The final production-spec version of Maruti’s highly anticipated eVX will make its global debut in Milan, Italy, on November 4. This underscores the eVX’s importance as a global product for parent company Suzuki, as a significant portion of the made-in-India EV’s production has been marked for export to Europe and Japan.
- Production-spec Maruti eVX India debut in January 2025
- Production target for first year is 1.4 lakh units; 50 percent marked for export
- eVX India launch expected in March 2025
The Maruti eVX will be produced at Suzuki’s Gujarat plant, and the start of production (SOP) is scheduled for March 2025. The reason behind the eVX’s Milan debut, which is for local European press and dealers, is because the e-SUV is a global product. In fact, the production target for the first year is 1.4 lakh units, of which 50 percent has been earmarked for export.
Indian audiences will have to wait until the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, which will be held from January 17-22, to see the production-spec eVX in the flesh. However, ours will be the first market where the EV's price will be announced; due to delays, the launch is now expected two months after the India debut. The eVX will then be introduced to select European markets, followed by Japan.
When it arrives in March 2025, the production version of the Maruti eVX will rival the recently launched Tata Curvv EV (Rs 17.49 lakh-21.99 lakh) and the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV. It will also spawn Toyota’s derivative of the eVX, which was previewed by the Urban SUV concept. This e-SUV is also scheduled to go into production in the March of next year at Suzuki's Gujarat plant, though the price announcement is expected later in the year.
Expect the two EVs two share the same battery pack options (48kWh and 60kWh units are expected), along with the e-motors. However, Maruti has yet to confirm if the production-spec eVX will have AWD capability, which Toyota’s version is said to boast of.
