    India Made Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara Scores 4-Star Safety Rating In Euro NCAP

    by

    Maruti eVitara at EURO NCAPA 4-star safety rating in Euro NCAP signifies good overall crash protection, but some areas may need improvement
    Maruti has started shipping made-in-India e-Vitara to global locations such as Europe. Toyota will also be shipping the rebadged version soon, which will go on sale in Europe as the all-electric Urban Cruiser.
    While e-Vitara is already available for sale in the UK, the all-electric Urban Cruiser is expected to go on sale in the coming weeks. Ahead of that, the e-Vitara / all-electric Urban Cruiser has been crash tested by Euro NCAP. Let’s check out the ratings and scores.
    Suzuki e-Vitara / All-electric Urban Cruiser – Euro NCAP Adult Occupant safety
    In its tests, Euro NCAP has used the Suzuki e-VITARA 61kWh GLX, LHD variant. The results and scores are valid for all Suzuki e-Vitara variants and all Toyota Urban Cruiser electric variants. Safety features on the tested model include front airbags, driver knee airbag, side head, chest and pelvis airbags and airbag cut-off switch (passenger).

    Also present are belt pretensioner, belt loadlimiter and seatbelt reminder. Other safety systems include AEB vulnerable road users, AEB motorcyclist, AEB car-to-car, speed assistance, lane assist system and fatigue / distraction detection. In Adult Occupant safety, Suzuki e-Vitara / all-electric Urban Cruiser scored 31 points / 40 or 77%.
    Good protection was noted for the knees and femurs of the driver and the front passenger. Adequate to good protection was noted for head, chest and other critical body areas. Good protection was noted against whiplash injuries in the case of a rear-end collision. Rear seats also had good whiplash protection.

    e-Vitara’s inbuilt eCall system worked as per expectation. The electric SUV also has a dedicated system to prevent secondary impacts after a collision. In the tests, the doors were openable during vehicle submergence, which would allow passengers to escape.
    Child Occupant safety
    Suzuki e-Vitara / all-electric Urban Cruiser scored 42 points out of 49 in Child Occupant safety, which is around 85%. The 6- and 10-year dummies showed good protection for all critical body areas in both the frontal offset and side barrier crash tests. All the child restraint systems were working as expected and were properly installed. Points were cut primarily due to non-availability of some features such as child presence detection.
    Vulnerable Road Users
    Suzuki e-Vitara / all-electric Urban Cruiser scored 79% in vulnerable road users assessment tests. Protection to the pedestrian’s or cyclist’s head was in the range of good to adequate. However, results were poor near the windscreen pillars and also at the base and top of the screen. Mixed results were noted in impacts to the pelvis. The femur had good protection across all tests. Similar results were noted for the knee and tibia. AEB functioned as per expectations across most scenarios. However, points were cut since the SUV does not have cyclist dooring protection.
    Safety Assist
    Suzuki e-Vitara / all-electric Urban Cruiser scored 72% in safety assist assessment tests. Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system worked as per expectations, with good ratings in reaction to other vehicles. Other safety assist systems such as seatbelt reminder, driver fatigue monitor, lane support system and speed assistance system were found to be working as per expectations. More

      eVitara is the first ever electric vehicle by Maruti Suzuki for India and Suzuki for global markets. Outside of countries like Japan and India, Suzuki has been operational in multiple global markets including Europe. This vehicle is soon to be crash tested by Euro NCAP, which is hailed as one of the most stringent crash tests in the world.
      Maruti eVitara Euro NCAP Soon
      Suzuki’s first ever electric vehicle, the eVitara, has been one of the most anticipated launches in the world. It is a crossover electric SUV which gets an optional AWD for off-roading with the help of a dual motor layout. eVitara will be exclusively manufactured by Maruti Suzuki at their Gujarat plant and will launch in markets like Japan, India and Europe.
      Maruti Suzuki eVitara Euro NCAP Crash Test Results Out Soon

This will be the first made-in-India Maruti Suzuki or Suzuki vehicle to be crash tested by Euro NCAP after a very long time. Outcome of this result might vary with India-spec model’s crash assessment by Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP.

      These spy shots confirm several details previously revealed through patent leaks — including the prominent rear spoiler, sculpted side profile, and aerodynamic proportions. The overall stance is muscular yet clean, designed to appeal to both Indian and international buyers.
      Global Ambitions and Feature-Rich Cabin
      Maruti Suzuki is positioning the eVitara as a global electric SUV, to be manufactured in India and exported to over 100 markets, including Europe and Japan. It is set to come loaded with high-end features such as:

      Maurti eVitara Production Target Reduced To 8,200 From 26,500 – Here’s Why

      by

      Maruti eVitara Electric SUVMaruti Suzuki has been working on its maiden electric vehicle, the eVitara for a long time. Now that it is slated to launch and go into mass production at their Gujarat plant, the company is facing hurdles to meet the supply of rare earth minerals. That is due to the recent developments from China as it curbs export of a few rare earth minerals.
      These developments from Dragonland have struck fears of production stoppages across the world. China’s actions are expected to create disruptions in current supply chains established across the world as these rare earth minerals are crucial in making magnets and other components in the tech industry.
      Maurti eVitara Production Reduced
      As per initial estimates, Maruti Suzuki had aimed to manufacture 26,512 units of their maiden eVitara electric SUV. However, the production goals have now been reduced to two-thirds of its initial estimation, which is around 8,221 units only. These 8,221 units will be manufactured between April and September, owing to supply constraints.
      It has to be noted that some companies in United States of America, Japan and European Union have been able to secure licenses from Beijing and are witnessing easing supplies. Something similar is yet to happen for Indian companies.
      Maruti Suzuki eVitara Interiors
      While the company will only manufacture around 8,221 units of the planned 26,512 units between April and September 2025, Maruti Suzuki will reportedly ramp up production at their Gujarat plant post September 2025 and meet or come close to around 67k units production target by the end of March 2026 at the rate of 440 units per day.
      58,728 of these units will be manufactured between October 2025 and March 2025, once the production is ramped up considerably. After the launch of Maruti Suzuki eVitara, there will be a Toyota counterpart of this vehicle called Urban Cruiser EV, which will also be manufactured at Maruti’s Gujarat plant.
      Bookings & Launch
      Production of eVitara and Urban Cruiser EV is solely dedicated to Maruti Suzuki’s Gujarat plant and it will act as an export hub for markets like Japan and Europe. Bookings for Maruti Suzuki eVitara in India are yet to commence. With the launch of eVitara, Maruti Suzuki is likely to gain significant market share in the lucrative electric vehicle market of India where Tata Motors, Mahindra, Hyundai and MG Motor are currently operating.

      Maruti eVitara Patented In India – Customer Previews From Next Month In Netherlands

      by

      Maruti eVitara Patented In IndiaA truly global product, Maruti Suzuki eVitara will be manufactured in India and exported to more than 100 global markets including Europe and Japan
      Maruti is readying its first fully electric car, the eVitara, for launch in September 2025. Ahead of that, the eVitara has been patented in India. Similar exercises are likely to be happening across the intended export markets as well. Let’s explore some of the key highlights of Maruti Suzuki eVitara.
      Maruti eVitara – Styling and features
      With its muscular profile, Maruti eVitara will be easily recognizable on the streets. It has distinctive lighting elements, a rugged bumper and a sculpted bonnet with prominent grooves. Side profile has polygonal wheel arches, thick body cladding, sporty alloy wheels and door moulding. While the front has traditional door handles, the rear units are mounted on the C-pillars. At the rear, eVitara has a raked windshield, connected tail lamps and a chunky bumper.
      Maruti eVitara Patented In India
      Users will be able to access a comprehensive range of premium features with the eVitara. Some of the key highlights include a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch multi-information display, fixed glass sunroof, premium sound system by Harman, multi-colour ambient lighting and wireless charger. eVitara also gets power adjustable driver seat, ventilated seats and customizable seat options.
      Safety package includes 7-airbags, tyre pressure monitoring system, electronic parking brake with brake hold function and all-wheel disc brakes. The SUV will have ADAS Level 2, a 360° view camera and front and rear parking sensors.
      Maruti Suzuki eVitara India Debut
      Battery pack options for Maruti eVitara include a 49-kWh and a 61-kWh unit. These will be Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) units, sourced from BYD. Variants with the larger battery pack are expected to deliver a range of around 500 km. Both 2WD and AWD (Suzuki AllGrip-e system) options will be available with the eVitara. The AWD variants will come with drive modes of Eco, Normal and Sport. There will be an additional Snow Mode as well for handling snow and other slippery surfaces.
      Suzuki eVitara preview event in The Netherlands
      eVitara preview event in the Netherlands
      Europe will be among the key markets for the eVitara. With that in mind, Suzuki has started its promotional campaigns across the continent. In June, preview events for the eVitara will be conducted at four special locations in the Netherlands. Users will be able to explore the eVitara inside and out. However, Suzuki won’t be offering any test drives at these events.
      Similar promotional events are expected to be organized in Japan as well. Made in India Maruti cars have emerged as popular options in Japan. For example, Fronx had registered cumulative bookings of around 9,000 units in Japan. This is 9 times more than the initial target set by Suzuki. India-made 5-door Jimny emerged an even more popular choice in Japan, with 50,000 bookings received in just 4 days. Bookings had to be paused, as the waiting period stretched to a staggering 3.5 years.
      eVitara will be manufactured at Suzuki’s plant in Gujarat. Production is expected to commence soon. Around 70,000 units are planned to be manufactured in 2025, most of which will be meant for export markets. Allocation for the domestic market could be increased in the future based on demand and available production capacity. In India, the Maruti eVitara will be sold via the brand’s Nexa dealerships.

      Suzuki-Toyota Jointly Developed Electric Van Launch in 2025 – 200 Km Range

      by

      Suzuki e-Every Concept
      Introduction of the electric version of the ‘Every’ commercial van is part of Suzuki’s broad-based goal of achieving carbon neutrality
      As may be recalled, the Suzuki e-Every commercial electric kei van was unveiled for the first time as a prototype at the G7 Hiroshima Summit in 2023. It was planned for launch in the same year, but things appear to have gotten delayed. The project has now received the green signal, as Suzuki has officially confirmed the launch of e-Every electric commercial van in 2025. Let’s check out the details.
      Suzuki e-Every electric kei van – What to expect?
      Suzuki currently sells the petrol powered Every commercial van in its home market and select overseas markets such as Pakistan. It comes from the Suzuki Carry family, which had also spawned the Maruti Omni in India. However, both vans are quite different and not rebadged versions. Talking about the e-Every electric kei commercial van, the visual profile is largely the same as the ICE version. There are only some EV-specific changes such as the front-bumper-mounted charging port.
      Suzuki e-Every electric commercial van has a boxy profile with a large windscreen, flat front fascia, trapezoidal headlamps and prominent grille with vertical and horizontal slats. The van is built for practicality, featuring sliding doors in the second row. Dimensionally, the e-Every electric commercial van will be similar to the ICE version. The latter is 3,395 mm long and 1,475 mm wide. With a tall profile measuring 1,815 mm, the van ensures ample headroom for passengers. Suzuki Every van is also known for its spacious boot.
      Electric e-Every van will be relatively better equipped in comparison to its ICE counterpart. It can have more space and some premium features as well. More details are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks. While official specifications have not been revealed, it is possible that Suzuki e-Every electric van could offer a range of around 200 km. The electric motor is expected to produce around 64 PS. This is almost the same as that of the 660cc turbo unit available with petrol-powered Suzuki Every. The 660cc NA petrol unit generates 49 PS.
      Toyota, Daihatsu versions to launch in 2025 as well
      Suzuki Every has siblings, sold as Toyota Pixis and Daihatsu Hijet. These too will be getting the electrified versions. Electric versions of Suzuki Every, Toyota Pixis and Daihatsu Hijet are based on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform. All three are essentially the same, with differences seen across only branding elements. Similar to the ICE versions that are manufactured by Daihatsu, the electric vans will also be manufactured by Daihatsu.
      The electric powertrain and linked systems are jointly developed by the three carmakers. While Toyota has shared its expertise in electrification technology, Suzuki and Daihatsu have lent their expertise in designing and manufacturing small-size cars. The electric kei vans will help these brands to achieve their carbon neutrality goals. It aligns with the larger roadmap provided by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA).
