The Lyon Motor Show will host the 100% electric Suzuki e Vitara for the first time in France.
This event marks an important milestone for Suzuki, which will showcase its new SUV alongside its entire hybrid range.
Held every two years, the Lyon Show has established itself as a major event for the general public. The 2023 edition attracted over 76,000 visitors. Staying true to the concept of a “product show,” the event allows attendees to discover the new offerings from manufacturers, including Suzuki, which is particularly well established in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Suzuki feels at home in Lyon
Two examples of the Suzuki e Vitara will be displayed this year from September 24 to 28, 2025. This model introduces a new platform specific to electric vehicles, the HEARTECT-e, designed in collaboration with Toyota to combine lightness, safety, and spaciousness. The SUV will be offered with three powertrain configurations: 106 kW (approximately 144 hp) with a 49 kWh battery in front-wheel drive, 128 kW (174 hp) with a 61 kWh battery in front-wheel drive, and 135 kW (184 hp) with a 61 kWh battery and ALLGRIP-e all-wheel drive. This last technology illustrates Suzuki’s commitment to maintaining off-road capabilities in its electrified models.
The design of the e Vitara emphasizes a combination of robustness and modernity, while the electric powertrain promises a dynamic and quiet driving experience. Its commercialization in Europe is expected soon.
