- Suzuki introduces its fully electric e-Vitara in Brazil with a dual-motor AWD system and 61-kWh battery.
- The SUV combines advanced safety systems, connected infotainment, and fast-charging capability.
Suzuki has announced the introduction of the Suzuki e-Vitara electric SUV for the Brazilian market, marking a significant step in the company’s electrification strategy in South America. The model will initially be offered in a single 4Style 4×4 configuration and is expected to reach dealerships in Brazil within the coming weeks.
Dual-Motor Powertrain and ALLGRIPe AWD
The electric SUV features a dual-motor setup designed to deliver strong performance and traction. The front electric motor produces 174 hp and 19.6 kgf.m of torque, while a rear motor generates 65 hp and 11.6 kgf.m. Together, the system delivers a combined output of 184 hp and 31.2 kgf.m of torque.
Power distribution is managed through the ALLGRIPe all-wheel-drive system, which automatically adjusts torque between the front and rear axles to improve stability and traction under different driving conditions.
Battery Capacity and Charging Performance
The vehicle is equipped with a 61-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that provides an estimated driving range of 293 kilometers based on Brazil’s Inmetro certification cycle.
Charging Options
Charging flexibility is supported through both AC and DC solutions. A 7 kW AC Type 2 connection enables a full charge from 10% to 100% in approximately nine hours. For quicker charging, a 150 kW DC CCS2 fast charger can replenish the battery from 10% to 80% in roughly 45 minutes.
Interior Technology and Safety Systems
The cabin integrates a digital interface combining a 10.25-inch instrument cluster with a 10.1-inch multimedia touchscreen. The infotainment system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while voice command functionality enables hands-free control of several vehicle features.
Safety technology includes seven airbags, covering front, side, curtain, and a driver’s knee airbag. Additional driver-assistance systems include Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Prevention, and Blind Spot Monitoring. Stability control systems have also been optimized to suit electric vehicle dynamics.
The new model is scheduled to go on sale in Brazil soon, with final pricing details expected to be announced closer to the official market launch of the Suzuki e-Vitara electric SUV.
