Maruti Suzuki unveiled its first electric car, the e-Vitara in Milan on Monday. It marks the company’s foray into the electric vehicle segment, and its production is expected to start at its Gujarat unit next year.
Sales are expected to begin in various countries, including Europe, India, and Japan, around summer 2025, Suzuki Motor Corporation said while unveiling its first mass-production battery electric vehicle (BEV).
The e-Vitara is based on the concept model ‘Evx,’ which was showcased at the Auto Expo in India in January 2023. It represents Suzuki's first global strategic BEV model.
The EV plan by Maruti will further boost a segment dominated by the likes of the Tata Curvv EV, the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV and Mahindra BE 05.
“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 realise a carbon neutral society, we will provide a variety of options, including BEVs, hybrid vehicles, and CNG vehicles, tailored to specific regions,” said Toshihiro Suzuki, Representative Director and President, Suzuki Motor Corporation.
