Suzuki EVX electric car caught on camera in Europe
The first global electric car from Japanese small-car specialist Suzuki has been spotted testing in Europe ahead of showroom arrivals in 2025. Will it come to Australia?
Suzuki’s first electric vehicle for global markets – including Europe, Japan and Australia – has been photographed ahead of its overseas launch in 2025, and a possible Australian arrival soon after.
Images posted on social media – and spotted by Polish website Autogaleria – show the production Suzuki electric car will be closely related to the EVX concept unveiled in India this January.
The production car remains faithful to the design of the concept, with similar proportions, flared rear haunches, ‘hidden’ rear door handles, and what seems to be an LED tail-light bar beneath the black plastic wrapping disguise.
There have been some changes, most notably the X-shaped LED headlights of the concept have been ditched in favour of more conventional single-piece light units.
It is unclear if these are provisional units for testing, or the final product.
Inside, the spy photos show Suzuki will step into the digital era with twin widescreen displays reminiscent of the latest BMWs and Renaults, connected within a single panel across much of the dashboard.
The steering wheel is an all-new two-spoke unit, while the centre console looks nothing like the designs in current Suzuki models.
The Suzuki EVX concept unveiled in January measured 4300mm long, 1800mm wide and 1600mm tall – placing it in Australia’s small SUV class, and giving it a similar footprint to the current Suzuki Vitara and S-Cross.
The concept was claimed to be powered by a 60kWh battery pack good for 550 kilometres of claimed driving range – albeit tested to more lenient MIDC standards than the stricter, but still lab-tested WLTP metric used in Europe.
The production version of the Suzuki EVX concept is expected to launch overseas in 2025, and may be built at a new factory for electric cars in India – where nearly one in two cars sold are Suzukis.
Drive understands the electric vehicle – also expected to be sold in Europe, where it was spied – is on Suzuki Australia’s wish list, and could be here in 2026.
Drive has previously speculated the new electric car could adopt the Vitara name, as it is due at a similar time to when a new Vitara would be due. However, this name is yet to be confirmed.
