Suzuki e-Vitara is a milestone for Maruti Suzuki (its Indian counterpart) as its first born-electric SUV. It was recently launched at the Bharat Mobility Show 2025 and is looking to enter the crowded market of electric SUVs. Let’s explore its features, price, and other important facts.

Expected Launch Date: Although earlier reports had mentioned a launch in March or May 2025, the latest information points towards a possible launch around June 18th, 2025. Watch out for official news from Maruti Suzuki.

Expected Price: The Suzuki e-Vitara is expected to be priced between ₹ 17 Lakh and ₹ 22.50 Lakh (ex-showroom, India) across the different variants. The higher-end models with additional features and a bigger battery pack will probably fetch a premium price.

Variants: According to available details, the e-Vitara will likely be available in three main variants:

• Delta: Expected to be the base model with the smaller battery pack.
• Zeta: A middle variant with the bigger battery pack.
• Alpha: The high-end variant, with the bigger battery pack and possibly all-wheel drive.

Battery and Range: The e-Vitara will feature two battery pack sizes:

• 49 kWh: The battery will provide about 500 km of range on a single charge (ARAI claimed). It will come paired with a 142 bhp electric motor with 192.5 Nm of torque, propelling the front wheels (FWD).
• 61 kWh: This bigger battery pack should also have a similar claimed range of 500 km. It will come with a more powerful 172 bhp electric motor (192.5 Nm torque, FWD) and possibly a dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant delivering 182 bhp and 300 Nm of torque in overseas markets (the first India launch could be FWD only).
• Battery type will likely be Lithium Phosphate Ferrous (LFP), which is safe and thermally stable. The vehicle will have DC fast charging (CCS-II port) capability, possibly charging from 20% to 80% in about 20 minutes using a 140 kW charger. AC charging capability will also exist.

Performance: The 61 kWh, FWD variant should have a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of less than 10 seconds. The AWD version, if launched, should be faster.
