Suzuki’s Upcoming Electric Minivan: What to Expect

Introduction

Suzuki has officially announced that the production version of the EVX SUV will be unveiled in 2025. However, recent reports from India suggest that Suzuki is also developing an electric minivan, set to launch in the Indian market by September 2026. This minivan will share its platform with the upcoming Vitara-sized SUV.

Key Details

The electric minivan, codenamed YMC, will be the first of its kind to feature the Suzuki emblem. It will be built on the “27PL skateboard” architecture, a collaborative effort between Suzuki and Toyota designed to accommodate various body styles. The powertrain is expected to mirror that of the EVX SUV, offering battery options of 40 kWh and 60 kWh, with an estimated range of up to 500 km (311 miles) and AWD capability.

Speculative Rendering

While an official concept is yet to be revealed, speculations suggest that Suzuki may showcase a concept version of the minivan in the coming years. To give enthusiasts an idea of its potential design, we have created a speculative rendering based on Suzuki’s current design language. The minivan is likely to be longer than the EVX SUV, accommodating a three-row seating layout and sharing components like the dashboard and digital cockpit.

Maruti Suzuki’s Expansion Plans

According to Autocar India, Maruti Suzuki intends to introduce eight new vehicles in the Indian market, including three fully electric models. Before the launch of the EVX SUV and electric minivan, Suzuki will introduce hybrid versions of the Baleno, Fronx, and Swift as part of its electrification strategy.

Conclusion

As Suzuki gears up for its electric vehicle lineup expansion, the anticipation for the electric minivan continues to grow. With innovative technology and a commitment to sustainability, Suzuki is poised to make a significant impact in the electric vehicle market.
