Maruti Suzuki is set to launch the much-anticipated eVitara electric SUV in India by September 2025. In addition, the company plans to introduce a brand-new SUV before the year ends. This new vehicle is expected to be a 7-seater version of the Grand Vitara, which has been spotted testing on Indian roads multiple times. The Suzuki eVitara will compete directly with the Hyundai Creta Electric in the market.
Maruti Suzuki aims to produce around 70,000 units of the eVitara electric SUV, with the majority being exported to countries like Europe and Japan. The company has also confirmed that its electric vehicles will be sold through its NEXA retail network, without plans to open separate dealerships for EVs.
