India’s electric mobility journey took a bold leap forward with the launch of Maruti Suzuki’s e-Vitara, the company’s first all-electric SUV. Unveiled at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, this vehicle is not just another EV—it represents India’s growing role as a global manufacturing hub and its ambition to lead in sustainable transportation.
Features That Set e-Vitara Apart
The e-Vitara is built on Suzuki’s next-generation Heartect-e skateboard platform, developed with Toyota and Daihatsu. This design offers a lightweight yet rigid frame for better stability and performance.
Buyers will have a choice between two LFP (Lithium-Iron-Phosphate) blade battery packs—a 49 kWh unit delivering around 142 hp and 192 Nm torque, and a larger 61 kWh pack producing up to 174 hp. For those seeking more punch, the dual-motor AWD version offers 184 hp with 300 Nm torque.
Inside, the SUV balances luxury with technology. Key highlights include a dual floating display setup, ventilated seating, wireless charging, panoramic sunroof, and advanced safety with 7 airbags, stability control, blind-spot detection, and Level-2 ADAS. The digital cockpit features a 10.25-inch instrument cluster paired with a 10-inch infotainment system for a modern driving experience.
Export Ambitions: Made in India, For the World
The e-Vitara will roll out of Maruti Suzuki’s Hansalpur plant in Gujarat, a facility designed to serve both domestic and international demand. What makes this launch significant is that half of the SUV’s production is intended for exports to markets like Europe and Japan.
In fact, the company has announced plans to send the e-Vitara to over 100 countries, solidifying India’s place in the global EV supply chain. This not only boosts Maruti Suzuki’s international presence but also strengthens India’s reputation as a center for advanced automobile manufacturing.
PM Modi’s Words: A Vision for Green Mobility
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who attended the launch, described the e-Vitara as a milestone in India’s green mobility mission. He praised Maruti Suzuki for aligning with the Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiatives, highlighting how India is no longer just an auto market but a world-class production hub for next-gen vehicles.
According to the Prime Minister, the launch of the e-Vitara and Suzuki’s new EV production line reflects the country’s determination to transition toward cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable transportation solutions.
The Road Ahead
The e-Vitara is more than a product launch—it’s a statement of intent. With competitive features, global export plans, and strong government support, Maruti Suzuki’s electric SUV signals the dawn of a new era in Indian mobility. For customers, it promises an eco-friendly yet powerful drive; for India, it reinforces the nation’s journey toward becoming a leader in global EV innovation.
