The Suzuki e-Sky measures 3,395 mm in length, 1,475 mm in width and 1,625 mm in height. It weighs 1,030 kg and has a 2,460 mm wheelbase. Its compact footprint and tall-boy body are designed to make the car easy to drive and park in crowded urban areas while offering more usable cabin space.
At the front, the e-Sky gets LED headlights connected by a thick black strip. A camera is positioned in the centre, while the absence of a conventional grille highlights its electric powertrain. The headlight design also has some similarities to the Alto K10 sold in India.

At the rear, the e-Sky features a roof spoiler with integrated tail lights. The tailgate carries the e-Sky badge along with a centrally positioned Suzuki logo.

The steering wheel comes with mounted controls, while the automatic transmission selector is placed close to the steering wheel to free up room around the centre console.
The cabin features fabric seats and a blind-spot mirror on the left side. Equipment includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster and keyless go.
The e-Sky also gets Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, allowing its traction battery to supply power to external electrical devices.
