The e Vitara sits on a new ‘Heratect-e’ Platform and comes with a trio of powertrain options, with the entry-level model getting a 49kWh battery and a 142bhp electric motor driving the front wheels, with the mid-range option getting a bigger 61kWh battery and a 172bhp motor.

Top of the tree is a dual motor e Vitara getting a 61kWh battery, AWD and 181bhp bringing with it Allgrip-e,  which manages the two motors independently for offroad use and also comes with Trail Mode for off-road use.

It looks like the new Suzuki e Vitart will arrive in the UK next summer with prices likely to start in the mid £30ks. We’ll also soon see a new Toyota ‘bZ’ model based on the e Vitara but suitably Toyota-fied and based on the Toyota Urban SUV Concept.
