JAKARTA - Suzuki is reportedly developing a number of models in the next three to four years for the Indian market. For this year. the manufacturer with the 'S' logo will launch the latest generation of Swift and All New Dzire in the second half.

Reporting from Gaadiwaadi, Monday, February 5, the brand known as Maruti Suzuki in the continent's children's country is expected to launch its first electric car, eVX, by the end of 2024. eVX carries an SUV style and reports on using the YY8 platform, which is a rebudge version of Toyota's 27PL global architecture.

Furthermore, the latest Grand Vitara model will also come in 2025 with a seven-seater version that will carry the code name Y17.

In addition, the company, which was founded in 1909, will also present a small twin-sized SUV from Suzuki Spacia which is sold in Japan and plans to electrify MPV ranks.

Carrying the YMC code, the model will later carry the same base as the eVX. It is likely that the car will start selling from the end of 2026. It is likely that this model will offer the same battery pack as the SUV.

It is hoped that this MPV can provide a satisfactory reach with a 60 kWh battery pack, so that it can produce a distance of more than 500 km in one charge.

The MPV will be codenamed YDB and will be placed under Ertiga in the Indian market, thus competing with models like Renault Triber. Apart from EVs, this car will be offered with a millid-hybrid engine from the 1.2 liter Z 3-cylinder series coming from the latest Swift.

Just like the eVX, this vehicle will be assembled in India, precisely in the Suzuki production facility at Hansalpur. It is interesting to look forward to the breakthrough from this manufacturer which is starting to look at the electrification segment for the future.
