Upcoming Maruti eVX electric car spied testing, revealing fresh details

As Maruti Suzuki gears up to make debut in India's growing electric vehicle segment, the carmaker continues to test its first electric car eVX on Indian roads. In the latest spotting, the eVX was seen near Gurugram with around six people on board and other fresh details about the upcoming EV. The eVX, which will be compact in size, has already been showcased by the carmaker at several auto shows in India and abroad. The eVX is expected to be launched in India some time next year.

The latest spy shot of Maruti eVX shared on social media reveals the electric car is likely to get a different alloy wheel design than the one showcased by the carmaker earlier. The test mule captured on camera is seen with a five-spoke alloy wheel design unlike the 10-spoke alloys seen with earlier test units. The size of the wheels are expected to be 16 inches or bigger. The spy shots also reveal that the eVX is likely to get the rear door handles mounted on the C-pillar like the older generation Swift. This has also been spotted in earlier test units and is different from the showcased concept version.
