Video: Is the $59k Suzuki e Vitara worth the money?

Is the new Suzuki e Vitara worth nearly $59,000? We get behind the wheel of Suzuki’s first dedicated battery electric vehicle – the flagship Suzuki e Vitara Ultra AWD – to see if it delivers enough range, performance, and practicality to compete in Australia’s booming electric SUV market.

Priced at $58,990 drive-away, the flagship Ultra features a 61 kWh battery, dual electric motors, AllGrip e-4WD, and a rugged, purpose-built EV platform.

But with a claimed WLTP range of under 400 km and tough competition from budget-friendly and mid-size rivals, can Suzuki justify this price point? In this review, we cover:

• Exterior design, dimensions, and dedicated EV architecture

• Battery capacity, charging speed, and real-world range expectations

• Dual-motor AllGrip AWD performance and driving dynamics

• Interior tech, practicality, and space

• Australian pricing, value proposition, and how it stacks up against rivals
