Suzuki to launch its first EV in India by 2025

Suzuki's compact EV could be priced at around Rs. 10.20 lakh.

According to a media report, Suzuki Motor Corporation plans to enter the electric vehicle (EV) market by 2025, starting with the Indian market.

While Suzuki has been saying that it will enter the EV and strong hybrid segment in India by 2025, a spokesperson clarified that the company is yet to announce whether it will launch EVs in India first.

The report also states that Suzuki is planning a compact EV that could be priced at around US$ 13,626 (which is about Rs. 10.20 lakh). This price is said to include the various subsidies offered by the government.

In response to this, the Suzuki spokesperson stated that the company hadn't made an official announcement regarding the price of its electric car for the Indian market.

Meanwhile, test mules of the WagonR EV are already out on the streets. The car is likely to use a 72 V electric drive powered by a 10-25 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
