Maruti Suzuki, India’s most trusted car brand, is finally entering the electric vehicle (EV) race with the launch of its first all-electric SUV — the Maruti e-Vitara. Unveiled at the India Mobility Global Expo, the e-Vitara marks a major shift for Maruti, proving its readiness to embrace the future of mobility.
Production has already begun at its Hansalpur plant in Gujarat, setting the stage for its official launch in December 2025.
Design
The Maruti e-Vitara sports a design that beautifully balances tradition and modernity. Its bold SUV stance, sharp LED lighting, and aerodynamic body lines make it look futuristic yet familiar. Measuring 4275 mm in length, 1800 mm in width, and with a 2700 mm wheelbase, this EV offers both practicality and road presence.
Built on a purpose-designed electric platform, it’s not just an electric conversion of an existing petrol car. This means improved space utilization, better battery placement, and enhanced safety. Maruti also aims to make it a global electric SUV, exporting it to over 100 international markets, showcasing India’s EV engineering to the world.
Battery
The Maruti e-Vitara will come in two battery pack options — 49 kWh and 61 kWh. According to the company, the top-end 61 kWh variant will offer an impressive range of up to 500 km on a single charge. That’s enough for long-distance drives without range anxiety.
It will also feature fast-charging technology, allowing up to 80% charge in under an hour. Whether it’s daily city commutes or highway cruising, Maruti promises a smooth, powerful, and silent driving experience.
| Variant | Battery Pack | Claimed Range | Fast Charging |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 49 kWh | ~400 km | Yes |
| Long Range | 61 kWh | ~500 km | Yes |
Features
The e-Vitara is set to be Maruti’s most feature-rich SUV ever. Safety and convenience are top priorities, with 7 airbags, ADAS Level-2 driver assistance, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and adaptive cruise control among the highlights.
Comfort hasn’t been compromised either — the SUV will offer ventilated front seats, a large touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital instrument cluster, and connected car tech with voice command support. Essentially, it’s an intelligent SUV designed for modern driving demands.
Pricing
While Maruti Suzuki hasn’t revealed official prices yet, insiders suggest a starting price between ₹25–30 lakh (ex-showroom). This places it in the premium mid-size electric SUV segment, above the Grand Vitara and Victorias in Maruti’s lineup.
In terms of rivals, the e-Vitara will go head-to-head with established electric SUVs like the Hyundai Creta EV, Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra XUV400 Pro, and MG ZS EV.
| Model | Estimated Price (₹ lakh) | Range (km) | Segment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maruti e-Vitara | 25–30 | 400–500 | Mid-size SUV |
| Hyundai Creta EV | 23–28 | 450 | Mid-size SUV |
| Tata Curvv EV | 20–25 | 450 | Coupe SUV |
| Mahindra XUV400 Pro | 20–24 | 420 | Compact SUV |
| MG ZS EV | 23–28 | 461 | Mid-size SUV |
The e-Vitara’s success could redefine Maruti’s dominance in a new era where electric powertrains replace petrol engines.
The Maruti e-Vitara represents more than just an electric car — it’s Maruti Suzuki’s statement of evolution. With its futuristic design, long range, advanced tech, and strong brand trust, it could well become the next big thing in India’s electric revolution. If Maruti manages competitive pricing, the e-Vitara might be the spark that accelerates EV adoption across India.
