The e Vitara will start from £29,999 for the Motion 2WD model with a 49kWh battery.

A larger 61kWh capacity variant is also available across Motion and Ultra trim levels.

Customers will be able to choose between two-wheel drive and Suzuki’s new ALLGRIP-e four-wheel drive system, which features dual electric motors "for improved performance and control".
