Maruti Suzuki revealed its first EV,  the e Vitara, for the second time in India, following its debut earlier this year at the Auto Expo. While we await the prices, the best-selling carmaker has shared key details about its electric car ahead of its launch in the country. These include the battery, range, variants, and pricing options. We already know that the e Vitara is on sale in Europe with two battery pack options and both FWD and AWD configurations. 

However, Maruti Suzuki has confirmed that the India-spec version will not offer AWD. That said, the e Vitara will come with the same two battery pack options as its international counterpart (a 49kWh and a 61kWh), available across three variants (Delta, Zeta, and Alpha).

Maruti Suzuki’s first electric vehicle sits on the dedicated HEARTECT-e platform and can seat five people. It measures 4,275mm in length, 1,800mm in width, and 1,640mm in height, with a 2,700mm wheelbase. The electric SUV comes in 10 colour options, four of which are dual-tone. In India's growing electric segment, the new Maruti Suzuki EV competes with the Hyundai Creta Electric, MG Windsor EV, Tata Curvv EV, and Mahindra BE 6.

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara: Battery, Range

Both the smaller 49kWh version and the larger 61 kWh version of the Maruti e Vitara are paired with a front-mounted electric motor. The 49kWh battery produces 142bhp, while the 61kWh pack boosts the power to 172bhp, while torque remains the same at 192.5Nm. The base Delta variant will be available exclusively with the 49kWh battery, while the higher Zeta and Alpha variants will feature the larger 61kWh pack.

In terms of range, the 49kWh variant has a claimed range (WLTP) of 344 kilometres, while the 61kWh variant can cover up to 543 kilometres (ARAI). Both variants come with a front-wheel-drive (FWD) configuration, though the international-spec e Vitara also offers an all-wheel-drive (AWD) dual-motor setup.

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara: Exterior

The best-selling carmaker’s first EV makes a strong impression with its polyhedral design and muscular stance. Its front fascia carries a futuristic appeal, featuring slim Y-shaped LED DRLs, a blacked-out bumper, fog lamps, and a silver skid plate. The sharp body lines and sculpted surfaces further add to the look.

Along the sides, the SUV stands out with heavy door cladding, prominent wheel arches, and 18-inch dual-tone aerodynamic alloy wheels. Its rear profile is defined by wraparound LED taillamps, a chunky bumper, a shark fin antenna, and a roof-mounted spoiler.

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara: Interior and Features

Inside, the electric SUV gets a dual-tone black-and-tan theme that extends across the dashboard, door pads, and seats. There are glossy black accents and semi-leatherette seats that merge style with comfort. For the first time in a Maruti Suzuki, the e Vitara features a two-spoke steering wheel.

Among other highlights are a dual-screen setup (10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment and a 10.1-inch digital driver’s display), an Infinity sound system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting, electrically adjustable and foldable ORVMs, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, a PM2.5 air filter, and ventilated front seats, and sliding and reclining rear seats.

The safety is taken care of by up to seven airbags, front and rear parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, electronic stability control (ESC), an electronic parking brake with auto hold, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and Level-2 ADAS, with features such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and lane keep assist. It is worth noting that the e Vitara has scored a 5-star safety rating in the Bharat NCAP crash tests.

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara: Three Ways to Buy the SUV

Maruti Suzuki will offer three unique ownership models for its first EV in India to suit different customer preferences and financial plans. Here's a look at the options:

Battery As A Service (BaaS): This option will let you pay a separate fee for the battery pack, lowering the initial cost of the e Vitara. It will offer flexibility, allowing owners to enjoy the vehicle’s performance and range at a reduced upfront price.

Subscription Plan: This model of purchase offers flexibility with a fixed monthly rental. At the end of the term, you can either return the car or buy it outright, making it ideal for short-term use or those seeking no long-term commitment.

Full Ownership (Buy Outright): For long-term ownership, the Full Purchase option lets you buy the e Vitara outright with a one-time payment, offering complete control and no recurring fees.

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara: Charging

Maruti Suzuki is ensuring a hassle-free ownership experience for its EV with over 2,000 exclusive charging stations across 1,100 cities, in partnership with 13 charging aggregators.

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara: Price Announcement

While the carmaker hasn't confirmed a specific date, the prices for the e Vitara are expected to be revealed in early 2026. We anticipate the EV to be priced starting around Rs 17 lakh (ex-showroom).
