Suzuki e VITARA vs Zeekr X

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 162 miles for the Suzuki e VITARA and 171 miles for the Zeekr X - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 45 minutes in the Suzuki e VITARA and 20 in the Zeekr X, so the Zeekr X loses less time at each stop.

The Suzuki e VITARA is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 36 mm narrower than the Zeekr X. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 600 mm of total clearance for the Suzuki e VITARA and about 564 mm of total clearance for the Zeekr X. The Suzuki e VITARA also turns in a 1.1 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Suzuki e VITARA and 90% for the Zeekr X. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use LFP-type cells, which are happy charged to 100% every day. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
