Maruti Suzuki’s first electric SUV eVX spied testing in India: Launch in 2025

Maruti Suzuki‘s first electric SUV, known as the eVX, has been spotted testing in Gurugram. The heavily camouflage test mule appeared to be similar to the concept version that was showcased at the Auto Expo 2023 and the near production-ready avatar at the Japan Mobility Show in October. The SUV features an upright stance with muscular and futuristic design.
As the test mule that has been spotted in India has been taped extensively, the Japanese manufacturer has ensured that it doesn’t reveal any cosmetic changes made to the concept showcased earlier.In the video, we can see that the tail lamp glasses have also been removed as a measure to not give out the design.

MSIL had earlier revealed that it will launch the model in 2025. The eVX will be powered by a 60 kWh battery pack and an electric motor. Although the power figures have not been revealed yet, the company has claimed that the battery pack on this EV (the chemistry of which is not known) will be capable of delivering up to 550 km of range when juiced fully.
The eVX will be based on Toyota’s 40PL platform designed for BEVs, which will allow the batteries to be integrated in the floorboard, thus leaving more room for occupants in the cabin.
We can expect Maruti Suzuki to price-tag the model competitively as it will aim to disrupt the Indian passenger vehicle EV landscape which is currently dominated by Tata Motors. The OEM has taken its due time to enter the electrification phase and with a competitive pricing, it will aim to establish itself in the growing segment.
