Suzuki XBEE Facelift 2025: Suzuki has taken the wraps off the 2025 XBEE facelift (pronounced Crossbee) at the Japan Mobility Show, and it is looking better than ever! The new XBEE gets a fresh design, more comfort features, and a new mild-hybrid engine - the same one used in the latest Maruti Swift.
Compact, fun, and feature-packed, it stands in perfect combination for people fond of small SUVs like the Tata Punch or Hyundai Exter. Let's get a detailed look into everything new about the 2025 Suzuki XBEE.
Suzuki XBEE Facelift 2025: Bold New Design
The updated XBEE now gets a more muscular and eye-catching design. Suzuki bestows round LED headlamps, a new grille with silver accents, and a chunkier bumper to add to its ruggedness quotient. Extra cladding on the body gives it a stronger stance and makes the XBEE look almost like a mini SUV with some serious road presence.
Suzuki has also added some new colour options, including the attractive Mystic Blue Metallic Black Tough dual-tone shade shown at the event. The stylish alloy wheels further enhance its sporty vibe.
Size-wise, the XBEE remains compact but bigger than the Maruti S-Presso. It measures 3,760 mm in length, 1,670 mm in width, and 1,705 mm in height-all adding up to a tall and spacious profile. At the back, you get a neat roof-mounted spoiler and vertically stacked tail lamps that give it a signature look.
MODERN INTERIOR: COMFORT MEETS CONVENIENCE
Step inside, and the 2025 XBEE feels more premium and user-friendly than before. The dashboard design has been updated with new buttons and switches, and there’s a new steering wheel that feels nice to hold.
The most prominent change is the 7-inch digital instrument cluster that displays clear information right in front the driver. There's also a large 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system-same unit seen on the Maruti Jimny-which supports navigation, music, and smartphone connectivity.
One distinctive feature is the dashboard-mounted gear lever, providing a rather quirky and practical cabin layout. The design feels a little bit busy but fun in a character-filled way.
The XBEE is compact but offers plenty of space and comfort for all passengers. Added to this, Suzuki has added a number of premium features:
- Heated front seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Heated side mirrors
- Type-C USB charging ports
- Electric parking brake with brake hold
It also supports Suzuki Connect, which brings smart connectivity features like vehicle tracking, driving data, and remote access through your smartphone.
Packed with Safety Features
Suzuki has equipped the XBEE with a full set of safety technologies. The 2025 model includes:
- 6 airbags
- Hill Hold Control (prevents rollback on slopes)
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
- Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)
In addition, the car also features Suzuki Safety Support, a set of cameras and sensors to make driving safer. That means:
- Traffic Sign Recognition
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keep Assist & Lane Departure Warning
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- High Beam Assist
These features work together to make every drive saferty whether you’re navigating busy city traffic or cruising down the highway.
New Mild-Hybrid Engine: Smooth and Efficient
The most significant update under the hood is the introduction of a new 1.2-litre Z12E 3-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engine, like the one on the latest Maruti Swift. The power and torque figures read 80 PS and 108 Nm respectively. It comes linked to a CVT automatic gearbox.
It is an engine more directed toward fuel efficiency and smooth performance, rather than outright power. The mild-hybrid system helps in improving mileage and gives a small electric boost during acceleration.
Compared to the older 1.0-litre turbo engine that made 99 PS and 150 Nm, the new engine might feel calmer, but it’s far more efficient and refined as an everyday performer. Perfectly suitable for city usage: peppy, easy to drive and light on fuel.
Price and Variants
Pricing of the new 2025 Suzuki XBEE facelift in Japan is as follows:
- 2WD variant: JPY 2,157,100 (around ₹12.47 lakh)
- 4WD AllGrip variant: JPY 2,333,100 (approximately ₹13.50 lakh)
The XBEE thus offers a strong blend of style, technology, and safety at these prices. Suzuki though has not declared any plans to launch it in India as of now.
If it ever does come here, it would rival compact SUVs like the Tata Punch, Hyundai Exter, and. Citroën C3 and could easily stand out with its premium features and quirky design. - Small Car, Big Personality The facelifted 2025 Suzuki XBEE proves that small cars can have big personalities. Graced with its new mild-hybrid engine, improved design, upgraded interior, and long list of safety and comfort features, the XBEE is more capable and stylish than ever. It's practical for city drives, fun to look at, and loaded with tech that makes everyday journeys easier. Even though it may not come to India anytime soon, it shows Suzuki's increasing focus on efficiency, design, and advanced features. If you love compact SUVs that combine fun and functionality, the new Suzuki XBEE definitely deserves a spot on your radar.
