Suzuki will soon launch the all-new Suzuki e-Vitara in January 2026. The brand has already begun planning a grand launch and has initiated the expansion of EV chargers across the country. Ahead of the vehicle’s launch, News 24 recently got a chance to drive Suzuki’s first-ever EV. Here’s what we think of it.

To demonstrate the practicality and usability of their infrastructure, Suzuki had earlier flagged off four cars to different corners of the nation. One car will drive to Kanyakumari, another to Bhuj, a third to Kaziranga, and the last one will head to Kashmir. “With such extreme drives, we will prove that the infrastructure needed for EV vehicles is ready,” he added.
