Suzuki to Manufacture First EV for Toyota at New Gujarat Plant

Maruti Suzuki's eVX, developed with Toyota and Daihatsu, marks a shift towards electric vehicles with production starting in 2025.

  • The Maruti Suzuki eVX, the company's first all-electric vehicle, will begin production at a new facility in Gujarat, India, in spring 2025.
  • Suzuki and Toyota are expanding their partnership to include electric vehicles, a first for their collaboration which previously focused on combustion and hybrid models.
  • The eVX will feature a 60-kilowatt-hour battery with a range of up to 500 kilometers, and will be produced exclusively at the Gujarat plant.
  • Maruti Suzuki plans to manufacture 250,000 units annually at the Gujarat facility, aiming to supply the EV globally, including to Japan and Europe.
  • This initiative is part of a broader strategy by Toyota to introduce 10 battery-powered vehicles by 2026, reinforcing India's role as an EV production hub for Suzuki.
