EXTERIOR
Design concept
All aspects of the bold styling were based on a concept image of a cool “metal beast” created to set the motif for the e VITARA and reflect its high-tech nature as an advanced EV, along with the power and 4x4 SUV performance capabilities that make it ready for any adventure. The body’s unique silhouette plays on the long wheelbase and large-diameter tyres at each corner to create an aggressive, crouching stance and highlight the long, spacious cabin.
To express the e VITARA’s character as an SUV, the bonnet rises in a solid mass toward the upright windscreen, while the fenders and shoulders are dramatically flared to convey a sense of muscular power. The body’s polygonal structure and sculptured form gives the e VITARA a powerful, cutting-edge look that dynamically reflects its identity as both an EV and SUV.
Iconic 3-point lamp matrix
The front and rear lamps form a signature 3-point matrix made up of three luminous elements, with the unique shape of each element connecting to create an evocative high-tech look.
The 3-point matrix features high-resolution detailing that is designed to excite an emotional response in the viewer. The left and right lamps are joined by a single horizontal through-line across the front and rear that naturally leads your eye to the Suzuki badge in the centre.
Alloy wheels
The e VITARA is equipped with large-diameter* alloy wheels that adopt a new wide-spoke design and all-new resin garnish.
Featuring low weight and enhanced aerodynamic performance, the large wheels add a sense of power and beauty to the vehicle’s appearance.
* 19-inch, fully garnished cast alloy wheels for GLX grade, and 18-inch fully garnished machined alloy wheels for GL grade.

INTERIOR
High-tech flair and adventurous appeal
The interior features a design that, in keeping with the motif for the exterior design, reflects both the high-tech nature of the e VITARA as an EV and its go-anywhere adventuring capability as an SUV. High-tech appeal is conveyed by appointments such as the integrated display system, floating centre console, ambient lighting and unique steering wheel shape. The spirit of adventure and true 4x4 SUV capability are expressed through the design of the instrument panel’s cross-sectional middle pad, commanding high console and four louvered air conditioner vents, as well as the body-hugging front seats.
Floating centre console
The unique floating centre console and shift-by-wire driving mode dial that sits atop it not only speak of high-tech design, but also provide ready access to controls such as the SNOW mode (2WD), AUTO mode (4WD), TRAIL mode (4WD), pedal mode, hill descent control and electric parking brake switches.
Ambient lighting
The e VITARA introduces ambient lighting as a new feature that indirectly illuminates the 3D textured pattern of the console middle tray and front door trims. You can choose freely among 12 different lighting colours and 7 levels of dimming to match your mood or needs at any given time.

Steering wheel
The steering wheel adopts a new two-spoke, squircle-shaped design that harmonises well with the instrument panel’s horizontal layout.
Features include a slightly flattened top section that provides you with a clear view of both the meter display and the road ahead, as well as a slightly flattened bottom section that makes it easier to get in and out of the driver’s seat.
Electric parking brake
The electric parking brake can be set or released via a fingertip switch on the floating centre console, eliminating worries about insufficient engagement when parking, and about driving off with the brake partially engaged afterward.
Brake hold
Brake hold prevents unintended forward movement when stopped at a traffic light or in busy traffic. Once you activate the function by simply pressing the HOLD switch on the floating centre console, the e VITARA will remain stopped even if you remove your foot from the brake pedal.

Adventure is right in front of you
Large, easy-to-read displays and intuitive controls bring extra excitement and convenience to every adventure. All the information you need at a glance. All the functionality you want at your fingertips. And all this complemented by an Infinity sound system that fills the cabin with a clear, premium-quality sound that resonates with the dynamic spirit of your journey.
Integrated display system
The e VITARA introduces a new integrated display system that combines the meter and infotainment system displays into a single unit. Controls for display customisation, air conditioning and other functions are also incorporated into the integrated display to allow intuitive operation.
Meter display
This 10.25-inch display lets you choose between three customisable layouts to best suit your preferences. In addition, it features a fixed area for displaying the meters, driving information and warnings, and two switchable areas for displaying content from the centre display. The switchable content can be changed by pressing the steering wheel’s INFO button.
Centre display
The 10.1-inch colour LCD centre display supports smartphone connectivity via USB and WiFi®. Tabs on the left and right sides of this customisable screen allow quick, intuitive access to a wide variety of controls, including GPS navigation, air-conditioning controls, EV and charging settings, tyre pressure monitoring and driver assist functions.
360 view camera
Cameras mounted at the front and rear, as well as on both door mirrors make parking easier by providing a clear view of obstacles ahead or behind you. The system can also combine images from all four cameras to display an omnidirectional view of your immediate surroundings.

PERFORMANCE
Power, range and safety for greater pleasure and practicality
The e VITARA introduces an all-new EV powertrain designed to provide optimum SUV driving performance along with the peace of mind that comes with knowing it produces zero emissions. The wheels are driven by eAxle, a line-up of highly efficient electric motor drive units that are compact yet powerful. The 2WD e VITARA employs a single eAxle drive unit in the front, while the 4WD version adds a second unit to power the rear wheels. eAxle is powered by a lithium iron-phosphate battery pack. Designed to ensure stable and reliable performance, the battery pack features advanced thermal management and a variety of built-in safeguards against overheating and short circuits, such as liquid cooling, individual battery cells each contained in separate chamber, and battery voltage monitoring. Charging is designed to be as easy, quick and convenient as possible and, when using SUZUKI CONNECT, you can even access related notifications, settings and status updates on your smartphone.
Driving modes
The e VITARA provides three easily selected driving modes. ECO extends cruising range by regulating air conditioner power consumption and accelerator response. NORMAL provides optimal power delivery for ordinary driving. SPORT provides quicker response to accelerator pedal input for a more powerful driving experience. Related mode functions can be operated using switches on the front console or through the display audio. This includes switches for enabling or disabling SNOW mode on 2WD models, and AUTO or TRAIL mode on 4WD models.

HEARTECT-e platform
HEARTECT-e is a new platform developed exclusively for EVs. While inheriting the concept of the existing HEARTECT platform, it enables the installation of a large battery pack. Furthermore, the battery pack is utilised as part of the framework structure, resulting in lightness and high rigidity. In addition, the large battery pack is mounted under the floor, resulting in a vehicle with a low centre of gravity that demonstrates excellent handling stability. And, because the framework is specially designed for the EV power unit, the e VITARA achieves a minimum turning radius of 5.2m, even while adopting 19-inch tyres*.

Suspension and brakes
MacPherson struts up front enhance ride comfort, steering response and NVH performance, while the multi-link rear suspension provides handling stability and ride comfort. High-rigidity components help ensure enhanced tyre contact, and a longer compression stroke improves rear seat ride comfort when traversing uneven terrain. 18-inch ventilated disc brakes on all four wheels help realise sure stopping performance.
Behind the vision: A Conversation with the engineers
NVH performance
Not only is the conspicuous lack of engine noise immediately noticeable, but efforts to minimise all other sources of noise that might otherwise be heard in the cabin make driving all the more pleasurable. Measures include integrating the battery box into the underfloor as a rigid structural member to suppress road noise, employing sound-insulating baffles and insulated glass to cut wind noise, and insulating eAxle noise and vibration to minimise unpleasant high-frequency noise.

ALLGRIP-e
The e VITARA inherits Suzuki’s own ALLGRIP 4WD technology and adapts it for EV use. ALLGRIP-e is an electronically controlled dual-motor four-wheel-drive system that helps you explore the great outdoors more freely and pursue your passion for adventure to the fullest. With its dual motors producing more than 1.5 times the maximum torque of the 2WD configuration, ALLGRIP-e heightens your enjoyment of truly dynamic driving. In addition, ALLGRIP-e leverages its independent control over the front and rear eAxle motor drive units to instil you with confidence and let you take charge when driving on challenging road surfaces or in inclement weather. Whether you want to tackle winding roads or rough terrain, and whether you find yourself in a downpour or snowy conditions, ALLGRIP-e’s AUTO and TRAIL modes enhance driving performance and stability for greater driving pleasure and peace of mind.
4WD modes
ALLGRIP-e’s 4WD modes leverage the quick response of electric motors to assist acceleration by precisely controlling torque distribution to the front and rear wheels. On slippery road surfaces, acceleration is assisted by automatically optimising torque delivery to compensate for wheel slippage detected at the front or rear.
AUTO
AUTO mode provides excellent manoeuvrability and stability on rough roads by automatically controlling front and rear wheel torque delivery in accordance with the road conditions of any given moment.
TRAIL
If a wheel slips while driving in TRAIL mode, braking force is applied to that wheel and the brake limited slip differential (brake LSD) distributes greater torque to the opposite wheel than when in AUTO mode. This helps facilitate smoother exits from slippery patches on the road where you might otherwise find yourself stuck.
Behind the vision: A Conversation with the engineers
Hill hold control
When starting out on an uphill incline, hill hold control gives you time to comfortably move your foot from the brake to the accelerator by preventing the e VITARA from rolling backward for approximately two seconds.
Hill descent control
Hill descent control automatically applies the brakes as needed to maintain a fixed speed and enable you to focus on steering and obstacle avoidance when driving down steep slopes.
Active cornering control
Active cornering control engages before tyre slip occurs to counter understeer when accelerating in a corner and improves cornering performance by applying brakes only to the inside wheels in the corner.
SAFETY
Note: Safety technologies are not a substitute for safe driving; their effectiveness is limited, and in some situations they may not function as expected. Please refer to the Major Specifications for details of a vailability.
Dual Sensor Brake Support II (DSBS II)
The system employs millimetre-wave radar sensors and a monocular camera to detect vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles* and pedestrian ahead of the e VITARA. Audio and visual warnings are issued to alert you if the possibility of a collision arises. If you respond with insufficient brake force, brake assist automatically engages to help slow the vehicle. And if the probability of a collision increases, brake force is applied automatically to help reduce impact force and mitigate damage.
*Daytime only
Multiple collision braking
When the brake system receives a signal from the airbag that a collision has occurred, it automatically activates the brakes and brake lamps to alert nearby vehicles and help prevent a secondary collision.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
When you have adaptive cruise control activated, LKA helps you keep the e VITARA in the centre of the lane in which you are travelling. And if it senses that you are drawing too close to an adjacent vehicle or other obstacle, LKA provides steering assistance to help maintain a safe distance.
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP)
LDP detects the lane demarcation lines and predicts your path of travel as you drive. If you begin to drift due to inattention, the system alerts you by vibrating the steering wheel or sounding an audio alert. And if you fail to respond and correct, it provides steering assistance to help return your e VITARA to the centre of the lane.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
ACC helps reduce driver fatigue on long trips and when driving in traffic. The system uses millimetre-wave radar and a monocular camera to measure the distance to the vehicle ahead, accelerating or decelerating as needed to maintain the distance you have set. (You can choose from four distance settings.) If the road ahead is clear, it will maintain the speed at which you were traveling when you engaged the system. ACC can be linked to the traffic sign recognition system through the driver customisation setting. ACC set speed will be adjusted based on the posted speed limit.
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
TSR detects traffic signs, including speed limit signs, and alerts you by displaying them as icons on the meter display. The speed limit icon flashes if you are exceeding the speed limit posted on a detected sign, and an audio warning also sounds if you don’t slow down.
Speed limiter
With just the press of a button, you can choose either to use a speed limit you set to your liking, or the speed limit detected by the traffic sign recognition system.
Adaptive High Beam System (AHS)
AHS uses millimetre-wave radar and the monocular camera to detect the brightness of the surrounding area and the lights of other vehicles, and adjusts the brightness and illumination range of the headlamps as needed. It also adjusts high beam brightness and illumination angle according to vehicle speed, and switches to low beam in well-lit areas.
GLX only
High beam assist
When driving with the high beams on, the headlamps automatically switch to low beam when you experience oncoming traffic or vehicles driving ahead, or if you are travelling in a well-lit area. The headlamps automatically return to the high beams when the road ahead is clear and the surrounding area is poorly lit. (Active only at speeds above 40 km/h when the light switch is set to Auto.)
GL only
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)
BSM uses millimetre-wave radar sensors in the rear bumper to detect vehicles located in or approaching either rear blind spot. When a vehicle is detected, a warning icon appears in the corresponding door mirror. If you activate the turn signal on that side, the icon flashes and an audio warning sounds.
Rear Crossing Traffic Alert (RCTA)
RCTA is a supplementary safety feature that uses blind spot monitor to detect and warn of vehicles approaching from the left or right when backing out of a parking space or other location.
Driver Monitoring System (DMS)
A camera mounted on the steering column cover monitors your eyes and face while driving. If the system detects you to be drowsy, falling asleep, or looking away from the road, it sounds a warning alarm and displays an alert message on the meter display.
Drowsiness alert
The system monitors eyelid movement and yawn frequency to detect drowsiness when driving. If it does while you are driving at a speed of approximately 65 km/h or more, it warns you to take a break by sounding an alarm and displaying an alert message on the meter display.
Dozing alert
If you start dozing off and your eyes remain closed for more than a specified period while driving at a speed of approximately 65 km/h or more, the system warns you to take a break by sounding an alarm and displaying an alert message on the meter display.
Distracted driving alert
If you look to the side for more than a specified period while driving at a speed of approximately 20 km/h or more, the system warns you by sounding an alarm and displaying an alert message on the meter display.
eCall
In the event of a serious collision, the eCall system automatically contacts emergency services and sends an automated message with the vehicle’s current location and other relevant information. The system is activated automatically by in-vehicle sensors after a crash, but can also be manually activated to contact emergency services by pushing the SOS button located on the overhead console, between the sun visors.
