The Suzuki e Vitara is being assessed for the South African market.
Suzuki’s attempt to democratise electric vehicles is one step closer to the South African market, with the e Vitara having made its local debut at the Festival of Motoring at Kyalami, which kicked off on Thursday.
The Suzuki e Vitara is produced exclusively at Suzuki’s Gujarat assembly plant in India and is the first vehicle to be underpinned by the Heartect-e platform, which was developed specifically for battery electric vehicles.
Suzuki Auto South Africa has brought an example into the country to gauge interest in the product and, although no launch date has been announced, it is under consideration for our market. Suzuki SA’s brand marketing manager, Brendon Carpenter, said the company was currently conducting feasibility studies into the model and its potential positioning in the burgeoning EV market.
