. The design draws from the Century SUV's dual headlights but skips a rear window for a sleeker profile. 

The hood vents hint at an IC engine, likely a 5.0-litre V8 churning out 425 hp or a 2.4-litre PHEV V6 producing 406 hp. The four-seat interior showcases a yoke-style steering wheel, a compact smartphone-like infotainment screen, and opulent materials tailored for Japanese elites and dignitaries. While no launch timeline is confirmed, production versions are expected to adopt conventional doors and pillars.

Lexus LS Van Concept

Lexus's bold LS Van Concept reimagines the LS flagship as a six-wheeled ultra-luxury minivan. This radical design stretches over 5,500 mm with an extended wheelbase and dual rear axles for enhanced stability and space, featuring a sliding side door and panoramic glass roof for effortless access. Powered by a next-generation PHEV system with a 4.0-litre V6 hybrid producing an estimated 500 hp, it promises seamless EV-mode cruising for short trips. 

The luxurious interior accommodates up to eight in configurable lounge seating with heated/ventilated options, a rear entertainment system, and ambient lighting. Autonomous driving aids via Advanced Park and Highway Assist elevate the chauffeur-free experience. The production version is expected in 2028, targeting executive transport markets.

Suzuki Fronx Flex-Fuel

Suzuki's Fronx flex-fuel concept makes its global debut at the show, highlighting the brand's push towards carbon neutrality. The Maruti Fronx is already a bestseller in India, with over five lakh units produced.

The powertrain features a reworked 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, compliant with blends from E20 to E85, similar to the Wagon R flex-fuel prototype. It delivers around 89 bhp and 113 Nm in standard form, with tweaks for ethanol use including revised injectors, fuel pumps, and engine calibration to handle performance dips from higher blends. The design will remain unchanged, except for "Flex-Fuel" decals on the bonnet, fenders, and doors to differentiate itself from the standard models.

Prices for the Fronx Flex-Fuel are still unknown, but expect it to be priced at a premium over the standard models, which range from ₹6.85 lakh to almost ₹12.00 lakh. Produced at Maruti Suzuki's Gujarat facility, it is slated for a 2026 launch. With India’s sudden push towards ethanol-blended fuels, the Fronx Flex-Fuel could become a popular pick if priced well.

Honda 0 α

Honda's world premiere of the 0 α (Alpha) prototype steals the spotlight as the smallest and most accessible entry in its 0 Series EV lineup. Its design prioritises efficiency, spaciousness, and personalisation through AI-driven features like ultra-personal optimisation for user habits.

Expected to rival the BYD Atto 3, the 0 α measures approximately 4,300 mm in length with a low-slung profile for stability and a wide stance for SUV-like presence. Exact platform and battery specifications remain under wraps. The interior is expected to have a minimalist, but futuristic cabin with advanced connectivity options.

Confirmed for India in 2027 alongside Japan, the production model will be manufactured locally for exports, marking Honda's first global EV from Indian soil. It would target premium buyers seeking a blend of tech and affordability, competing with the Tata Curvv EV and MG ZS EV.

Honda Super-One Prototype

Honda's Super-One EV Prototype channels the spirit of the 1983 City Turbo II with a tall-boy compact design that world premieres as a fun, nostalgic EV. Measuring around 3,800 mm, it sports a boxy silhouette with flared fenders, pop-up headlights, and a grinning front grille. 

Its single-motor setup delivers 150 hp from a 30 kWh battery, offering 300 km range and simulated gear shifts with artificial engine revs via speakers for a playful driving experience. Interior nods to retro aesthetics with digital gauges mimicking analogue dials and a compact two-seater layout. Evolving from its Goodwood concept, this tiny EV targets urban joyrides, with production eyed for 2028 in Japan and potential kei-car adaptations for export markets like Europe.

Suzuki e Vitara

Showcased as a made-in-India production-intent model, the e Vitara builds on the eVX concept that was showcased in 2023, signalling Suzuki's EV ambitions. 

Key specs include an all-new, EV-specific HEARTECT-e platform for lightweight yet strong construction. Measuring 4,275 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width,1,600 mm in height, and with a wheelbase of 2700 mm, it is 65 mm shorter, 10 mm wider, 15 mm shorter in height, and has a 90 mm longer wheelbase than the Hyundai Creta Electric. 

It offers two battery packs - a 49 kWh entry-level unit offering about 400 km range and a 61 kWh option with 500 km+ range (WLTP). Power outputs are estimated at 140 bhp for the base and 175 bhp for the top variant, paired with front- or all-wheel drive. Features include a 10.1-inch touchscreen, ADAS suite, and fast charging up to 50 kW. It recently achieved 4 stars in Euro NCAP.

Set for an India launch in 2026, the e Vitara will be manufactured and exported from Gujarat, with an expected price range of ₹18.00 lakh to ₹25.00 lakh. 

Suzuki Vision e-Sky Concept

Suzuki's Vision e-Sky concept world premieres as a compact electric kei car tailored for urban congestion. At just 3,400 mm long and under 1,500 mm wide to comply with kei standards, it sports a boxy, retro-futuristic hatchback design with slim LED lights and a high roofline for practicality. 

Powered by a single electric motor estimated at 60 hp, it gets a 20 kWh battery for a 270 km WLTP range. 0-100 km/h takes around 12 seconds, with DC fast charging capability. The minimalist interior includes a 7-inch digital display, wireless smartphone integration, and modular storage for city commuters. 

Slated for a FY2026 Japan launch at around ¥2 million (about ₹11.90 lakh), it hints at potential affordable EV exports to markets like India, positioning Suzuki in the subcompact EV segment against rivals like the Nissan Sakura.

Nissan Patrol 

Nissan’s iconic SUV, the Patrol, returns to Japan after nearly two decades, as a premium off-roader blending comfort with rough road capability. It packs a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 producing 425 hp and 700 Nm of torque, mated to a 9-speed automatic and advanced 4WD with multiple terrain modes. 

Features include tri-zone climate control, a 14.3-inch infotainment, and ProPILOT Assist for off-roading. The cabin offers quilted leather and ambient lighting. A FY2027 Japan launch positions it against the Land Rover Defender.

The Jimny Nomade, identical to the 5-door Jimny being manufactured and sold in India, highlights the country’s export prowess with over one lakh units shipped globally. This showcase version introduces Japan-specific tweaks like ADAS and fresh colours, fueling rumours of similar updates for local markets.

Retaining the ladder-frame chassis and ALLGRIP PRO 4WD, it uses a 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine producing 103 bhp and 134 Nm, mated to a 5-speed manual.
