Maruti Suzuki e Vitara unveiled at the Auto Expo 2025

The first launch from Auto Expo 2025 is the highly anticipated Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. First unveiled at the Milan Auto Show in 2024, it is Suzuki’s first mass-market battery electric vehicle. The e Vitara offers two battery options—49kWh and 61kWh—and up to 172bhp of peak power output. It is underpinned by a skateboard platform called Heartect-e and here’s everything you need to know about it.

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara styling

Essentially a production version of the eVX concept, which was showcased at the 2023 Auto Expo, the e Vitara crossover deploys a contemporary design, without being too wild. It gets a muscular stance, a bold front-end and short overhangs.

Up front, it gets a pair of wraparound LED headlights with LED DRLs resembling a tuning fork, an aggressive bumper which also houses LED fog lights and a fairly upright bonnet with sharp lines. Oh and don't forget the ADAS sensor which has been neatly integrated into the front Suzuki logo. In profile, the crossover gets plastic cladding on the doors and wheel arches, wide haunches both at the front and back and floating C-pillar which looks really neat. The e Vitara's charging port is located on the front right fender. It rides on 18-inch aero-optimised alloy wheels. At the back, the e Viatara gets a connected LED tail light, a shark fin antenna and just like the front, a black bumper.

The car will be available in 10 colours including 4 dual-tone options.
