Body is 6th gen Wagon-R (Japan). May be this was chosen because it has the largest interior space per KG of kerb weight.
Electric is a whole new ball game. Existing gasoline engine prowess is useless for this product.
Hyundai Kona, Tata Tigor EV is already launched. MG ZSEV, Nexon EV on the way. MS as always too little, too late.
Maruti Suzuki is a master of reducing weight which will be a strength in EV segment. Just insure you life with all the money saved on fuel bills.

If this was indeed on the way, I wonder why it wasn't displayed at the Auto Expo 2020? In fact, I expected the fleeet of EVs that led to the discussions beginning on this thread...
