The Suzuki e Vitara (Japanese: スズキ・eビターラ, Hepburn: Suzuki Ebitāra) is a battery electric subcompact crossover SUV (C-segment) produced by Japanese manufacturer Suzuki. Introduced in November 2024, it is the first mass-produced battery electric vehicle ever produced by the company.[4] It is also marketed by Toyota with modified styling as the Toyota Urban Cruiser.
History and production
Suzuki introduced the e Vitara on 4 November 2024, in Milan, Italy. The vehicle was previewed by the Suzuki eVX concept, which was first showcased at the Auto Expo in India in January 2023. The Toyota version, the Toyota Urban Cruiser was introduced on 12 December 2024.[5] The styling of the Urban Cruiser was previewed by the Toyota Urban SUV Concept shown in December 2023 in Europe.[6]
The e Vitara is manufactured at Suzuki Motor Gujarat facility in Gujarat, India, with around 50 percent of its production output designated for export to European and other global markets.[4] The e Vitara was introduced in India in March 2025, with its arrival in Europe in September the same year.[7][8] The Urban Cruiser was introduced in Indonesia in November 2025,[9] followed by the e Vitara in February 2026.[10] The e Vitara was introduced in Japan in 16 January 2026.[11]
Specifications
The e Vitara is claimed to be developed on the Heartect-e electric vehicle "skateboard" platform, developed to provide increased structural integrity and a lowered centre of gravity. Two battery options are available: a 49 kWh battery pack delivering 106 kW (142 hp; 144 PS) and a 61 kWh battery pack producing 128 kW (172 hp; 174 PS). These battery packs utilize lithium iron phosphate (LFP) blade cells produced by BYD and Tata.[12][13] The top variant of the e Vitara is equipped with the AllGrip-e all-wheel-drive system, offering 135 kW (181 hp; 184 PS) and 300 N⋅m (30.6 kg⋅m; 221 lb⋅ft) of torque, with adaptable drive modes tailored for various driving conditions. The eAxle technology, created in collaboration with Toyota, is integrated into the platform.[14][15]
