Suzuki’s electrification is a reality as demonstrated by its range full of hybrid engines, however the Japanese brand had not yet taken the final step towards a 100% electric vehicle… until today. Under the name of Suzuki eVXthe Japanese manufacturer has just announced what it will be like its first compact and electric SUV, a car that should not take too long to see in Europe and that aspires to rival cars like the Peugeot e-2008 or the Opel Mokka Electric.
On the occasion of the celebration of the motor show in Delhi, India, Suzuki has presented the Suzuki eVX prototype there. Is about a concept car that aims to advance what will be the brand’s first electric SUVbut also the new design language that little by little we will see reaching Suzuki models around the world.
The design and technology of the eVX anticipate what the next Suzuki cars will be like
There are few details that Suzuki has offered about this eVX, but the use of a lithium-ion battery with 60 kWh capacityestimating a autonomy of up to 550 kilometers under the Indian MIDC certification cycle (much more favorable than the European WLTP). Taking into account that we are talking about a 4.3 meter long SUV1.8 meters wide and 1.6 meters high, it is about a model quite similar to the Suzuki Vitara that is marketed todaywhich could translate into a replacement for this model and in the advancement of what will be its fully electric version.
Suzuki has previously confirmed that it is working on the electrification of each and every one of its models, which is why it already offers different hybrid options in its range. The idea of launching a 100% electric model is also present in these plans, with rumors of the launch of a new model capable of rivaling the Dacia Spring in Europe, as well as a production version of this Suzuki eVX that is scheduled to hit the streets by 2025.
