    Suzuki eVitara Vs Toyota Urban Cruiser EV Design Compared – Interiors And Exteriors

    eVitara Vs Urban Cruiser EVWhile most rivals come equipped with a single-motor FWD layout, Suzuki eVitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser EV offer a dual-motor 4WD option
    With electric vehicles getting more and more mainstream, OEMs are lining their offerings to cater for the growing demand. While Suzuki and Toyota are more into the ‘Hybrid vehicle’ school of thought, both companies are jointly launching global electric SUVs. Suzuki’s version is called eVitara. Toyota’s version of this vehicle debuted yesterday, called Urban Cruiser EV.
    Both the eVitara and Urban Cruiser EV are essentially the same vehicle with unique design elements. Design differences between these vehicles are more evident on the outside, while interiors are more-or-less identical. Let’s see a detailed image comparison between eVitara and Urban Cruiser EV.

    Both vehicles feature a similar silhouette as they are the same vehicles under their skin. Speaking of Skin, Suzuki is going for a contemporary appeal with a more rugged and muscular approach. We can see larger headlights, more muscular bumper with a bull-bar effect, and a more pronounced closed-off grill on eVitara.
    Urban Cruiser EV, on the other hand, has a more sleek and minimalistic design appeal. The headlights are a lot sleeker, with a C-shaped insignia. The front bumper has functional air channels to smoothen airflow. Only eVitara gets fog lights, though. These vehicles have wheel sizes up to 19 inches and feature unique aero covers.

    At the sides, both vehicles get similar ORVMs, body cladding and charging ports in left front quarter panel and rear door handle in C Pillars. At the rear, things are almost identical. Tail lights are connected, but LEDs inside them are not. They both feature a similar roof spoiler, rear unpainted bumper, shark-fin antenna and others.
    Identical Interiors
    On the inside, both eVitara and Urban Cruiser EV from Suzuki and Toyota, are almost identical. The only differences we can see are the change in brand logo and the colour theme. Suzuki has gone for a dual-tone Black and Brown theme, while Toyota has executed a slightly sportier-looking all-black theme.

    The strategic partnership between Suzuki and Toyota has proved fruitful for both brands with multiple badge-engineered products between them. Suzuki’s new EV, which has been under rigorous testing, will spawn a Toyota counterpart, as confirmed by the brand recently. Production will commence in Spring 2025 and launch will happen by Summer 2025.
    The recent spy shots show eVitara from up close. It was draped in camouflage like previous test mules. We can see that it has quite a bit of road presence, owing to its strong design elements. Design-wise, recently debuted eVitara shows a striking sporty fascia with a closed-off grill and some aggression.

    Headlights with LED DRLs look muscular with a strong presence and bumper includes an opening in the shape of a bull bar along with fog lights. Charging port is positioned at the front left quarter panel. Suzuki seems to be aiming for a slightly sloping roofline, which is in-trend currently in India and major global markets.
    It will measure 4,275 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, 1,635 mm in width and has a 2,700 mm long wheelbase. Minimum ground clearance is 180 mm and it has a kerb weight between 1,702 kg and 1,899 kg. There’s disc brakes on all four wheels.

    Specs & Features
    Suzuki eVitara and its Toyota counterpart will come equipped with either a 49 kWh or 61 kWh battery pack, with the latter offering dual-motor 4WD option. Based on a born-electric platform, eVitara is primarily a FWD vehicle packing up to a 172 bhp and 189 Nm motor. With 61 kWh variant, 4WD variant brings a rear electric motor with 64 bhp at the rear for a total system output of 181 bhp and 300 Nm.

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

    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

    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.
