At its India debut during Auto Expo 2025, Maruti Suzuki had revealed only the most basic details of its maiden battery electric vehicle, the E Vitara, including its dimensions and battery sizes. Now, as we inch closer to its commercial launch, details of the electric SUV’s range, weight and performance statistics have surfaced. The E Vitara, which will be exported to global markets from India, will go into production in May, at Suzuki’s Gujarat plant. It is expected the E Vitara will also be launched in India in May, though the carmaker is yet to issue an official statement.

E-Vitara production will begin in May, at Suzuki's Gujarat plant.
The E Vitara will be offered with two lithium-ferro-phosphate (LFP) battery options – 49 kWh on the base model, and 61 kWh on top variants. On the WLTP cycle, the 49 kWh E Vitara has a combined range of up to 346 kilometres, while the 61 kWh E Vitara’s combined range stands at up to 428 kilometres. These figures are for the single-motor, two-wheel drive versions of the electric SUV. Overseas, Suzuki will also offer a dual-motor 61 kWh variant (WLTP range of up to 412 kilometres), but this will not be sold in India.
The 49 kWh E Vitara weighs 1,700 kg, while the 61 kWh model weighs from 1,760 to 1,799 kg, depending on the variant. The dual-motor variant adds another 100 kg to the kerb weight.
