The e-Vitara made its global debut late last year in Europe offering a choice of electric powertrains including two battery pack options and all-wheel drive.

The e-Vitara sits on an EV adaptation of Suzuki’s Heartect platform with the SUV being offered with two battery packs and the option of all-wheel drive. Lower variants get a 49 kWh battery paired with an electric motor on the front axle while higher variants make use of a larger 61 kWh battery and get the option of a second electric motor on the rear axle giving the SUV all-wheel drive capabilities. The system is called AllGrip-e and features a unique Trail mode for off-road applications. It however remains to be seen if the all-wheel drive variant will be offered in India.
The e-Vitara will go up against the likes of the recently unveiled Hyundai Creta Electric which will be launched at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025.
