As part of its commitment to advancing sustainable mobility, PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales (SIS) has made a significant splash at the 2024 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS). The event, which runs from July 17 to July 28, 2024, at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) BSD in Tangerang, Banten, showcases the best in automotive innovation, and Suzuki has positioned itself at the forefront with the introduction of the eVX electric car concept.
The Suzuki Indonesia showroom stands out with its vibrant display and the much-anticipated Southeast Asian debut of the eVX electric car concept. This launch is a crucial part of Suzuki’s global strategy, highlighting the company’s commitment to sustainable automotive solutions.
Minoru Amano, President Director of PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales, opened the event with an insightful statement. “Suzuki is developing a variety of unique carbon-neutral solutions for the global automotive industry. Multi-pathway is Suzuki’s global strategy in addressing the current carbon neutrality issue, one of which is through the development of battery-based electric vehicles (BEV), which are currently a hot topic. As part of Suzuki’s global strategy, we are bringing, showing, and introducing the concept of the eVX electric car to the public in Indonesia, as a reference for Suzuki’s future answer to the challenge of carbon neutrality.”
The unveiling of the eVX is not just a showcase of a new vehicle; it represents Suzuki’s forward-thinking approach to environmental responsibility. The eVX is designed to be an SUV capable of performing both on-road and off-road, reflecting the theme “High-tech x Adventure.” This combination of advanced technology with a rugged SUV silhouette is aimed at meeting the demands of modern consumers who seek both innovation and durability.
The eVX’s exterior design is marked by its robust dimensions: 4,300 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, and 1,600 mm in height. These measurements underscore the vehicle’s strength and toughness, essential qualities for an SUV designed to handle diverse driving conditions. The BEV platform’s advantages ensure that the eVX offers a spacious interior, enhancing comfort and utility. The interior design emphasizes the SUV’s toughness with rugged seat shapes, while its sophistication is highlighted by a large seamless display and a dial shift, truly embodying the “High-tech x Adventure” theme.
A standout feature of the eVX is its advanced EV 4WD ALLGRIP drivetrain system, an evolution of Suzuki’s renowned drivetrain technology, now tailored specifically for electric vehicles. This system ensures that the eVX can deliver outstanding performance on various terrains, making it a versatile choice for drivers who need reliability both in urban settings and off-road adventures.
With a range of up to 500 km, the eVX promises extensive travel capabilities, allowing drivers to embark on long journeys without the constant worry of recharging. This range is particularly appealing for those who enjoy road trips and off-road explorations, as it provides the freedom to travel further with confidence.
The eVX’s introduction at GIIAS 2024 marks its third global appearance, following its initial launches in India and Japan. This underlines Suzuki’s strategic emphasis on the Indonesian market, recognizing the country’s importance as Suzuki’s third-largest pillar globally. The positive reception and growing awareness of environmentally friendly vehicles in Indonesia make it an ideal location for showcasing such innovations.
“Suzuki believes that to face the challenges of global environmental issues, it is necessary to provide various alternative vehicles for customer needs through a multi-pathway strategy, one of which is through electric vehicles (BEV),” said Amano. “The SUV style carried by the eVX is Suzuki’s response to suggestions from many customers in the global market.”
The presentation of the eVX concept car at GIIAS 2024 is expected to draw significant attention from visitors. This is an opportunity for attendees to experience firsthand Suzuki’s high technology and global strategy, particularly their efforts in developing zero-emission vehicles. The concept car’s presence is anticipated to be a major attraction, as it signifies Suzuki’s commitment to a sustainable automotive future.
Moreover, Suzuki’s display at GIIAS 2024 includes three hybrid models as part of the Low Carbon Emission Vehicle (LCEV) program, which have been well-received in the Indonesian market. These models, along with the eVX, showcase Suzuki’s multi-faceted approach to achieving carbon neutrality.
