The 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo witnessed significant participation from automakers worldwide. The event featured several global car unveilings and a few notable launches. Also, it brought together the best in automotive innovation, showcasing a range of cutting-edge cars, SUVs, and EVs. This year’s event highlighted India’s strides toward sustainable mobility, with major players unveiling futuristic concepts and production-ready models. In this article, let’s take a look at the top vehicles showcased at the event.
Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara
First on the list is much anticipated Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara. The production of the new e-Vitara will begin in the coming months at Maruti’s Gujarat Plant and will be exported to over 100 countries including Europe and Japan. The company also said that the e-Vitara is part of Suzuki’s technology strategy for the next 10 years and Maruti Suzuki will be the exclusive manufacturer of e-Vitara for the world. The e-Vitara will be the first electric vehicle from Maruti Suzuki in India and will compete with the Tata Curvv EV, MG ZS EV, Hyundai Creta EV and Mahindra BE 06 when launched officially.
The new Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara is built on an all-new Heartect-e platform designed exclusively for EVs. The company claims that it merges the characteristics of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) with the durability of an SUV. The EV features eAxles, which integrate the motor and inverter into a single unit. The e Vitara will be offered with two battery options – 49kWh and 61kWh. The batteries use LFP (Lithium Iron-phosphate) ‘blade’ cells sourced by BYD and the larger 61kWh has a range of up to 500 km on one full charge.
The 49kWh battery will come paired with a single motor placed on the front axle which puts out 144hp. The bigger 61kWh battery also gets single-motor but here it puts out 174hp. Both motors produce identical 189Nm of torque which is surprisingly low compared to other electric SUVs in the market. There’s also an AWD version offered with a dual motor setup, placed one on each axle and this puts out 184hp and 300Nm torque. Suzuki calls the AWD tech in e-Vitara e-AllGrip, it features a Trail mode that engages the brakes on wheels lacking traction while directing torque to the wheels with grip. This system effectively simulates a limited-slip differential.
Maruti Suzuki has also introduced the ‘e For Me’ initiative, aiming to establish a comprehensive electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem in India. This strategy includes the installation of fast-charging stations at dealerships across the top 100 cities, the development of a dedicated charging application, and the establishment of over 1,500 EV-specific service centres in more than 1,000 cities.
