Maruti Suzuki is gearing up for one of its most crucial unveilings yet with the launch of the e Vitara, the company’s first fully electric SUV for India as well as global markets. After months of anticipation, the EV will finally be revealed tomorrow, marking Maruti’s official entry into the rapidly growing electric vehicle segment. Customer deliveries are expected to begin in early 2026.
Production & Export Strategy Already in Motion
Maruti Suzuki has already commenced production of the e Vitara at its high-tech Gujarat EV manufacturing facility, which will act as the global hub for this electric SUV. Impressively, the company has already exported the first batch of e Vitaras to Europe and the UK—signalling the model’s strategic role in Suzuki’s global electrification roadmap.
The India-spec e Vitara is expected to be nearly identical to the export versions in terms of design and features, but will be priced more competitively to meet domestic market expectations.
Variants, Colour Options & Powertrain Details
At launch, Maruti Suzuki will offer the e Vitara in:
- Three variants
- Ten exterior colours, including dual-tone themes designed for added visual appeal
The electric SUV will be available with two battery pack options:
- 48.8kWh
- 61.6kWh
Both battery packs power a front-wheel-drive single-motor setup, tuned to deliver an ideal balance of efficiency, smoothness, and everyday performance. Maruti Suzuki claims a maximum driving range of up to 500km (MIDC) on a full charge, making the e Vitara one of the longest-range EVs in its expected price band.
The SUV will also support DC fast charging, enabling the battery to go from 0–80% in under an hour, depending on charger output.
Feature-Rich Flagship for Maruti Suzuki
The e Vitara is set to become Maruti Suzuki’s most advanced SUV yet, positioned above the Grand Vitara in terms of technology, safety, and features. Expected equipment highlights include:
- Large full-HD touchscreen infotainment system
- Level 2 ADAS, with adaptive cruise control, lane assist, and autonomous emergency braking
- Fully digital instrument cluster
- 360-degree camera with dynamic guidelines
- Ventilated front seats
- 10-way electrically adjustable driver seat
- Wireless charging
- SmartPlay Pro+ with connected-car technology
- Panoramic sunroof
- Multiple airbags, TPMS, and enhanced high-strength chassis
Maruti is presenting the e Vitara as a global flagship, showcasing the brand’s new focus on premium cabin design, advanced software, EV refinement, and modern safety features.
Market Expectations & Competitors
With its strong claimed range, attractive pricing strategy, and Maruti’s widespread sales network, the e Vitara is widely expected to become one of the best-selling EVs in India once deliveries commence.
It will go up against established and upcoming rivals such as:
- Tata Harrier EV
- Mahindra BE 6
- MG ZS EV
- Hyundai Creta EV
- Toyota’s upcoming electric SUV lineup
Given its blend of range, affordability, features, and brand trust, the e Vitara is set to play a major role in accelerating India’s transition toward mainstream electric mobility.
