According to a report by CNN, Suzuki will begin selling the eVitara in Indonesia in early 2026. This will be the brand’s first electric vehicle (EV) to go on sale in the country, but before that happens, the electric SUV is being previewed at the ongoing Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS).
The eVitara was first revealed back in November last year and has a twin in the form of the Toyota Urban Cruiser. Built on the company’s HEARTECT-e platform it measures 4,275 mm long, 1,800 mm wide, 1,635 mm tall and has a wheelbase spanning 2,700 mm. The Suzuki SUV is offered with two battery capacities: 49 kWh and 61 kWh.
The smaller of the two is paired with a front electric motor rated at 144 PS (142 hp or 106 kW) and 189 Nm of torque. Meanwhile, the 61-kWh battery comes with a more powerful electric motor serving up 174 PS (172 hp or 128 kW) but with the same amount of torque.
The higher-capacity battery can also be had with all-wheel drive (marketed as ALLGRIP-e), which adds a 65 PS (64 hp or 48 kW) rear electric motor for a total system output of 184 PS (181 hp or 135 kW) and 300 Nm. Suzuki is claiming a range of up to 500 km with the 61-kWh battery, although it has yet to reveal official range figures.
The eVitara is a global model that will be produced at the company’s Gujarat plant in India, reports Autocar India, with 50% of production designated for export to European and other global markets. The EV will first go on sale in India, with pricing expected to be announced in September this year.
