Maruti Suzuki e Vitara to Launch in India in February

Maruti Suzuki is preparing to launch the e Vitara in India in February 2026, although the exact date is yet to be confirmed. The brand’s first-ever electric vehicle is already on sale in Europe, where it is offered with two battery pack options and both FWD and AWD configurations. For India, however, Maruti Suzuki has confirmed that the e Vitara will be offered exclusively with front-wheel drive, while the battery pack options will remain the same. The e Vitara, built on a dedicated electric platform and manufactured in India, marks a significant milestone not only for the brand but also for the Indian electric vehicle market. Here’s everything you need to know about the model.

Variant-wise, the entry-level Delta trim will be limited to the 49kWh battery, whereas the Zeta and Alpha variants will be equipped with the larger 61kWh unit.
