World Premiere of Suzuki's EV Concept Model EVX

Expect a global production model by 2025.

World premiere of Suzuki’s EV concept model eVX has been made at the Maruti Suzuki Pavilion at Auto Expo 2023, which is held in the suburbs of Delhi, India from 11 January 2023.

Maruti Suzuki, unveiled the new eVX concept, previewing a future electric crossover due for production in 2025.

Suzuki did not publish an abundance of details regarding the eVX but says that the concept will continue a legacy of 4x4s into the electric era. From this, we can assume that there will at least be the option of a dual-motor powertrain with all-wheel drive capabilities, although the outputs of such a powertrain remain a mystery.

The eVX is an all-electric concept SUV derived from Suzuki’s first global strategic EV. Suzuki offers SUV models such as the Grand Vitara and S-CROSS in various countries around the world. The eVX is a BEV model that combines Suzuki’s strong 4x4 DNA with the advanced features of the latest BEVs.

In recent years, Suzuki transitioned from a manufacturer of cute Kei cars like the Cappuccino and warm hatches like the Suzuki Swift Sport to a manufacturer with an extensive range of crossover SUVs.

One thing missing from its lineup was an EV. The Japanese automakers, including Suzuki, Toyota, Subaru, and Honda, have been slow to adopt the changeover and introduce electric cars, with many banding together in defiance of the concept, researching ways to try to save the combustion engine.

The eVX is the first step in changing that mindset and adapting to a changing automotive climate that will require most manufacturers in Europe to have EVs in their lineup by 2035.
