Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Patented; Launch In Sept 2025 In India
The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara has been under development for a very long time. The all-electric SUV made its debut earlier this year at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in India and at EICMA 2024 in Milan, Italy. Later on, we found out that the launch had been rescheduled from the first half of 2025 to September of the same year.
Finally, the Indo-Japanese automaker has submitted a patent application for the future electric SUV in India. There is no discernible alteration to the SUV’s design as it appears in the patent. An important location for the e Vitara’s production will be India. Suzuki’s new electric car manufacturing plant in Gujarat will produce the SUV.
