Maruti EVX: The launch of the Maruti eVX, a smartphone-on-wheels designed to change the way we travel, represents a new era in the Indian automotive history as the country’s biggest car maker enters the all-electric market. The eVX is an all-new model developed from scratch as Suzuki’s product for the world, which also addresses the requirements of the customers in the Indian market. Unlike earlier hybrid or mild-electrics, the eVX is a full electric SUV and has been engineered from the ground up on a brand new platform, with striking exterior styling and the technology built in to keep it future-proof. A concept that took the wraps off, this EV is soon to be launched for production and it hopes to shift the way Indian consumers see electric mobility. The mass-market dominance that has been the hallmark of Maruti Suzuki and a large and widespread network is expected to eventually put the eVX in an influential position as India shifts to cleaner vehicles.

Striking Design That Signals Innovation

On the exterior, the eVX’s cosmetic design is modern and futuristic with a hint of SUV hunkiness. The styling also takes a very different approach to anything Maruti currently has on its line up and deviates to the experimental side. At the front is a closed-off grille, one of those EV characteristics, flanked by a slimline strip of LED lighting that stretches across the car’s nose. With high ground clearance, bold shoulder lines and an aerodynamic body, the all-new Subaru XV is a crossover to the core. Its knife-edged styling features, big alloy wheels and raked roofline create that sense of motion even when the car is parked. With its SUV dimensions, the design could be described as minimalistic and efficient, giving the eVX personality as a futuristic product. It’s definitely aimed at a more youthful, environmentally-conscious generation who value as much style as technology.

House That Has Transformed The Interior Writes In It The Story Of Space And Technology

Cabin layout A tech-savvy and minimalistic approach can be seen in the cabin layout of the Maruti eVX. While there can be changes when the production car rolls out, the interior of the concept gives an idea about what Maruti has in mind about luxury and tech. The dashboard will probably be a large, dual-screen layout, one for the instrument cluster and another for infotainment, with an emphasis on digital controls and voice integration. The cabin features sustainable materials, ambient lighting, and flat floor for style and space. Seating should be supportive and comfortable, and offer more knee and headroom than most traditional cars, as the batteries are placed low in the floor. There are plenty of storage nooks in the cabin, meaning it remains functional on a day-to-day basis. The interior is also clean and open, “and it’s also based on the calm and solidity of an electric drive system,” he says.

Battery Technology and Driving Range

At the heart of the eVX is an electric powertrain, aimed at providing the optimum compromise between power and range. What we know so far is a 60 kWh battery with a front wheel drive. This setup is expected to provide a claimed range of over 500 kilometers on a full charge, or the biggest question when it comes to Indian EV buyers — Will I run out of juice? The device should also make use of AC and DC fast charging, meaning owners will be able to re-juice the phone at home or on public networks. Maruti could also add connected-car features like battery status, battery charge scheduling and range estimates on a smartphone app. The goal is to create an electric car with which our customers can claim back,” said Thomas Ulbrich, Member of the Board of Management of the Volkswagen Brand responsible for E-Mobility.

Safety and Structural Integrity

Maruti eVX is an all-new platform and it’s under development with the focus on international safety standards as well as Indian regulations. We anticipate that the body structure will be comprised of high-strength steel, and have crumple zones designed to help shield passengers in a crash. Safety, however, is expected to be top-notch with 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control and ESC that could be standard or optional on the top-end trims. The EV-bespoke platform also includes battery protection by way of strengthened underbody panels and thermal management technologies. We expect, even in the pandemic environment, that driver-assistance features such as a 360-degree camera, parking sensors, and advanced braking technologies will be included, particularly as customers’ desire for safety continues to increase. All of these are designed to make eVX an eco-friendly and more importantly, safe and reliable car that families and individuals can rely on.

Digital Ecosystem and Connected Experience

The Maruti eVX is slated to arrive with a range of digital connectivity features. That includes over-the-air updates, connected infotainment with navigation and entertainment, remote climate control and AI-based driving guidance. As smartphones become more and more prevalent within the automobile, remote lock/unlock, geofencing, live location sharing and service alerts should all be features of said offering. Voice activated controls, wireless smart phone charging and smart voice assistant will provide added support for driving. These characteristics turn the vehicle from a passive mode of transport to an intelligent mobility companion. As they search for cars that match their digital lifestyles, the eVX ecosystem that surrounds the vehicle makes sure nothing gets between drivers and the info and power they need on the road. This digital-first strategy puts Maruti in league with global electric vehicle (EV) makers which think of cars as technology platforms as much as machines to commute.

Maruti EVX: A New Dawn for Indian EVs

The Maruti eVX is more than just a new car: it also represents an emblematic change for the Indian car industry. It’s a signal of the brand’s commitment to clean energy as it addresses critical factors such as charging network, affordability and after sales service. Given the eVX’s usable range, sturdy build quality and Maruti’s proven (and vast) service network, it really has the potential to be a game-changer in a country that’s shown so few signs of widespread electric vehicle uptake so far. Targeted toward families, city professionals and tech-savvy young people, the eVX is more than just a car: it embodies a vision of sustainable connected mobility. In the run up to launch, the excitement around this electric SUV is a clear representation of an increased aspiration towards sustainable mobility that is future-ready, affordable and eco-friendly. It’s in this context that the Maruti eVX will play the role of a defining vehicle in India’s electric future.
