The newly developed SUV is the first battery-electric vehicle to emerge from the collaboration between Toyota and Suzuki. It is based on an all-electric platform jointly developed by Suzuki, Toyota and Daihatsu. In addition to dynamic driving characteristics, the electric car with optional all-wheel drive is said to offer a long range and a comfortable interior.
The Suzuki eVX concept car provided a preview of the new vehicle. The 4.3-meter-long, 1.8-meter-wide and 1.6-meter-high SUV was presented at the beginning of 2023. With a 60 kWh traction battery, it should be able to achieve a range of up to 550 km (according to the modified Indian driving cycle; MIDC).

"By leveraging the BEV unit and platform that we jointly developed, we will take a new step in our collaboration in the field of electrified vehicles", said Koji Sato, President of Toyota Motor Corporation. The beginning of the partnership between Suzuki and Toyota dates back to 2016. The new model is to be manufactured at Suzuki's Gujarat plant in India from spring 2025 and offered by Toyota and Suzuki worldwide.
