e VITARA 49 kWh 2WD

The Suzuki e VITARA 49 kWh 2WD is a 5-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £24,999. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 9.6 seconds, slower than 88% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 168 miles (270 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 12% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 231st of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.5 mi/kWh (177 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 47.8 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 45 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 154 miles (248 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Its UK starting price works out at £149 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £14,200–£16,200, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 165 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
