Suzuki Reveals First All-Electric Model, the e Vitara

November 19, 2024

Suzuki has unveiled its first mass-production battery electric vehicle (BEV), the e Vitara in Milan Italy. Production will begin in spring 2025 at Suzuki Motor Gujarat, India, with global sales – including Europe, India and Japan – expected by summer 2025. The eVitara, based on the concept model eVX, which was showcased at the Auto Expo held in India in January 2023, and at the Japan Mobility Show in October of the same year, marks Suzuki’s first global strategic BEV.

Embodying the concept of an “Emotional Versatile Cruiser”, the e Vitara features a futuristic and robust design, a BEV powertrain that delivers a nimble and sharp driving experience, an ALLGRIP-e 4-wheel drive system for off-road and high-performance capabilities, and a newly developed HEARTECT-e platform tailored for BEVs.

Key Features

Design

The design theme merges the advanced appeal of a BEV with the ruggedness of an SUV. Its exterior showcases bold large-diameter tires and a long wheelbase, while the interior features an integrated display, advanced equipment, and durable panels, all emphasizing the adventurous, high-tech aesthetic.

BEV Powertrain

An efficient eAxle with integrated motor and inverter, paired with reliable lithium iron-phosphate batteries, delivers nimble acceleration from standstill and sharp performance during overtaking. Two battery options provide flexibility: a 49kWh battery with 145bhp for the entry model, and a 61kWh battery for extended range, offering either 175bhp or 240bhp when paired with ALLGRIP-e.

ALLGRIP-e

The ALLGRIP-e electric four-wheel drive system, utilising Suzuki’s 4WD expertise, uses independent front and rear eAxles for powerful performance and precise, responsive control. It includes a Trail mode with an LSD function for smooth recovery on rough terrain by braking spinning tires and redistributing torque.

HEARTECT-e

The HEARTECT-e platform, designed for BEVs, offers a lightweight structure, high-voltage protection, and a spacious interior enabled by short overhangs. Its underfloor design maximizes battery capacity by removing traditional underfloor members.

Remarks by President Suzuki:

“The e Vitara is our first BEV, developed through repeated trial and error to create an easy-to-use BEV for our customers. In order to realize a carbon-neutral society, we will provide a variety of options, including BEVs, hybrid vehicles, and CNG vehicles, tailored to specific regions. Introduction of the e Vitara represents a significant milestone in achieving carbon neutrality. Following the launch of the e Vitara, we will continue to expand our BEV line-up and propose mobility solutions tailored to the needs of specific countries and regions.”

2025 Vitara Hybrid: Facelift, Upgraded Tech and Efficiency Drive Appeal

November 8, 2024

The Vitara hybrid remains a popular model in the range and Suzuki is very pleased to announce some significant revisions for 2025 with redefined SUV styling, an even higher level of standard equipment and technology as well as further improved hybrid efficiency.

Refined SUV Styling

One of the most noticeable updates for the 2025 Vitara is its refreshed exterior design. The front of the car gets a completely reworked grille and bumper, giving it a more modern, dynamic look. The rear also benefits from a new upper spoiler and rear window side spoilers, adding a touch of sportiness. In addition, the Vitara now rides on newly designed 17-inch alloy wheels, further elevating its presence on the road. Two new metallic colour options are available: Sphere Blue Pearl dual-tone and Titan Dark Grey single-tone, offering customers more ways to personalise their vehicles.

Enhanced Safety Features

Safety continues to be a priority for Suzuki, and the 2025 Vitara reflects this with a higher level of technology and features as standard. Both the Motion and Ultra grades now come equipped with advanced driver-assist technologies:

  • Lane Keep Assist
  • Intelligent Speed Control
  • Driver Monitoring System
  • eCall for emergency assistance

One of the most significant upgrades is to the Dual Sensor Brake Support, which has been enhanced to use a combination of millimetre-wave radar and a monocular camera. This new system improves collision mitigation, offering better night-time performance, enhanced visibility at intersections, and more accurate detection of pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and other vehicles.

Standard Tech Upgrades

Inside, the 2025 Vitara offers a more connected and comfortable experience with an upgraded suite of standard features. Both Motion and Ultra grades now include a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, along with wireless smartphone integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto along with:

  • Keyless entry and start
  • High Beam Assist
  • Auto-dimming rear-view mirror
  • Rear parking sensors
  • Suzuki Connect with a three-year free subscription

Ultra Grade: Even More Features

For those who want a little more luxury and convenience, the Ultra grade steps up the specification even further to include:

  • New 17-inch polished alloy wheels
  • Panoramic sliding sunroof
  • Premium suede and leather seats
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Electric folding door mirrors with built-in indicators
  • Overhead storage console for extra convenience

Improved Hybrid Efficiency

Suzuki has also focused on making the Vitara even more efficient for 2025, with improved fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions. For the manual transmission models with 2-wheel drive (2WD), the 1.4-litre mild-hybrid engine offers a 9% improvement in fuel consumption, now achieving an impressive 53.2 mpg (WLTP combined). Full hybrid models with 2WD and AGS (Automated Gear Shift) transmission see a 6% improvement, reaching 56.4 mpg. The CO2 emissions have also been reduced, with the 1.5-litre full hybrid Motion model now emitting just 113g/km, down from 119g/km in the previous model.

Powertrain Options: Mild Hybrid & Full Hybrid

As before, the 2025 Vitara continues to offer hybrid power as standard, with a choice of two powertrains:

  • 1.4-litre Boosterjet turbocharged petrol engine with 48V mild hybrid for those who prefer a manual transmission, or:
  • 1.5-litre full hybrid version with AGS transmission, offering the convenience of automatic transmission.

Both versions can be paired with either 2WD or 4WD, offering flexibility to meet different driving needs and makes the Vitara one of the few compact SUVs to offer both manual and automatic hybrid drivetrain options, with the choice of four-wheel drive as well.

With the 2025 updates, the Vitara continues to deliver a blend of modern style, advanced safety features, and eco-friendly hybrid technology. Whether you’re looking for a practical daily driver, a family-friendly SUV, or a vehicle with cutting-edge tech and improved efficiency, the new Vitara checks all the boxes. The introduction of the Motion and Ultra grades further enhances its appeal, offering more customisation options and added luxury. With better fuel economy, lower emissions, and an even higher level of standard equipment, the 2025 Vitara looks set to remain a strong contender in the competitive small SUV market.

Suzuki launches full hybrid version of popular Vitara

March 12, 2022

The Suzuki Vitara is now available with full hybrid technology that helps lower CO2 emissions and improves fuel consumption even further than the current mild hybrid with automatic transmission.

Full hybrid technology

The system consists of a 140V lithium-ion battery and inverter, Motor Generator Unit (MGU), a 12V lithium-ion battery and a conventional 12V lead-acid battery to power components requiring lower voltage such as lights, instruments, heating and air-conditioning.

Selectable hybrid modes

The new hybrid system has two switchable modes – Eco and Standard – which enables the driver to change between the two modes depending on conditions and increases the frequency of EV driving.

MGU

The MGU acts as a generator and starter motor and assists the petrol engine during vehicle take off. The high-performance lithium-ion battery stores electrical energy recovered from deceleration and braking and incorporates an idle stop function operated via the integrated starter generator. Based on engine speed and throttle position, the engine ECU judges when the driver will accelerate then uses the electric motor to add additional torque.

The hybrid system collects kinetic energy and generates electricity by stopping the engine and disengaging the clutch during deceleration, which increases the EV driving range. As a full hybrid, the Vitara can run solely on its electric motor for short distances.

Transmission

The Vitara full hybrid comes equipped with Auto Gear Shift (AGS) that automatically shifts the manual transmission and gear ratios to help provide a good combination of performance and fuel economy. AGS enables the driver to enjoy both the direct driving experience of a manual gearbox and the shifting ease of an automatic transmission. The transmission also has a manual mode with steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles.

One notable feature of the latest hybrid system with AGS is the position of the MGU on the output side of the transmission assembly. As a result, power from the MGU is directly transmitted to the driveshafts to fill the torque gap during shifting and provides a smoother transition from the transmission.

CO2 emissions

Thanks to full hybrid technology, high tensile steel and other weight-saving measures in the body, Vitara’s CO2 emissions are low (121g/km) with an impressive combined fuel economy of 53mpg.

ALLGRIP 4-wheel drive

Suzuki’s ALLGRIP 4-wheel drive system is available as an option on the SZ5 model and incorporates four selectable drive modes – Auto, Sport, Snow and Lock – for safe, enjoyable driving on diverse surfaces.

Specification highlights

Standard equipment is comprehensive with the entry-level SZ-T model featuring: auto air conditioning, front and rear electric windows, keyless entry and start, 17″ silver alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, rear parking camera and satellite navigation. Moving up to the top-spec SZ5 adds 17″ polished alloy wheels, suede seat upholstery, panoramic sunroof, front and rear parking sensors and the availability of ALLGRIP 4WD as an option.

A high level of safety specification comes as standard including, LED multi-reflector headlamps with low and high beam, dual sensor brake support (automated emergency braking), blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control and seven airbags.
