What it is

  • Toyota has confirmed a new battery-electric SUV for India, based on the collaboration with Maruti Suzuki (the “eVX” platform) — built in Gujarat and planned for launch in 2025.

  • The model is described as the “Toyota version of the eVX” and shares the “27PL” electric skateboard architecture developed with Suzuki and Daihatsu. Autocar India+2Autocar India+2

    • Expected specs & appeal

    • Two battery pack options: an entry variant (~48 kWh) and a higher variant (~60 kWh). The higher variant could deliver ~ 400 km or more range. Autocar India+2Autocar India+2

    • AWD (dual-motor) option expected in some markets. Autocar India+1

    • Premium SUV styling, good technology content, likely strong ride/premium feel.

    Expected pricing & segment

    • Some reports suggest an expected price around ₹20 lakh to ₹25 lakh for this SUV in India. India Car News+1

    • Note: “Affordable” in premium-SUV terms means relative to Rs 30-50 lakh and above; at ~₹20–25 lakh this would be very competitive.

    Fit to your requirements

    • Premium look: yes – new EV, modern design, Toyota branding.

    • Affordable price: yes – if the ₹20-25 lakh range holds.

    • Powerful performance: EVs tend to offer strong torque; AWD version expected.

    • Thus, this seems a very good match.

    ⚠️ Considerations & things to check

    • Launch timing: Although confirmed for 2025, exact date may vary and initial production may be limited. Autocar India+1

    • Final price & variant structure: The initial price estimate is based on media speculation; real on-road price may differ depending on taxes, localisation, battery cost.

    • Performance vs “powerful”: While EVs deliver instant torque, we don’t yet have full specs for the Indian version. If you want very high performance (e.g., very high horsepower) you’ll want to compare variant-by-variant.

    • After-sales/service, charging infrastructure: For EVs, you’ll want to check charger availability in your city (Lucknow/UP) and Toyota’s service support for the model.

    • Segment vs need: If you’re looking for a large 7-seater premium SUV with very high engine power (e.g., big diesel or petrol V6) then this model might be smaller in size; you may need to step up in budget.

    🔍 Other Toyota SUVs to Know

    • The existing Toyota Fortuner in India: The 2025 mild-hybrid version has been launched with diesel + 48V mild-hybrid tech. Pricing: approx ₹44.72 lakh (ex-showroom) for Neo Drive 48V variant. The Times of India+1

      • Premium look: yes.

      • Affordable: less so (₹40+ lakh is quite expensive).

      • Performance: strong.

    • A 7-seater version of the smaller SUV: The upcoming Toyota Hyryder 7‑Seater (stretched version of Hyryder) estimated price is ~₹21 lakh to ₹26 lakh according to some reports. Carversal+1

      • But it may not offer the same “premium” feel or high-power performance as larger SUVs.

    🎯 My Recommendation

    Given your criteria (“premium look”, “affordable price”, “powerful performance”), I would recommend waiting for the new Toyota electric SUV (based on the Toyota/Suzuki eVX-platform) slated for 2025.
    It seems the best fit across all three dimensions: modern premium looks + competitive pricing + EV performance.

    If you need the SUV sooner (i.e., within the next 3-6 months) and are willing to adjust your criteria (e.g., size or budget), then consider the 2025 Fortuner or Hyryder 7-Seater as alternatives, with trade-offs.

    If you like, I can check all upcoming Toyota SUVs in India for 2025/26, with full specs, expected pricing, and comparisons side-by‐side (so you can pick the best fit by budget/performance/size). Would you like me to do that?
