In India’s rapidly evolving automotive landscape, the arrival of the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara marks a significant turning point. This much-anticipated electric SUV is more than just a new model – it’s a bold step forward for the country’s largest carmaker, symbolising their serious commitment to the electric vehicle (EV) revolution.
Scheduled to launch in September 2025, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara will be the brand’s first-ever all-electric SUV. Rather than simply modifying an existing car, Maruti Suzuki has developed the eVitara from scratch on the new HEARTECT-e platform, reflecting a fresh approach to electrification that combines global insights with local sensibilities.
From Concept to Reality: The Journey of the eVitara
The story of the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara began with the unveiling of the eVX concept at the Auto Expo 2023. Enthusiasts got an early glimpse of the company’s electric ambitions, which later evolved into the more production-ready eVitara showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. This thoughtful evolution shows Maruti’s determination to blend futuristic design with the practicality that Indian buyers value.
Distinctive Design for Indian Roads
Unlike many EVs that chase sleek, coupe-like designs, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara confidently embraces a rugged, SUV-inspired look. Its upright stance and muscular wheel arches are perfectly suited to India’s diverse road conditions, while the bold front panel with integrated LED headlights and Y-shaped DRLs creates an unmistakable identity.
The hidden rear door handles and aerodynamically optimised 18-inch alloys add a premium touch, while the choice of 10 vibrant colour options, including dual-tone variants, ensures there’s an eVitara to match every personality.
Performance Meets Practicality
Understanding that range is a top concern for EV buyers, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara comes with two battery pack options: a 49kWh pack offering an estimated 420 km range, and a larger 61kWh pack promising 500+ km on a single charge. Both packs use reliable LFP ‘Blade’ cells sourced from BYD, known for their longevity and thermal stability.

The 61kWh variant can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just under 9 seconds, delivering a confident driving experience whether you’re navigating busy city streets or cruising on the highway. And with multiple driving modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport – drivers can tailor the experience to their needs.
Charging and Thermal Management
Maruti Suzuki ensures flexibility with multiple charging options: home AC charging, DC fast charging (which can take the battery from 10% to 80% in about 50 minutes), and even a portable charger for emergencies. An advanced thermal management system keeps the battery performing reliably in India’s varying climate conditions, from Rajasthan’s heat to the chill of Himachal Pradesh.
A High-Tech, Comfort-Focused Cabin
Step inside the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara and you’ll find a modern, premium interior that’s a departure from traditional Maruti designs. The dual-screen setup – a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display and a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen – creates a contemporary vibe. Minimalist physical controls and a floating centre console give the cabin a spacious, airy feel.
The technology suite includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connected car tech with remote access, a 10-speaker Infinity audio system, wireless charging, and even configurable ambient lighting. Passengers will appreciate features like ventilated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, rear AC vents, and a fixed glass roof that enhances the feeling of space.
Safety Takes Centre Stage
The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara isn’t just about performance and looks – it’s also set to be one of Maruti’s safest offerings yet. It will debut the brand’s first Level 2 ADAS package in India, including over 15 advanced driver assistance features like lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous emergency braking.
Beyond ADAS, traditional safety elements include seven airbags, ESP, a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX child seat anchors. These features underline Maruti Suzuki’s seriousness about offering not just an electric vehicle, but a genuinely safe one.
Variants and Pricing Strategy
The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara is expected to be launched in three key variants:
- Delta: The base variant with essential features and the 49kWh battery pack. Expected to start around ₹18-20 lakh (ex-showroom).
- Zeta: Mid-level with more features and both battery pack options, priced at ₹20-22 lakh (49kWh) and ₹22-24 lakh (61kWh).
- Alpha: The top-of-the-line variant with all comfort and safety features, available only with the 61kWh battery pack, likely to be priced around ₹24-25 lakh (ex-showroom).
This pricing positions the eVitara as a strong competitor to other upcoming EVs like the Tata Curvv EV, MG Windsor EV, and Hyundai Creta Electric.
Maruti Suzuki’s Strategy and Market Impact
Maruti Suzuki’s approach with the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara is deliberate – targeting the mid-premium EV segment where buyers are more open to paying extra for electric technology. The company plans to produce around 70,000 units annually, with half of them earmarked for export to Japan and Europe. This global outlook not only achieves economies of scale but also ensures the eVitara is built to international standards.
Recognising the importance of charging infrastructure, Maruti Suzuki is also working on setting up charging stations at its dealerships and service centres nationwide, helping to ease the transition for new EV buyers.
The Road Ahead
As the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara gets closer to its September 2025 launch, it promises to be a catalyst for change in India’s EV market. It’s more than just an SUV – it’s a statement that India’s electric future is here, and Maruti Suzuki is ready to lead the charge. With its thoughtful blend of performance, comfort, safety, and Maruti’s trusted reliability, the eVitara could well become the defining electric SUV for Indian roads.
