Interestingly enough, the Suzuki e Vitara enters Malaysia with a price tag of RM188,000 – slightly lower than its twin, the Toyota Urban Cruiser, which was just launched here in early April. Yes, the e Vitara is also fully-imported (CBU) from India just like its Toyota counterpart.

In terms of colourway, there are several choices available to customers, including single-tone options such as Celestial Blue Pearl Metallic and Bluish Black Pearl. For an additional RM1,000, you can also obtain the e Vitara with dual-tone colours featuring a combination of Land Breeze Green Pearl Metallic, Splendid Silver Pearl Metallic, or Grandeur Grey Pearl Metallic with Bluish Black Pearl.

The e Vitara is covered by a 5-year unlimited mileage vehicle warranty alongside a separate 5-year / 100,000km warranty for EV components and an 8-year / 160,000km warranty for its high-voltage battery. Naza Eastern Motors is also offering complimentary EV charging for 5 years at selected dealerships for the first 10 buyers of the e Vitara in Malaysia.

We were informed that only a handful of units are available at the moment. So, if you are curious enough to know more about the e Vitara, you may want to reach out to the nearest Suzuki Cars showroom and you can also take a closer look at the new EV over at the Suzuki Cars showroom in Petaling Jaya this weekend.
