By Maruti Suzuki officially revealed the eVX concept at the 2023 Auto Expo and the company commenced testing of the first production prototype earlier this month. Now the eVX test mule has been spotted testing again and this time it is in Bengaluru. The prototype doesn’t reveal many design details as everything is hidden under the wrap but still, we can make out some things like the overall body shape which is not going to be like a proper SUV instead the company is looking at a crossover theme just like the S-Cross as it is popular in European countries.
The Indo-Japanese manufacturer is known for making some kick-ass concept models but the production versions usually come out a lot different as they tend to play safe with design rather than going to the extreme like some of its competitors. The spy image reveals that mirrors are placed on the door instead of the A-pillar as it reduces drag and the alloy wheels on this particular prototype are similar to what we have seen on Baleno and the wheel arches are squared. The spoiler is integrated into the rear with full-length LED tail lamps.
The interior is not yet spotted but we can expect the design to be modern as the instrument cluster is likely to be fully digital while the infotainment system could be a 10-inch unit and connected car tech will be part of the package. We can expect Maruti to pack the eVX with lots of features. The eVX is based on a new electric platform developed with Toyota as the Japanese manufacturer will also introduce its version. Some reports indicate that the eVX could come with a 60 kWh battery pack with a 550 km range and a 48 kWh battery pack with a 400 km range.
