Maruti Suzuki eVX To Debut By End Of 2024
At the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2024, Toshihiro Suzuki, the president of Suzuki Motor Corporation, said, “The first Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) from Suzuki Group will be rolled out from Suzuki Motor Gujarat by the end of this year.” He added that the made-in-India eVX will not only go on sale in our domestic market but also in Japan and European countries. Unlike other EVs in the market, Maruti Suzuki claim that the eVX will be a true made-in-India product with indigenously developed battery, electric powertrain and other crucial components. As a completely localised product, the eVX has the potential to disrupt the Indian EV market with an aggressive price tag.

Maruti Suzuki eVX Expected Specifications And Dimensions
At the Auto Expo, Maruti stated that the eVX could sport a 60kWh battery, which could give the eSUV a claimed range in excess of 500km. In comparison, the updated Nexon EV B2-segment SUV sports a 40.5kWh battery and a claimed range of 465km per charge. At the other end of the spectrum, the MG ZX C1-segment eSUV offers a 50.3kWh battery and a claimed range of 461km, while the BYD Atto 3 C2-segment eSUV a 60.5kWh battery and a claimed range of 521km. Considering the Nexon EV, MG ZS EV and Atto 3 cost Rs. 18.20 lakh, Rs. 22.88 lakh and Rs. 34.0 lakh, respectively, we could expect the Maruti Suzuki eVX to cost between Rs. 20.0 lakh and Rs. 25.0 lakh.
We expect the production-spec Maruti Suzuki eVX to measure around 4300mm in length, 1800 in width and 1600mm in height. It could sport a wheelbase of 2700mm. These figures would put the Maruti Suzuki eVX in the C-SUV segment, which is home to the Hyundai Creta/Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara/Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, and the Volkswagen Taigun/Skoda Kushaq. Based on details revealed at the Auto Expo 2023 and spy shots from recent weeks, we can confirm that the production-spec eVX will share a similar footprint as the Grand Vitara SUV.
