Maruti Suzuki eVX Test Mule Spotted Again
The latest set of leaked Maruti Suzuki eVX test mule images shows the car wrapped in heavy camouflage. However, it seems that an ADAS sensor is mounted upfront. Until now, Maruti Suzuki hasn’t incorporated ADAS into any of its available models. If this information is correct, it would be the first time ever we will get to see ADAS suite in any Maruti Suzuki-labelled vehicle.
Unfortunately, the leaked image doesn’t reveal if the eVX electric SUV will be loaded with ADAS Level 1 or ADAS Level 2 suite. We should get a confirmation on this once the launch approaches. The exterior design as seen with the test mule is similar to the concept version showcased earlier. The interiors are yet to be spied.
However, we can expect the eVX to offer a range of advanced features including a 360-degree camera and a two-spoke steering wheels with controls mounted on it. The Maruti Suzuki eVX is also expected to come with a panoramic sunroof and adjustable seats for comfortable drive positioning.
