Suzuki has confirmed pricing and details for its first fully electric SUV in Australia, with the new e Vitara set to arrive from July 2026.
The electric model marks a significant shift for the long-running Vitara nameplate, which has been part of Suzuki’s local line-up since the 1980s. Now reimagined as a battery-electric vehicle, the e Vitara aims to combine the practicality and capability of earlier versions with modern EV technology.
Pre-orders are now open, with introductory pricing starting from $46,990 drive-away for the front-wheel-drive Motion variant. This will rise to $49,990 once the initial allocation of vehicles is sold or after July 1, 2026. The all-wheel-drive Ultra version is priced from $56,990 drive-away during the pre-order phase, increasing to $58,990 thereafter.

| Variant | Pre-order Pricing | Post Pre-order Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| e VITARA Motion | $46,990 Drive Away | $49,990 Drive Away |
| e VITARA Ultra | $56,990 Drive Away | $58,990 Drive Away |
Two variants will be offered at launch. The entry-level Motion uses a 49kWh battery and front-wheel drive, delivering a claimed driving range of up to 344km. The Ultra steps up to a 61kWh battery and dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, with a range of up to 395km. The AWD system is designed to improve traction across varying conditions, with selectable driving modes including Normal, Eco and Sport, alongside additional terrain-focused settings.
Underpinning the e Vitara is a new HEARTECT-e platform, developed specifically for electric vehicles. Suzuki says the architecture is designed to maximise interior space while improving structural rigidity and safety performance.
Inside, both variants feature a digital instrument display and a central touchscreen with smartphone connectivity, along with ambient lighting and a floating centre console design. The Ultra adds features such as a panoramic glass roof, upgraded audio system, heated front seats and wireless charging.

Safety equipment includes a suite of driver assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking and lane-keeping support, contributing to a four-star ANCAP safety rating based on European testing.
The e Vitara is backed by a five-year service program and an eight-year, 160,000km warranty for the battery.
With deliveries expected from July, the model represents Suzuki’s first step into Australia’s growing EV market while retaining the familiar Vitara badge.
