e VITARA

Active cornering control engages before tyre slip occurs to counter understeer when accelerating in a corner and improves cornering performance by applying brakes only to the inside wheels in the corner.

True SUV performance fused with reliable EV technology.

Power, range and safety for greater pleasure and practicality The e VITARA introduces an all-new EV powertrain engineered to deliver confident SUV performance with the added peace of mind of zero emissions. Power is delivered through a highly efficient and compact eAxle electric motor drive unit mounted at the front wheels, providing smooth, responsive acceleration suited for everyday driving.

The eAxle is powered by a lithium iron-phosphate battery pack designed for stable and reliable performance. It features advanced thermal management and multiple built-in safety systems, including liquid cooling and battery voltage monitoring, to help protect against overheating and short circuits.

Charging is designed to be easy, quick, and convenient. Using rapid charging, the e VITARA can reach up to 80% battery capacity in as little as 45 minutes, making it practical for daily commutes and weekend trips alike.

The e VITARA provides three easily selected driving modes. ECO extends cruising range by regulating air conditioner power consumption and accelerator response. NORMAL provides optimal power delivery for ordinary driving. SPORT provides quicker response to accelerator pedal input for a more powerful driving experience.

Switches on the front console let you enable or disable SNOW mode and easy operation pedal mode. You can also operate easy operation pedal mode’s deceleration level settings from the integrated display system.

HEARTECT-e is a new platform developed exclusively for EVs. While inheriting the concept of the existing HEARTECT platform, it enables the installation of a large battery pack. Furthermore, the battery pack and suspension components are integrated into the framework structure, resulting in both lightness and high rigidity.

In addition, the large battery pack is mounted under the floor, creating a low center of gravity that enhances handling stability. Because the framework is specially designed for the EV power unit, the e VITARA achieves a minimum turning radius of 5.2 m, even with 18-inch tires.

MacPherson struts at the front enhance ride comfort, steering response, and NVH performance, while the multilink rear suspension delivers improved handling stability and overall ride comfort. High-rigidity components help maintain optimal tire contact with the road, and a longer compression stroke enhances rear seat comfort when driving over uneven surfaces.

Ventilated 18-inch disc brakes on all four wheels provide confident and reliable stopping performance.

When starting out on an uphill incline, hill hold control gives you time to comfortably move your foot from the brake to the accelerator by preventing the e VITARA from rolling backward for approximately two seconds.
