      Maruti eVX Prod-Spec Headlights, Tail Lights Spotted For The First Time

      by

      Maruti Suzuki eVX Production-spec HeadlightsWhen launched, Maruti Suzuki eVX will rival MG ZS EV and Mahindra XUV400 along with upcoming Tata Curvv EV, Hyundai Creta EV and othersSuzuki’s first electric vehicle, the eVX, is set to launch sometime in 2025 and the testing is going on in full swing. The engineering samples of eVX have been spotted on multiple occasions. Up until now, these mules donned make-shift temporary headlights and tail lights, while production-spec lighting has just been finalised, revealed by recent spy shots.Maruti Suzuki eVX Production-Spec LightingIndia’s largest car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, used to be known for small, light affordable hatchbacks. The narrative has changed in the recent past with vehicles marketed under ‘Utility’ tag having gained centre stage. Suzuki is developing its maiden EV and it takes the shape of an SUV too.Maruti Suzuki eVX Production-Spec LightingCalled eVX, it has been testing both in India and globally for the past year. These test mules showed a lot about the Maruti Suzuki eVX and painted quite a picture in our minds. It adheres to the Suzuki eVX concept showcased in January 2023. Launch is likely to happen in 2025 and India will be a market as well as a production and hub.However, the test mules spotted here in India and abroad didn’t have final production-spec lighting elements. In this sense, they used temporary makeshift projector headlights with exposed halogen tail lights. The new test mules spotted in Southern Europe show production-spec headlights and tail lights.Maruti Suzuki eVX Production-spec Tail LightsThese headlights have LEDs in them, unlike the old temporary headlights seen in previous test mules. Main LED headlights are housed in a projector and the LED DRL signature seems to float above and below this projector. This LED DRL signature seems to be complementing the overall fascia that also has an X-shape design.Tail lights are finalised too and are LEDs. Overall signature is similar to what we saw in Suzuki eVX concept. Top LED in tail lights is likely to connect with the other one with an LED light bar. This particular test mule, however, didn’t possess the new production-spec alloy wheel design we saw with latest spy shots in India.Maruti Suzuki eVX New Alloys Spied In IndiaWhat else do we know so far?Apart from new lighting elements, recent test mules don’t reveal anything new. Something interesting. Say, a rear electric motor. Sadly, that’s not the case. However, speculations suggest there may be a dual-motor AWD variant with eVX along with a single-motor FWD layout option.Both are likely to draw power from a 60 kWh battery, promising around 500 km of range on a single charge. Interiors are fairly premium, befitting of a global car. A floating centre console, large infotainment screen, 360-degree camera, charging port on front-left quarter panel are some of the notable attributes.Source More

The latter will be utilizing an ICE-derived electric vehicle architecture.Hyundai Inster InteriorInster EV is based on the Casper, a crossover city car, available in select overseas markets.

Wheelbase has been extended by 180 mm to accommodate a decent sized battery pack. Inster is 3,825 mm long, which is slightly smaller in comparison to 3,857 mm long Tata Punch.

      Hyundai Inster Electric SUV Walkaround – Interiors, Exteriors, Sunroof, Bootspace

      by

      Hyundai Inster Electric SUV WalkaroundAs of now, Hyundai Inter launch date is still in the blur and the company is yet to reveal intended markets along with future sporty versionsKia and Hyundai is on the offensive when it comes to launching new electric vehicles. Apart from their global EVs with high-volt architecture (EV lineup for Kia and Ioniq for Hyundai), both companies have made rapid advances in low-voltage architecture EVs as well. The latest of the latter, is Hyundai Inster and here’s a walkaround of this vehicle from Fully Charged Show.Hyundai Inster Detailed WalkaroundHyundai Inster Detailed WalkaroundTeased early last month, Hyundai took the veil off its new Inster EV late last month. This is an electric version of Casper ICE vehicle that is sold exclusively in South Korea as of now. The recently debuted Inster is not launched yet and the intended markets are currently unknown.Hyundai Inster RearAccording to Hyundai, Inster name is inspired by the words ‘Innovate’ and ‘Intimate’ and fused with Casper. The video from Fully Charged Show demonstrates the exterior and interior highlights of this new Inster. This mainstream affordable electric offering carries a friendly design that should appeal to the masses.On the outside, Inster’s overall silhouette has been carried over from the Casper with subtle design changes. Especially at the front and rear, Inster now carries a lot of Pixel-inspired design attributes seen on more expensive Ioniq models. We can see pixel-effect LED turn indicators and the same pixel effect is in tail light signature too.[embedded content]Other notable attributes on the outside are round headlights with crosshair-like LED DRL signature, front charging port, thick B and C Pillars, swanky 17-inch alloy wheels, muscular side profile with sharp lines and wide haunches, along with crossover elements like roof rails, chunky body cladding, faux skid plates and the likes.Modern interiorsWe know Inster gained some length over Casper. More important gain is in the wheelbase. At 2,580 mm, Inster’s wheelbase unlocks a lot of interior room and the tall-boy design certainly helps in carving headroom. Boot space is a decent 280L. But with the optional sliding seats, boot space can be expanded to 351L!Hyundai Inster BootInteriors look a lot more upmarket and sophisticated, especially compared to other Hyundai’s of this size. New steering wheel gets the 4-dot logo, which reads H in Morse Code. As it doesn’t have a transmission tunnel and a center console, Hyundai is offering a front bench. Gear selector is on the steering column and looks similar to the one we saw on India-spec Creta EV.There are two 10.2-inch screens (one for infotainment, one for instrumentation), front ventilated seats, soothing pastel colour theme, single-pane sunroof, physical auto climate controls, funky seat upholstery, ambient lighting and more.Hyundai Inster InteriorPowertrain-wise, Hyundai Inster offers a 42 kWh and 49 kWh battery options that are mated to 97 PS and 115 PS electric motors respectively. Range is 300 km for smaller battery and 355 km for the larger battery variant. Hyundai is offering 11 kW AC charging as standard and 125 kW DC charging.Also read – Sporty N and N Line versions of Hyundai Inster Rendered More
