This will be the first fully electric Suzuki: 500 kilometers of range

At the beginning of this year, Suzuki opened up a huge bag of money. It will invest more than 30 billion euros in the development of electric cars in the coming years. By 2030, 80 percent of all Suzukis sold must have an electric powertrain. That percentage is now exactly zero percent, because an EV does not currently offer it. Suzuki will launch five completely new models in Europe until 2030. The first of these will be an electric crossover, the production version of this Suzuki eVX Concept.

The Suzuki eVX as it was shown in January.

There is a chance that the eVX Concept looks somewhat familiar to you. Shortly before Suzuki revealed its EV plans for Europe at the beginning of this year, Suzuki presented the eVX Concept in India. The design of that study model has now been fine-tuned and we now have photos of the interior of the concept car for the first time. The fact that the eVX Concept was presented in India certainly does not mean that the car remains reserved for that country. Suzuki calls the eVX its first ‘Global Strategic EV’, i.e. a world car.

Dimensions and design

The Suzuki eVX Concept – its name stands for Emotional Versatile Cruiser – is 4.3 meters long, 1.8 meters wide and 1.6 meters high. This makes it a good 10 centimeters longer than the Vitara. Also interesting: according to Suzuki it is a four-wheel drive. That would indicate the presence of two electric motors. The car is presented with a 60 kWh battery pack, from which the electric Suzuki should be able to squeeze out a range of 500 kilometers. A best performance.

Suzuki eVX Concept

Broadly speaking, the new eVX Concept still resembles the version from the beginning of this year. However, the headlights have become a lot more concrete. The bumper work is also new, the Suzuki logo has been moved up and extra LED elements have been added to the snout. The car as a whole looks a lot more concrete than before, partly helped by the arrival of more conventional side mirrors that replace the stick-mounted cameras of the previously shown version.

The rear has also been renewed. The rear lights no longer consist of LED bars as the crow flies, but now consist of three horizontal LED stripes on either side. The Suzuki logo sits higher, breaking up the black bar that connects the taillights.

Interior

For the first time we also see the interior of the eV Concept. The dashboard is visually divided into three parts and includes a large display that functions as an infotainment screen and as digital instruments. Also striking are the touch-sensitive buttons that are placed in the otherwise optically empty center console. More striking parts are the steering wheel and the round rotary knob for choosing the direction of travel. Suzuki has been campaigning for the survival of the black rhino for years. This has been evident for a long time from various stickers that it places on cars and from the Rhino promotional models that it regularly produces. We also see a hint of the endangered horned mammal in the eVX Concept. There is a rhino shape in the dial.

The production version of the Suzuki eVX Concept is planned for around 2025.
