Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara: Everything we know ahead of launch tomorrow

New Delhi: Maruti Suzuki are set to enter the Indian electric market for the first time with the e-Vitara, as they launch the car on December 2nd, 2025. The EV is being made at the Hansalpur factory in Gujarat and has been developed with the target of heavy export across 100 global markets.

7,000 units of the e-Vitara have been shipped since the export started in August. The UK has been one of the largest markets for the product so far. It is expected to be priced between Rs 20 lakh and Rs 25 lakh and will be competing with the likes of Tata Curvv EV, Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE 6, and MG ZS EV. 

Suzuki internationally is coming with two battery options, a 49 kWh and a 61 kWh, which both power a front-mounted electric motor. The bigger 61 kWh unit can also be availed with a second motor to make it All-Wheel-Drive, called AllGrip-e. However, for India, at present, only the front-wheel drive options will be available at present and the AWD trim will come at a later stage.

The e-Vitara comes with a premium and modern cabin with quite a funky asymmetrical dashboard design. It will come with a dual-screen configuration with a single glass panel. At first look, the layout looks functional, and it has enough buttons that can be reached easily, but the positioning of the instrument display just looks slightly fiddly.

The top trims will come with a 360-degree camera, wireless charging, keyless entry, powered driver’s seat, sunroof and Infinity audio system with subwoofers as well. In terms of safety, it has seven airbags and Level 2 ADAS. The spacing inside the cabin is decent, but with a 238-litre boot with the seats pushed back, it does fall short in front of rivals. A different under-floor tray and storage layout for the Indian spec means it will have more usable space.
