2025 Suzuki e Vitara

Suzuki has announced prices for the forthcoming e Vitara – its first pure eletric car.

A small SUV that will compete with the likes of the Skoda Elroq, Kia EV3 and MINI Aceman, the Suzuki e Vitara is unrelated to the existing hybrid Vitara – it's bigger and heavier, and based on the Suzuki eVX Concept car revealed at the start of 2023. When it goes on sale in July it'll cost between £29,999 and £37,799, depending on the version. 

Two battery options will be available, one with a 49kWh capacity and another with 61kWh. Alhough Suzuki hasn't officially announced the ranges, the firm has said the larger battery should provide around 250 miles of driving before a recharge is needed. That puts it on a par with the Aceman but the EV3 promises up to 372 miles.

While most models will be front-wheel driven, a four-wheel-drive model badged as the Allgrip-e will also be available.

The e Vitara goes on sale in July. Prices start at £29,999, which is marginally cheaper than most rivals. That's for the 49kWh battery with two-wheel drive (2WD) in Motion trim. Upgrade to the 61kWh battery and it'll cost £32,999 for the Motion and £35,799 for the Ultra trim. 

If you want Suzuki's Allgrip-e four-wheel-drive (4WD) system, it costs from £34,999 for the Motion trim and £37,799 for the Ultra model. Both come with the 61kWh battery.

New 2025 Suzuki e Vitara: exterior and interior

At 4275mm long the Suzuki e Vitara is 100mm longer than the regular Vitara, and it's wider and taller too. The design very much follows that of an earlier Suzuki concept car, the eVX, with some sharp angles and prominent wheelarches clad in plastic. The e Vitara comes as standard with 18-inch alloy wheels and 19-inch units on higher-spec models.

Inside, the design is more contemporary than the existing Vitara, with a digital driver's display behind the steering wheel and a 10.1-inch central infotainment screen. There are numerous storage areas although the boot space, at 306 litres in capacity, is smaller than some rivals. The Jeep Avenger, for instances, will give you 355 litres, and the Kia EV3 promises 460 litres as well as 25 litres more under the bonnet.

That said, the e Vitara has a sliding rear bench that can move forward or backwards to prioritise legroom or luggage space. Shoving it forward expands the boot space to 320 litres.

New 2025 Suzuki e Vitara: batteries, motor and range

Two battery options will be available for the e Vitara. The first is a 61kWh unit, which is likely to have around 250 miles of range, while the more affordable 49kWh option will likely give you around 200 miles on a single charge. The larger battery has a more powerful motor with 174PS, while the smaller model has 144PS.

The 61kWh model is also available with four-wheel drive (4WD), courtesy of a second motor on the rear axle, which ups the total power to 184PS. This 4WD system is known as Allgrip-e and includes a trail mode that acts like a limited-slip differential, giving extra traction on rough terrain.

The e Vitara is larger than the regular Suzuki Vitara, which hopefully means more space inside
