By Maruti Suzuki is testing its first electric model for the Indian market extensively across the country, which is the production version of the eVX concept. Like the previous spy shots, the test mule is heavily camouflaged to hide details and one thing we can make out is the design theme. But still, we can make out some of the design details, 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.
