The production-spec eVX SUV will be unveiled by Maruti Suzuki at the next Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, which will take place in New Delhi from January 17 to 22. The company’s long-awaited electric SUV was supposed to make its worldwide premiere this year, but a number of problems caused it to be delayed.
In a recent interaction, a senior Maruti executive said, “We will officially announce the BEV [born electric vehicle] at the Auto Expo in India in January next year, and we hope to launch it in early 2025. We will give priority to Europe first.”
India will be the mother plant for the eVX, a global product for which the parent company Suzuki is looking to cater to key international markets on priority.
As we reported earlier, the made-in-India Maruti eVX will also go on sale in the very competitive European market and Japan. These are some of the first international markets for it. This SUV’s series production is now expected to commence early next year, and most of the units produced here will be for exports, for which the planned annual output is 1.5 lakh units.
The eVX, when introduced, will be aimed squarely at the Tata Curvv EV, Hyundai’s Creta EV, the BYD Atto 3 and Mahindra’s born EV line-up, which is also in the pipeline. The eVX is being developed in partnership with Toyota, so there also will be a Toyota iteration that will go on sale a few months after the eVX’s launch.
