    Maruti eVX Clear Spy Shots Leaked – Or Is It Production-Spec Toyota Urban Crossover?

    by

    Maruti eVX Clear Spy ShotsWhile Toyota’s version of this vehicle is confirmed, Maruti eVX is highly to launch first and will be a global product
    India’s leading car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, is poised to take the wraps off its first-ever electric car. It will be the production version of eVX Concept and the production-spec model stays loyal to original design. The latest spy shots of eVX suggest that there is a slight possibility of it being a Toyota version. Let’s take a look.
    Maruti eVX Clear Spy Shots
    While Maruti Suzuki is a strong advocate in demanding tax benefits to strong hybrid vehicles, the company is also interested in pure EVs. The company is set to launch their first-ever pure EV soon and it will spawn a Toyota counterpart as well, as confirmed by the company recently.
    Maruti eVX Side
    Production of this electric SUV will commence in Q2 of calendar year 2025. The company has also confirmed that this electric SUV will come with 4WD capability, something that is not seen with the current crop of compact electric SUVs like MG ZS EV and Tata Curvv EV and upcoming Hyundai Creta EV.
    The recent spy shots are some of the clearest till date, credited to True Car Advice. Thus showing great details about this upcoming vehicle. This will be a global vehicle and will be sold in many export markets like Europe under Suzuki brand. Production will happen in Maruti Suzuki’s Gujarat plant.
    Maruti eVX Fascia
    Overall silhouette looks like it is a giant S-Presso with a slight sloping roofline. While the recent test mule was fully camouflaged, it showed a few design elements. For starters, it gets production-spec lighting at the front and rear matching with previous spy shots seen both in India and abroad.
    There are production-spec wheels too, but with an interesting twist. These wheels are 5-spoke unit with a slotted design where aerodynamic covers will fit on top. So, the same alloy wheel can be used for both Maruti and Toyota with just different aerodynamic covers, which is a smart touch.
    Maruti eVX Rear
    What to expect?
    Except for the fascia and tail lights, both Maruti’s and Toyota’s version of this EV might look identical. Similar to how Ertiga-Rumion, Baleno-Glanza, Grand Vitara-Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Fronx-Urban Cruiser Taisor and Innova Hycross-Invicto have been executed. Like a typical badge-engineering exercise.
    Battery size can go up to 60 kWh in size and quote a range of up to 500 km on a single charge. It will have 4WD option as confirmed by the company recently. Floating centre console, premium interiors, ADAS, 360-degree camera are some of the notable attributes expected from this vehicle. Production will commence in Q2 of calendar year 2025 at Maruti Suzuki’s Gujarat plant.

      Maruti Electric Car Charging Station At Nexa Dealership Ahead Of EV Launch

      by

      Maruti Electric Car Charging StationSpeculated to launch sometime in 2025, Maruti Suzuki eVX will rival the likes of Tata Curvv EV, MG ZS EV and upcoming Hyundai Creta EV
      India’s largest car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, has been a sales champion with a robust ICE portfolio. There have been decent strides from the company where electrifications are concerned. After launching a self-charging non PHEV, Maruti is poised to launch its first BEV. Ahead of launch, a Nexa dealership has installed a charging station, peaking our interest.
      Maruti Electric Car Charging Station
      Car dealerships of companies having an electric vehicle in their portfolio, usually install a charging station depending on variable parameters. Recent developments outside a Maruti Suzuki Nexa dealership in India have sparked a lot of interests. This could be the first of a chain of charging networks from Maruti Suzuki at their Nexa dealerships.
      Maruti eVX Electric SUV Spied
      That is because Maruti Suzuki has installed a charging station despite not having a PHEV or EV in its portfolio. This is a very interesting revelation. We say this because Maruti Suzuki eVX is right on the horizon and is expected to debut at 2025 Auto Expo.
      Speculations around this upcoming vehicle suggest that Maruti Suzuki will launch it in India by the end of 2025, while it will be sold in Europe and other markets first under the Suzuki brand. The new charging station at a Nexa dealership gives way to multiple speculations around the company’s electric future.
      Maruti EVX spied
      For starters, this development confirms that Maruti Suzuki will sell its upcoming electric car portfolio through Nexa dealerships. Exclusively or not, not confirmed yet. Also, Maruti Suzuki might be investing into its own charging network, similar to what Tata Group has done.
      Maruti EVX Electric SUV – Render
      Another key takeaway from this development could be the launch timeline of eVX, which is Maruti’s first electric car. Considering the increasing test mule sighting frequency and the new charging station installed in a Nexa dealership, there is a tiny possibility of it launching in India by the end of 2025.
      Maruti’s 1st electric car
      eVX is Suzuki’s first fully-electric car and is a global vehicle with launch intentions in India. It has been spied on many times in India with camouflage. It will spawn a Toyota counterpart in the future with similar powertrains and performance based on Urban Crossover Concept showcased some time ago.
      We can expect upto 60 kWh battery capacity and a single motor layout driving the front wheels. Claimed range from a single charge could be around 500 km, something similar to Tata Curvv EV. Other rivals include MG ZS EV and upcoming Hyundai Creta EV, which is also spied testing in India.

      Maruti Electric SUV Global Debut At 2025 Auto Expo – Launch Early 2025

      by

      Maruti Electric SUV India Launch PlansWhen launched, Maruti Suzuki eVX will rival the likes of MG ZS EV, Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra XUV400 and upcoming Hyundai Creta EV
      Unveiled as a concept form, Suzuki eVX Concept is the company’s first BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles). eVX carries a crossover SUV design and proportions along with a premium interior. Testing for eVX is in full swing and is inching production by the day. Now, Global Suzuki has revealed launch timeline for eVX. Let’s take a look.
      Maruti Suzuki eVX Launch Timeline
      India’s best-selling car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, has had a robust ICE portfolio on offer. The company has recently expanded its powertrain scope to strong hybrid technology through a strategic partnership with Toyota. The obvious next step for the brand is BEVs. In that regard, we will get a new BEV early 2025.
      Maruti Electric SUV launch plans
      Yes! Early 2025 is when Suzuki will take the veil off its first-ever BEV. The company has revealed that they will announce their first BEV at Auto Expo in India in January 2025. This would be the first time the company is foraying into fully electric cars.
      Suzuki has also revealed a stage-wise launch plan, prioritizing Europe as its primary market. This way, the company will position its upcoming BEV which might be called eVX as a global product. After Europe, Suzuki intends to launch it in markets like India and Japan. Launch might happen in other ASEAN nations in the future too.
      Maruti Suzuki eVX Launch Timeline Revealed
      The company was tight-lipped about what will be powering Suzuki’s first electric car. Official stand is that the company should refrain from revealing battery details as per their contract with the supplier. So, official numbers regarding powertrains of eVX SUV are under wraps.
      Maruti EVX Electric Old wheel design
      Apart from BEVs, Global Suzuki also divulged their stance and roadmap with regard to HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles). As of now, Suzuki is procuring strong hybrid technology as THS models from Toyota. However, the company is working on their proprietary strong hybrid electric vehicles and mild hybrid electric vehicles too.
      What to expect?
      Where design is concerned, Maruti Suzuki eVX looks like a larger version of S-Presso with an air of sophistication. LED lighting, all-wheel disc brakes, rear door handles on C-Pillars, charging port on front-left fender, large alloy wheels (believed to be 18-inchers), connected tail lights, 360-degree camera, roof spoiler and radar module for ADAs are some of the notable exterior features.
      On the inside, we can expect a large free-standing infotainment screen, a floating centre console, sporty seats, auto climate control, an electronic parking brake, a sunroof, rear AC vents and more. Battery could be up to 60 kWh in size with a promised range of around 500 km on a single charge. Obvious rivals are MG ZS EV, Mahindra XUV400, Tata Curvv EV and upcoming Hyundai Creta EV. More

      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

      Maruti Ignis Electric 200 Kmph Top Speed – Fastest Indian Modified EV

      by

      Maruti Ignis Electric does 200 kmphPune based Northway Motors demonstrates 200 km/h top speed on EV converted Ignis indicated by car’s original speedoIgnis from Maruti Suzuki has been one of the cute little vehicles on sale in India. This car is the entry portal into their premium Nexa experience. Ignis is not exactly shattering sales charts and is currently maintaining sub 3K units. So, nothing interesting, right? But what if we told you someone converted it to run on electricity and made it go 200 kmph? Not so boring now, is it?Maruti Ignis Electric ModifiedIndia’s four-wheel juggernaut, Maruti Suzuki is known for its small and affordable hatchbacks that are easy on the wallet. While there are many Maruti cars following this ethos sold through Arena dealerships, there is only one for Nexa dealerships, the Ignis. With steady sub 3K sales, Ignis is currently India’s 11th best-selling hatchback.Maruti Ignis Electric does 200 kmphBut for Maruti Suzuki, sub 3K sales puts it at the bottom parts of the charts and is 13th best-selling Maruti car. For Pune-based Northway Motors, however, Maruti Ignis was a good donor car to retrofit one of their EV conversion kits. The company specializes in Retrofit EV conversion kits for Tata Ace, EV products and sales, custom OEM products and energy storage solutions.We’re not sure whether Northway Motors used the same EV conversion kit designed and developed for Tata Ace (Rs. 2.75 lakh excluding vehicle) or a custom solution. Regardless, the result is quite fascinating. As seen in the video, we can see a Maruti Suzuki Ignis converted to run on electric power donning green number plates.[embedded content]This EV conversion on Ignis is for R&D only and is tested in a controlled environment on a dynamometer and not on public roads. The conversion is done on a top-spec Ignis Alpha and the car gets green-painted alloy wheels to show its green credentials. Or to match the green registration plates.Maruti Ignis Electric does 200 kmphIgnis 200 kmph!As seen in the video, Northway Motors’ Maruti Ignis electric modified version is powered by a battery and a motor. EVs sold by almost every single OEM are equipped with a single-speed gearbox. Northway Motors, however, seems to have kept Ignis’ 5-speed gearbox for torque optimisation.Maruti Ignis Electric by Northway MotorsThe dyno run of this EV-converted Ignis shows good performance across all five pre-determined gear ratios. The headline figure of 200 km/h top speed is shown on the car’s original speedometer. Even if there is a variance, this is still impressive as it reveals the benefits of running a conventional gearbox with EVs as they tend to have a ratio close to 1 in their top gears or even an overdrive ratio. For OEMs, incorporating a conventional gearbox is more expensive, complicated and heavy. But for EV conversions, this could prove to be a good direction. More
