Maruti Suzuki, the Indian operation of Suzuki Motor Corporation, unveiled the Concept eVX, an electric SUV at the Auto Expo 2023 in India. The concept car is set to hit the market by 2025 and is powered by a 60kWh battery pack that offers up to 550 km of driving range on a single charge.
“We plan to bring it to market by 2025. At the Suzuki Group, addressing global warming is a priority,” said SMC Representative Director and President Toshihiro Suzuki. He added that the company is committing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and investing Rs 10,000 crore in the production of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and their batteries in India.
Maruti Suzuki is also displaying other eco-friendly products such as the WagonR Flex Fuel prototype, Brezza S-CNG, and Grand Vitara Intelligent Electric Hybrid. The Concept eVX is Suzuki’s first global strategic electric vehicle and is being debuted in India.
