It is a significant move by the leading automobile company of India, Maruti Suzuki, into the electric vehicle market. It is going to hit the roads in its production ready avatar in January 2025 and is going to be the game changer in the Indian as well as the global EV market. Futuristic designs, reliability through Maruti Suzuki, and loads of features have always drawn huge enthusiasm among fans and experts alike in the eVX. Here’s a close-up view of what this electric SUV offers.
Design and Styling
- The very first Maruti Suzuki eVX concept was seen early in 2023, and a version even closer to production later that year at the Japan Mobility Show. The vehicle’s design language is aggressive exterior styles with functional elements blended together. The idea, as originally presented, looked very futuristic both in design and outlook, aggressive exterior, but it was to feature some very distinctive Y-shaped lighting units. Test mules do give an indication that the production car might instead settle on more conventional headlamp designs and a balance between form and function.
- The body size should thus carry the SUV status neither being small nor oversized: around 4.3 meters in length, 1.8 meters in width, and 1.6 meters in height; therefore making the vehicle a mid-size electric SUV, which at such proportions look impressive on roads, but in equal measure also spacious enough inside.
Spy images and test mule spy shots give an idea of tech-innovative interior. A twin-screen dashboard is expected for the digital instrument cluster and the infotainment screen put together. This kind of setup elevates the feel of the car with a high tech and is also part of worldwide drifts with electric vehicle interiors. - The cabin features vertically oriented air conditioning vents and a rotary gear selector on the center console, with both style and usability. With premium materials and thoughtful ergonomics, this eVX is sure to be a comfortable and appealing proposition for tech-savvy buyers. With the quality promise that Maruti Suzuki has, this eVX is expected to have great build quality and durability.
Platform and Powertrain
The Maruti Suzuki eVX will be built on a dedicated electric vehicle platform, designed to maximize efficiency and performance. This platform reflects Suzuki’s collaboration with global partners to ensure cutting-edge EV technology. According to the concept, the eVX will house a substantial 60 kWh battery pack, offering a claimed range of up to 550 km on a single charge. It is competitive in its segment and does not suffer from the big worry for an Indian EV buyer range anxiety.
The platform is designed with fast charging technology so that the vehicle can be used without any stops. However, the precise value of the power output is unknown, but this eVX would definitely be performance-oriented and nothing less than that, which is enough for both city commutability as well as highway runs. The car has been rigorously tested on Indian roads as well as worldwide with regard to suspension and chassis strength so that it could easily adjust to a given terrain.
Sustainability and Production
Eicher Motor’s biggest initiative has been taking a massive stride towards sustainability in the form of eVX. The eVX, an electric SUV, will come off the line at Suzuki Motor’s newly acquired facility in Gujarat-an absolutely equipped one, which translates to ensuring sustainable and efficient production for electric vehicles, as well. A car shall be made available locally by Maruti Suzuki to the Indian buyer, which would also add to the vision of the nation being a global hub for the production of electric vehicles.
The eVX is reportedly coming with an adequate amount of safety and driver assistance features, including the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). These could be adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist and autonomous emergency braking to make the car safer to drive.
Regarding the advancements in technology, eVX should probably come with over-the-air (OTA) software updates, apps to connect the car and the phone through Apple’s CarPlay and Android Auto. This will help the vehicle stay updated at the same time providing a seamless digital experience.
Price and Competition
eVX of the Maruti Suzuki has been talked about at a price of approximately ₹20-25 lakh. It, therefore falls in the top-end category within the mid-size electric SUVs. This does seem to make sense with its content in terms of features and just how technically embedded into the product this is. Competition could emerge from names like the Tata Nexon EV Max, Mahindra XUV400, Hyundai Kona Electric, and the MG ZS EV.
Global Aspirations
Though designed for Indian customer, Maruti Suzuki plans to launch the SUV in international markets too. This will be a statement that the company wants to make its presence felt in international EV space. Various terrains are put to test so that the car meets international standards of performance and reliability.
