The EWX was a small hatchback concept that was showcased at an auto show in Japan. The vehicle adopts a tall-upright design like that of an SUV. Since a considerable amount of time has elapsed from when the car was showcased and Suzuki has not mentioned anything about its launch, the launch plans might have been dropped. But if the brand seeks to launch a small EV with an SUV stance, the EWX might be launched in India soon.
