“I can tell you that if you are asking about EV, for example, we will be displaying it in the Auto Expo or the Bharat Mobility Show in January '25. We have total six EV models lined up all the way to 2031. And the second one is also close behind,” said Rahul Bharti, Executive Director, Corporate Affairs, Maruti Suzuki during the brand’s earnings call held in late July 2024.
The EVX has been undergoing extensive testing both on Indian roads and abroad with Maruti Suzuki planning to launch the EV in markets across the globe. The concepts have previewed a sleek and futuristic electric SUV featuring unique Y-shaped lighting elements up front.
