Maruti eVX: India's First All-Electric SUV Confirmed to Arrive by End of 2024

We are thrilled to announce that Maruti Suzuki, one of India's leading automobile manufacturers, has confirmed the launch of their first all-electric SUV, the Maruti eVX. Set to revolutionize the Indian automotive market, this groundbreaking vehicle is scheduled to hit the roads by the end of 2024. The news came straight from the president of Suzuki Motor Corp, Toshihiro Suzuki, during his speech at the prestigious Vibrant Gujarat Summit 2024.



Manufacturing and Global Reach

The Maruti eVX will be locally manufactured at Maruti's state-of-the-art production facility in Gujarat, showcasing the company's commitment to the "Make in India" initiative. Furthermore, this revolutionary electric offering will not only cater to the Indian market but will also be exported to Japan and several European countries. This marks an exciting milestone for Maruti Suzuki as they expand their global presence and contribute to the rise of electric mobility worldwide.


The Unveiling: A Glimpse into the Future of Electric SUVs

The Maruti eVX made its grand global debut at the highly anticipated Indian Auto Expo 2023. Initially showcased as a concept vehicle, it dazzled attendees with its captivating design and promising specifications. Building upon this early success, Maruti Suzuki then presented an evolved version of the eVX at a motor show in Tokyo. Here, we were given a glimpse into the interior design, which left us eagerly anticipating the vehicle's imminent arrival.

Design and Specifications

Embracing a compact SUV form factor, the Maruti eVX exudes a remarkable presence on the road. While specific details and specifications remain limited, we can expect the eVX to boast an impressive battery capacity of up to 60 kWh. This substantial power source will enable an astounding claimed range of up to 550 km, a testament to the vehicle's capabilities. Additionally, the Maruti eVX is set to offer an all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant, featuring a dual-motor setup. However, we anticipate that the single-motor front-wheel-drive variant will be the popular choice among Indian consumers.


A Toyota Collaboration: Expanding the Global EV Market

Maruti Suzuki, in partnership with Toyota, will also introduce a Toyota-badged version of the eVX for the global market. Unveiled in concept form as the Urban SUV Concept, this collaboration further strengthens the companies' commitment to electric mobility. With shared expertise and resources, Maruti Suzuki and Toyota aim to set new standards in the electric SUV segment globally, along with fortifying their market positions.

Anticipated Pricing and Market Competition

As for the pricing, the Maruti eVX is expected to be competitively priced, thanks to its substantial localization efforts, particularly in its electric powertrain. With an estimated starting price of around Rs 22 lakh (ex-showroom), this all-electric SUV will likely give tough competition to the likes of the MG ZS EV and the Tata Curvv EV. Maruti Suzuki aims to offer Indian customers an appealing package that combines impressive range, performance, and value for money.


Conclusion

With the impending arrival of the Maruti eVX, Maruti Suzuki is poised to make a significant impact on India's electric vehicle landscape. This all-electric SUV checks all the boxes, offering a thrilling blend of captivating design, exceptional range, and cutting-edge technology. Maruti Suzuki's commitment to global expansion ensures that the eVX will not only cater to the Indian market but will also make waves in Japan and various European countries. As we approach the end of 2024, excitement builds for the day when the Maruti eVX finally graces the roads and accelerates India's transition to electric mobility.
