Discounted Suzuki e-Vitara Offers Reduction of £3,750 Prior to UK Debut
The British automotive market is about to witness an exciting addition with Suzuki's upcoming e-Vitara EV. This electric SUV, set to arrive this autumn, comes with a range of impressive features designed to cater to the growing demand for electric vehicles.
Suzuki has introduced a discount scheme called "Suzuki Granted" for the e-Vitara EV, offering customers up to £3,750 off the new electric SUV. This discount applies to the entire e-Vitara range, including the entry-level 49kWh Motion model, which starts at £26,249.
The e-Vitara EV boasts a 61kWh battery, offering a WLTP range of up to 426-500 km depending on variant and market. It is powered by a 172 bhp (128 kW) permanent magnet synchronous motor, delivering 192.5 Nm of torque. The SUV supports fast charging, with a 10-80% charge taking approximately 35-45 minutes using a 70 kW charger.
The e-Vitara comes with twin motors for enhanced traction and control, as part of the ALLGRIP-e system. Suzuki has developed this system specifically for the e-Vitara, marking 55 years since the brand first introduced 4x4 technology to its range. The system is also eligible for the Government's new Electric Car Grant (ECG), offering up to £3,750.
In addition to the Suzuki Granted discount, Suzuki is offering a free Ohme home charger to customers who place orders before 31 December 2025. This offer includes installation of a compatible electric vehicle charger at home, facilitating convenient overnight charging.
Competitors in the EV compact SUV segment include the Kia Carens EV, Ford Bronco electric variant, and other rivals in India and global markets. The e-Vitara's relatively long range, quick charging, and safety tech package position it strongly among peers.
The e-Vitara EV offers modern safety features such as adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and blind-spot monitoring. Its dimensions, approximately 4275 mm in length, 1800 mm in width, 1640 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700 mm, are close to the existing Grand Vitara size but with a longer wheelbase. The SUV seats five comfortably.
In summary, the Suzuki e-Vitara EV is an exciting addition to the electric SUV market. Its competitive pricing, combined with ownership benefits like reduced maintenance, make it a strategic entry for Suzuki into this growing sector. Full technical details will be confirmed closer to the launch.
Technology advancements are expected in the automotive industry, as the e-Vitara EV from Suzuki incorporates modern features like adaptive cruise control and lane assist, while rivals in India and global markets, such as the Kia Carens EV and Ford Bronco electric variant, also focus on technology-driven components in their EV compact SUV offerings. The finance sector is also eagerly watching the market, as the e-Vitara EV's competitive pricing and the Government's Electric Car Grant (ECG) offer enticing opportunities for investment in the transportation domain, particularly in the transportation of people through SUV segments.
