So you’ve been waiting for Maruti Suzuki’s first foray into the electric world, well the wait is finally over. Set to debut on September 3, 2025, the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara is shaping up to be a major milestone in India’s electric SUV segment.
After its first appearance as the eVX concept, this all-electric SUV has generated a lot of buzz – and now we finally get a launch date. Here’s everything you need to know before the curtain lifts.
Design That Looks the Part
e-Vitara doesn’t shout for attention but its design does catch your eye. You get three-point LED DRLs, piano black touches, connected rear LED taillights and large 18-inch aerodynamic alloy wheels. The design is sharp, futuristic and very NEXA-like – premium but not loud.
Interior That Feels Fresh
Inside its all about a tech-rich yet calming vibe. A dual-tone brown and black theme, digital cockpit-style layout and two floating screens – a 10.1-inch infotainment system and a 10.25-inch digital driver display. It doesn’t just stop at looks either, you get ventilated seats, 10-way powered driver seat, wireless charging and even a glass roof. Higher trims might get an Infinity by Harman audio system.
Battery, Range & Performance Options
Maruti is offering two battery packs:
- With its 49 kWh battery pack, the e-Vitara is expected to deliver around 346 km of range, producing roughly 142 bhp and 192.5 Nm of torque – ideal for daily urban use.
- With a 61 kWh battery powering the front wheels, this variant is expected to deliver up to 428 km of range, producing around 172 bhp and 192.5 Nm of torque.
- Opting for the all-wheel-drive variant with the larger 61 kWh battery gives you an estimated range of about 412 km, along with a stronger performance output of 178 bhp and a punchy 300 Nm of torque.
So whether you’re a daily commuter or someone who likes to take weekend getaways, there’s a variant for you.Safety isn’t an afterthought. e-Vitara gets 7 airbags (yes, even a knee airbag), Level 2 ADAS features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist, 360-degree camera, all-wheel disc brakes and TPMS. In short, it’s loaded for peace of mind.
Built for EVs from the Ground Up
What’s more serious is that it’s not just a petrol car turned electric. It’s based on the new HEARTECT-e EV platform which improves battery packaging, strength and handling. And it’ll be made in India at Suzuki’s Gujarat plant – with exports too.
Expected Price Range
You’re looking at a price of ₹17 lakh to ₹22.50 lakh (ex-showroom) depending on variant and battery. This pricing positions it as a strong contender against rivals like the MG ZS EV and the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV.
