The Maruti e Vitara is a bold step towards electrification by one of India’s most loved car manufacturers, and it’s the first-ever battery-electric SUV developed purely for India.
The small size and spaciousness of this SUV, with just a touch of electric technology coming right out, makes for an eco-friendly alternative to conventional fuel-jetted vehicles, which we are used to. Whether navigating the city or on an adventure, the Maruti e Vitara offers an optimal combination of power, comfort, and eco-friendliness for a new generation of drivers.
Maruti e Vitara Sleek Design and Exterior Appeal
The Maruti e-Vitara features an edgy, futurist design and is aerodynamic too, unlike its petrol stablemates.
With a set of striking LED headlamps, an aggressive front grille with the Suzuki logo at the centre, and wheel arches that bulge out, it looks tough yet classy. In up to 10 exterior colours, including vivid dual-tone choices, this is a sub-4.2-metre-long SUV – perfect for manoeuvrability in the city streets, and its road presence as well is very much like any other vehicle on the highway. Panoramic Fixed Glass Sunroof: Adds a bit of glass to the top with our standard panoramic fixed glass sunroof, flooding the cabin with natural light and impressive outward visibility.
Comfortable Interior and Advanced Features
Step into the e-Vitara, and you will be greeted by generous space inside, on account of the Heartect-e platform that is designed with a long wheelbase to ensure more legroom. The dash includes a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with an Infinity premium audio system for great sound. Ventilated front seats, wireless charging, and a multi-information display ensure there’s no end to convenience features in your tech-friendly environment. Higher trims such as Zeta and Alpha feature Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) that not only enhance safety but also ease the drives.
Powertrain, Performance, and Range
Underneath the Maruti e-Vitara is a clever arrangement of batteries to suit various needs. There are two available batteries to choose from – a 49 kWh pack with the entry-level Delta model, good for about 142 bhp and a claimed range of up to 344 km, or the higher-capacity 61 kWh battery in Zeta and Alpha trims, bringing power up to anywhere between 172 and 184 bhp and a range of between 394 and 543 km on one charge (depending on drive mode and configuration).
The top end also gets an all-wheel-drive (AWD) option, making it the first electric vehicle under ₹25 lakh in India to come with this feature for better traction on diverse surfaces. Keep the open road within your reach with fast charging and a network of over 2,000 charging locations nationwide.
Top-Notch Safety Features
Safety is at its best in the Maruti e Vitara and has achieved a 5-star rating during the BNCAP crash test. Standard features include seven airbags (including a knee airbag for the driver), ABS with EBD, hill-hold control, and all-disc brakes. Other features, such as a 360-degree camera, multi-collision braking, and electronic stability control, provide ultimate peace of mind for you and your passengers.
Launch Date and Pricing Details
The Maruti e Vitara, on the other hand, has been officially launched in India today with prices starting from around ₹15 lakh and going all the way up to ₹22.5 lakh (ex-showroom) based on your choice of variant and battery. Maruti also has experience with various innovative ownership models such as Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS), assured buyback, and subscription to make it easier for consumers to shift towards EVs. Manufactured at the Hansalpur facility in Gujarat, it is on sale at Nexa dealerships, and deliveries will commence shortly after announcement.
Summary: Why the Maruti e Vitara Stands Out
In summary, the Maruti e Vitara is a visionary move from one of India’s most trusted carmakers, combining advanced technology, affordability and electric capability in what seems to be just the beginning of Maruti’s r(ev)olutionary journey. That could make it a strong challenger to the likes of the Hyundai Creta EV and Tata Curvv with its security blanket range, solid safety suite, and cool design. So if you’re looking to go green without skimping on comfort or capability, the Maruti e Vitara is an attractive option with more exciting drives in your future.
FAQ’s
Q1. Does the E Vitara have a sunroof?
Ans. Yes, the Maruti e Vitara has a fixed-glass sunroof (also known as panoramic or single-pane with a retractable shade). It doesn’t slide open but lets in plenty of natural light, which seems to have been the intention; it can be had on higher trims like Zeta and Alpha — you have to pay extra for it — for that premium, airy feel.
Q2. Is the E Vitara a 7-seater?
Ans. And it’s a 5-seater electric SUV for families, with the sliding and reclining rear seat adjusting to provide greater legroom. (For 7 seats, look at upcoming models like the Grand Vitara 7-seater.
Q3. What is the cost of the E-Vitara?
Ans. The Maruti e Vitara – which will be India’s next electric SUV – is expected to be priced between ₹15 and 22.5 lakh ex-showroom, depending on the trim and battery variant (48.8 kWh or 61.1 kWh). It will have official prices soon after it arrives in February 2026.
