2025 Chevrolet Tahoe & Suburban First Look: Major Issue Resolved But Something’s Amiss

The dimensions of both the Suburban and the Tahoe remain quite large, as expected. The main exterior change is in the front end, especially the lighting. The daytime running lights have been expanded, featuring a more distinctive “dual C” design, with the main headlamps shifted slightly downwards.

At the back, the taillamp clusters are more striking and cohesive. The Premier and High Country trims feature welcome and walk-away lighting animations, as well as animated swipe patterns for the turn signals.

There will be six trims in total — LS, LT, RST, Z71, Premier, and High Country — with Chevy adding some unique details based on the trim. For example, the Z71 will have bright red (and functional) tow hooks in the lower fascia. For the first time, there will be a factory option for massive 24-inch wheels, while an AutoSense Power Liftgate will automatically open the trunk when the key fob is sensed behind the SUV.

Maruti Suzuki eVX Electric SUV Seen On Test Again In India

# Maruti Suzuki eVX Electric SUV Seen On Test Again In India

**Although the test mule was draped in heavy camouflage, it did give a hint of the EV’s dimensions while revealing a few of its features**

– Maruti Suzuki debuted the eVX as a concept at the Auto Expo 2023.
– The test mule had a 360-degree camera setup and the same alloy wheels as seen on the international-spec model.
– Its cabin features connected displays and a 2-spoke steering wheel.
– To be provided with a 60kWh battery pack having a claimed range of up to 550km.
– India launch expected by 2025; could be priced from Rs 25 lakh (ex-showroom).

The [Maruti Suzuki eVX](https://www.cardekho.com/maruti/evx) electric SUV recently broke cover in a more evolved concept form at the Japan Mobility Show. After its testing commenced on international shores in June 2023, the electric SUV’s trials in India have now begun. It’s slated to be the carmaker’s first all-electric vehicle for India upon its 2025 launch.

## **What Was Seen?**

In the spy shots, we can see the eVX’s test mule draped in heavy black camouflage and sporting makeshift taillights, while only giving a glimpse of its rear and side profiles. The new spy shots give an idea of its dimensions, which are likely to be in the whereabouts of those of the new [Maruti Grand Vitara](https://www.cardekho.com/carmodels/Maruti/Maruti_Grand_Vitara).

You can also spot the charging port on the left front fender of the SUV. The test mule was also seen with a 360-degree camera setup (hinted by the left ORVM-mounted camera) and the same set of alloy wheels as noticed on the model spied internationally. Although its fascia wasn’t seen in this set of images, we do believe it will have LED headlights and DRLs, featuring a triangular element, and chunky bumpers.

## **Interior And Features**

While the spy shots don’t show any details of the electric SUV’s interior, Suzuki had revealed its evolved version’s cabin at the Japan auto show. The major talking point is the combined displays, with one dedicated to infotainment and the other serving as the digital instrument cluster. In addition to these screens, the interior of the eVX showcases elongated vertical slats depicting traditional AC vents, a distinctive 2-spoke steering wheel resembling a yoke, and a central console housing a rotary dial, presumably for gear selection.

## **Details Of Its Electric Powertrain**

Although Suzuki hasn’t revealed specific information about the production version of the eVX’s electric powertrain, Maruti Suzuki mentioned at the Auto Expo 2023 that the EV would be equipped with a 60kWh battery pack. This battery is claimed to provide a range of up to 550km. Additionally, it was confirmed that the eVX will have a dual-motor setup, enabling all-wheel-drive functionality.

## **Expected Launch And Price**

We believe the Maruti Suzuki eVX will be launched in India sometime by 2025, with its prices likely to begin from Rs 25 lakh (ex-showroom). Its direct competitors will be the [MG ZS EV](https://www.cardekho.com/mg/zs-ev) and [Hyundai Kona Electric](https://www.cardekho.com/hyundai/kona), while it will also be a premium alternative to the new [Tata Nexon EV](https://www.cardekho.com/tata/nexon-ev) and [Mahindra XUV400](https://www.cardekho.com/mahindra/xuv400-ev).

The 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe RST Performance Edition: A Review on its Fast and Furious Look

The Chevrolet Tahoe comes with a larger-than-life presence, and to enhance its appearance, Chevrolet has added some sleek details. The black grille complements the LED headlamps and split-pin daytime running lights. For an additional $8,875, the RST Performance Edition package includes 20-inch high-gloss black wheels with 275/55R20SL blackwall Firestone Firehawk Pursuit all-season tires, which perfectly match the glossy exterior trim.

While the Tahoe features a power tailgate, it’s surprising that a 360-degree camera isn’t a standard feature across all trims of this SUV. This SUV comes with it, but other Tahoe trims do not. Similarly, Adaptive Cruise Control, which is a standard feature on a $24,100 Honda HR-V, is only included in the Chevy as part of the RST Performance Edition package. The outstanding hands-free Super Cruise system is not available at all.

However, the Tahoe does offer blind spot warnings, lane change alerts, rear cross-traffic alerts, and enhanced automatic emergency braking in addition to standard front pedestrian braking, lane-keep assist, forward collision alert, front and rear parking sensors, and a following distance indicator. When you accelerate, the indicator will flash rapidly as you approach the vehicle in front.

Toyota’s Mega Cruiser: Challenging the Hummer in Size and Capability

The Mega Cruiser, with its oversized dimensions and rear-wheel steering, holds its own against AM General’s SUV, the Hummer. Both vehicles share similar features, such as an engine mounted farther back in the chassis, portal axles for increased ground clearance, an onboard tire inflation/deflation system, and full-time all-wheel drive.

To achieve its impressive ground clearance, the Mega Cruiser elevates its drivetrain, resulting in a substantial transmission tunnel that divides the passengers. Unlike the Hummer, the Mega Cruiser’s transmission hump ends before the rear seat, allowing for a spacious four-across bench seat.

Beneath the Mega Cruiser’s expansive hood, we discover an interesting engine choice: a 4.1-liter four-cylinder turbocharged diesel. While the engine’s displacement is relatively large for a four-cylinder, it still falls short in terms of power for such a massive and heavy vehicle. With a horsepower rating of 153 and a torque rating of 282 pound-feet, it is understandably underpowered.

Just how underpowered is it? According to a test conducted by Road & Track, the Mega Cruiser took a whopping 20.6 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH. In a recent altitude test in the Colorado Rockies, a Mega Cruiser struggled to even reach 60 MPH, maxing out at 50 MPH with the throttle wide open.

On the bright side, the compact diesel engine managed to achieve a combined city/highway fuel economy of 13 MPG, which, considering the size and weight of the vehicle, is not terrible. However, it doesn’t quite reach the fuel efficiency levels of a Prius, as stated by Slashgear.
