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.
