Suzuki e Vitara Lands in Australia: How to Accessorise Suzuki's First Electric SUV
CarMoods TeamSuzuki has finally plugged in. The e Vitara — the brand's first-ever battery-electric vehicle for Australia — has landed in showrooms, with the first deliveries now rolling out to owners around the country.
It arrives as one of the more affordable ways into a brand-new electric SUV. Two grades lead the range: a front-wheel-drive Motion with a 49kWh battery good for around 344km of WLTP range, and a flagship Ultra using Suzuki's Allgrip-e all-wheel-drive system and a larger 61kWh battery. A front-drive Ultra pairing that bigger battery with the lower-output motor stretches to as much as 426km on the WLTP cycle.
For a compact, sharply priced EV aimed squarely at first-time electric buyers, the e Vitara is a big moment for a brand best known for its petrol light SUVs. If one is on its way to your driveway, here's how to set the cabin up properly from day one.

What the e Vitara means for Aussie EV buyers
Australia's EV shelf has never been busier, and most of the action has been at the affordable end. The e Vitara slots right into that fight — small enough for city parking, roomy enough for a weekend away, and priced to tempt buyers who've been waiting for a familiar badge to go electric.
A new EV also changes how you think about accessories. Cabins are quieter, so rattles and clutter stand out more. Interior heat matters more, because running the climate control to cool a baking cabin nibbles at your range. The right kit isn't decoration — it's part of living with the car.
The first accessories worth adding
You don't need to spend big to make a new electric SUV feel finished. A handful of well-chosen basics cover comfort, cleanliness and a bit of personality — the things you'll notice on every drive.
Start with the cabin's atmosphere. A fresh-smelling, tidy interior is the fastest way to make a new car feel genuinely yours, and it's where our interior accessories range earns its keep.

Snoopy Car Air Freshener – Rotating Head Vent Clip Aroma Diffuser
Clips neatly to a vent and keeps a fresh, subtle scent moving through the cabin without cluttering the dash.
Shop nowPro tip
New-EV interiors have no engine to warm the cabin, so trapped smells linger. Crack the windows for a minute before you set off, then let a vent-clip diffuser do the rest — gentle beats overpowering in a small, sealed cabin.
Beating the Australian sun (and saving range)
This is the one every EV owner underrates. Park a small electric SUV in an open car park through an Aussie summer and the cabin turns into an oven, baking the dash and forcing the air-con to work overtime the moment you climb in.
A windscreen sunshade is the cheapest range-saver you'll ever buy. It keeps interior temperatures down, protects the dashboard from UV, and means less energy spent cooling the cabin before you've even pulled out.
Editor's Choice
Lightning McQueen Car Windshield Sunshade UV Protection Cover
Folds flat behind the seat and blocks the worst of the summer heat, so the cabin stays cooler and the air-con has less to fight.

Keeping a new cabin fresh and clean
The honeymoon phase of a new car is worth protecting. A quick-wipe routine and a scent you actually like will keep the e Vitara feeling showroom-fresh long after the badge stops being new.
