The 2026 Suzuki eVitara cracks the code for enjoyable EVs

Suzuki's first electric vehicle, the 2026 eVitara, upholds the brand's reputation for fun driving dynamics and simple operator interfaces. In a break from tradition for the brand, value pricing has slipped, and the premium positioning for such a small SUV comes as a bit of a shock. Suzuki owners will feel right at home when they get behind the wheel, but newcomers interested in the brand have an incredible amount of alternatives, offering better value, better range, or better performance – or a combination of all three. I take a look at the new Suzuki eVitara inside and out, and hit the road to share my thoughts on what Suzuki's first EV is like to live with.
