Suzuki E-Vitara electric lease deals

Leasing a Suzuki e-Vitara SUV in the UK

The Japanese car maker, Suzuki, have been notoriously quiet in the world of battery electric vehicles. For a brand renowned for frugality, practicality and innovation in cars, bikes and marine vehicles, it has been somewhat surprising that zero-emission tech in either car or bike format hasn’t been more prolific. However, under the guidance of Toshihiro Suzuki (the family tree is strong!) the group have updated their popular Vitara into an all-electric SUV.

The “e-Vitara” is being promised as a capable SUV which has been designed to impress. Backed by a stupendous 10 year warranty (a service activated warranty available to UK customers on Suzuki cars under 10 years old and under 100,000 miles) the SUV combines bold propositions and presence with impressive technology and driver equipment.

Sharp lines and cutting edge design is underpinned by some key features like interior ambient lighting, parking sensors and camera, smart climate control, keyless entry and start plus heated seats and steering wheel.

More luxury models include the glass roof, 360-degree camera and adjustable driver’s seat. With families in mind, the new Vitara EV has flexible boot space, with foldable and recline rear seats, to offer up to 562L of space.

So what options are available on the e-Vitara?

• Motion - from £29,999 this option includes 18” alloys, integrate display, ambient lighting, front/rear parking sensors, blind spot monitor, hill hold control, traffic sign recognition, air conditioning, seat heating, steering wheel heating, adaptive cruise control, carpet mats, electrically adjustable door mirrors, high beam assist, navigation, privacy glass and wireless smartphone link; and           
•  Ultra - from £35,799 this adds 19” alloys, 360 degree camera, glass roof, 10-way power adjustable driver seat, Infinity premium audio and adaptive cruise control.
