Suzuki has revealed local specifications for the new e Vitara small SUV, its first electric vehicle sold in Australia, ahead of its arrival in June 2026. While pricing is yet to be released, we do know that it will be available in two models with up to 395km of driving range. Both front- and all-wheel drive drivetrains will be available too, with the all-wheel drive model fairly unique in the small electric SUV market.

Two drivetrains will be available in the Suzuki e Vitara in Australia: a smaller 49kWh battery with a 106kW/193Nm front-mounted motor and a 135kW/307Nm dual-motor all-wheel drive variant with a larger 61kWh battery. The FWD car is capable of 344km of range, and the AWD car, 395km.

The e Vitara is capable of DC fast charging from 10 to 80 per cent in a claimed 45 minutes, while it can charge at an AC maximum of 11kW for a claimed 10-100 per cent charge in as long as five hours and 30 minutes.

The e Vitara measures 4275mm long, 1800mm wide, 1635mm tall and rides on a 2700mm-long wheelbase, making it identical in length to a Mazda CX-3, though 20mm narrower, 100mm taller and using a 130mm longer wheelbase. 

Standard equipment on the entry-level e Vitara Motion includes 18-inch alloy wheels, single-zone automatic climate control, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, cloth upholstery and safety features such as seven airbags, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind-spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera.

The upper-spec e Vitara Ultra then adds all-wheel drive, synthetic leather and cloth upholstery, an Infinity sound system and heated front seats.
