Summary
The Suzuki e Vitara is a small electric crossover, and Suzuki’s first battery-powered model to launch in the UK.
Built on the same foundations as the similar Toyota Urban Cruiser, the five-door e Vitara is now in production at Suzuki’s factory in India, and has been given a lukewarm reception by the British motoring media so far, while review coverage is currently limited at the time of writing.
“The e Vitara is good to drive – it’s neat and tidy out on the road, with great feeling steering”, says Parker’s Jake Groves, adding that the SUV’s all-wheel drive (not standard) off-roading ability is rather unique in a very competitive electric SUV class.
The Carwow team adds that the e Vitara is well-equipped as standard, alongside the car’s competitive price tag, but that “alternatives are more practical and go further on a charge.”
While UK pricing has been confirmed for the Suzuki, the brand are yet to announced the full trim specifications for the model. We will continue to update this page as we get more information about the new e Vitara in coming weeks, so check back regularly for all the latest information.

“Our first taste of the new eVitara shows that Suzuki still knows how to make a resolutely normal car handle well and offer a bit of charm. Whether it will stack up when so many other cars of its size and expected price are so good remains to be seen.”

“The Suzuki e Vitara is an interesting prospect if you’re after a small-ish, useful-ish electric car with some modest off-road chops.”

“We found the Suzuki e Vitara an unexpectedly enjoyable electric car to drive – the steering feels satisfyingly weighty and precise, giving you confidence behind the wheel. It’s also refreshing to see a four-wheel drive option in this class, broadening its appeal for buyers in rural areas or colder climates.”

No eco rating
As of August 2025, the Suzuki e Vitara has not been assessed by Green NCAP.
The Green NCAP programme measures exhaust pollution (which is zero for an electric car) and energy efficiency. Electric cars are much more energy-efficient than combustion cars, so the e Vitara is likely to score very highly in Green NCAP testing if and when it takes place. Check back again soon.

Warranty rating
New car warranty information for the Suzuki e Vitara
| Overall rating | C | 56% |
| New car warranty duration | 3 years |
| New car warranty mileage | 60,000 miles |
| Battery warranty duration | 8 years |
| Battery warranty mileage | 100,000 miles |
Suzuki’s new car warranty is fairly average, offering around the same coverage as rival brands in a similar price bracket as the e Vitara.
The duration is three years, with a limit of 60,000 miles. In addition to the standard new car warranty, this electric SUV has an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery components.
If you’re looking to buy a used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.
