Suzuki eVX Unveiled at Japan Mobility Show; Gets Two-spoke Steering Wheel, Panoramic Sunroof and More Features

The 2023 Japan Mobility Show has begun and is making headlines with several exciting product unveilings. One of the notable automakers showcasing their models at the event is Suzuki. The eVX electric SUV and the Swift Concept are so far the major highlights of the Japanese firm's product lineup at the event. Although the eVX concept was shown before at the Auto Expo in India, the version recently unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show features some revised design elements. During the Auto Expo, the electric SUV concept was only shown from the outside. Now, the automaker has officially shown the interior of the SUV in Japan. Going inside the electric SUV, you'll notice its simple and elegant design layout. It features two integrated screens - one for the instrument cluster and another for infotainment. Additionally, the SUV includes a two-spoke steering wheel, a rotary gear selection dial, touch-based AC vent controls, and a panoramic sunroof. 

For the uninitiated, Maruti Suzuki debuted the eVX, an all-electric concept SUV, at the Indian Auto Expo this year. Developed in collaboration with Toyota, the eVX is the Japanese automaker's first electric SUV and is expected to make its entry in a production vehicle form sometime next year in India.
