Suzuki e Vitara

 

Suzuki Motor Corporation has unveiled its first mass-production battery electric vehicle (BEV) model, the e VITARA, in Milan, Italy. Production will commence at Suzuki Motor Gujarat in India in spring 2025,with sales expected to begin in various countries, including Europe,India, and Japan, around summer 2025.

The e VITARA is based on the concept model eVX,which was showcased at the Auto Expo held in India in January 2023, and at the JAPAN MOBILITY SHOW in October of the same year. It marks Suzuki's first global strategic BEV model.

With the concept of Emotional Versatile Cruiser,the e VITARA features a design that combines a sense of advanced technology and strength, a BEV powertrain that delivers a nimble and sharp driving experience, an electric 4WD system ALLGRIP-e that provides not only off-road capability but also powerful performance, and a newly developed platform HEARTECT-e specifically for BEVs.

1. A design that combines the advanced feel of a modern BEV and the strength of an SUV

The design theme is High-Tech & Adventure,embodying the advanced feel of a BEV and the robust nature of an SUV, inspiring a sense of adventure. The exterior features a striking design characterized by large-diameter tires and a long wheelbase, while the interior incorporates an integrated display with advanced equipment and tough-looking panels and center console, reflecting the High-Tech & Adventure theme.

2. BEV powertrain composed of the efficient eAxle and lithium iron-phosphate battery

The BEV powertrain consists of the highly efficient eAxle that integrates the motor and inverter, along with the lithium iron-phosphate batteries designed for safety and reliability. It achieves the characteristic nimble acceleration from a standstill and sharp acceleration during overtaking from low to high speeds.

3.Electric 4WD system ALLGRIP-e driven by two independent eAxles 

ALLGRIP-e is an electric 4WD system that utilizes Suzuki's expertise in four- wheel drive technology, featuring two independent eAxles at the front and rear. This system not only provides powerful performance but also allows for precise control with excellent responsiveness. Additionally, it includes a Trail mode that enables smooth escape from rough terrain by applying brakes to spinning tires and distributing drive torque to the opposite tire (LSD function).

4. Newly developed platform HEARTECT-e specifically for BEVs

The platform employs the newly developed  HEARTECT-e specifically for BEVs. It features a lightweight structure, high-voltage protection, and a spacious interior due to the short overhang. The main floor eliminates the under floor members to maximize battery capacity.

WLTP Figures shown are for comparison purposes and should only be compared to the fuel consumption and CO2 values of other cars tested to the same technical standard. The fuel consumption achieved and CO2 produced, in real world conditions will depend upon a number of factors including, but not limited to: the accessories fitted (pre or post registration); variations in weather; driving styles and vehicle load. The WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) is used to measure fuel consumption and CO2 figures. The CO2 figures display a range to reflect the highest value for the highest emitting version with all available options added, through to a minimum value to represent the lowest emitting version in standard specification.
