Suzuki NZ launches first-ever pure-electric SUV.
\nFirst current Suzuki models in $50k (2WD) and $60k (AWD) price brackets.
\nNew 8-year warranty introduced for all Suzukis from April.<\/p>\n

The new e Vitara<\/a> is Suzuki’s first-ever pure-electric SUV (jointly developed with Toyota). The Indian-built model is the tallest, longest-wheelbase Suzuki model ever produced (although it’s still only 100mm longer overall than the outgoing Vitara hybrid<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Suzuki
\nElectric AWD is called ‘Allgrip-e’, linking it to previous Suzuki 4×4 systems.<\/p>\n

It’s also now the most expensive thing sold by Suzuki NZ by far, starting at $56,990 for the 2WD model and rising to $64,990 for the “Allgrip-e” AWD.<\/p>\n

For a limited introductory period, Suzuki is offering a $2000 discount, bringing the starting price down to $54,990.<\/p>\n

There’s a $1000 premium for two-tone paint finish and an exclusive new colour for e Vitara (not shared with any other Suzuki) called Land Breeze Green Pearl Metallic.<\/p>\n

\"Suzuki
\nGreen’s not mandatory. Other colours are available, including two-tone finish.<\/p>\n

The price partly reflects the high specification for the vehicle. Shared across both 2WD and AWD models, it includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen, “floating” centre console, 7-speaker Infinity sound system with subwoofer, 12-colour ambient lighting, wi-fi and wireless Android Auto\/Apple CarPlay. The 10.25in digital instrument panel is customisable.<\/p>\n

Climate control air conditioning features the “added benefit” of physical switchgear, says Suzuki. Keyless entry and an electric parking brake with hold function are standard.<\/p>\n

\"Suzuki
\nNot the speediest charge setup: 65kW on a DC station.<\/p>\n

Unique to the AWD is a power distribution monitor in the instrument panel.<\/p>\n

Powering the e Vitara is a 61kWh LFP battery providing 426km range in the 2WD version and 395km for the AWD. The AWD is the quicker of the two, accelerating from a standstill to 100km\/h in 7.4 seconds, while the two-wheel-drive reaches the same speed in 8.7sec.<\/p>\n

The e Vitara offers a maximum on-board AC charging rate of 7kW, while DC fast-charging is adequate rather than speedy at 65kW.<\/p>\n

Suzuki NZ has also introduced an upgraded 8-year\/160,000km warranty on its new vehicles, including e Vitara, from April. Previously, it offered 3 years\/100,000km with a powertrain extension to 5 years if vehicles were serviced by an authorised Suzuki dealer. That’s still required for the upgraded warranty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Suzuki NZ launches first-ever pure-electric SUV.
