If you’re looking to jump into the EV trend but want a car that’s easy to live with and loaded with features, the upcoming Maruti Suzuki eVitara might just fit the bill. It’s Maruti’s first fully electric SUV, and it’s set to debut in India by September 2025. And yes, it’s not just about the green factor, it’s shaping up to be quite a capable and well-equipped ride.
Design and Styling
The eVitara holds on to a classic SUV identity not a soft-roader. It gets chunky cladding, solid clearance, and a wide, planted frame. It also features a closed grille design, Y-shaped DRLs, LED lighting all around, and stylish 18-inch alloy wheels. Dual-tone colors are also in the mix, giving it a premium, youthful appeal.
Battery and Performance
You’ll get two battery options: a smaller 49 kWh pack and a bigger 61 kWh one. If range anxiety is a concern, the larger variant claims over 500 km on a single charge. Both versions are front-wheel drive in India, with international variants expected to get AWD. The top-end variant can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in under 9 seconds, delivering solid acceleration for an electric SUV.
Interior and Tech
Get inside, and it’s clear this is a bold upgrade for Maruti’s interiors. The cabin comes with twin 10.25-inch screens (one for infotainment, one for the cluster), wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and even a 10-speaker Infinity sound system. You get a fixed glass roof, soft ambient lights, cool ventilated seats, and even a wireless phone charger. It’s a surprisingly well-loaded cabin, especially for a Maruti.
Features and Safety
This is the first time Maruti will offer Level 2 ADAS features in any of its cars. That means stuff like lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, and blind spot detection all aimed at making your drive safer and smarter. You also get 7 airbags, 360-degree camera, and an electronic parking brake with auto hold.
