New Delhi: The upcoming Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara marks the manufacturer’s entry into the Indian EV space as its first battery electric model. Initially previewed as the eVX concept at the Auto Expo 2023 and later unveiled in production form at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, the upcoming electric SUV is built on the latest HEARTECT-e platform explicitly made for EVs. This employs a flat floor design for the more cabin space, a reinforced high-voltage safety structure, and compact overhangs for better efficiency and cabin packaging. The e-Vitara will launch in India on December 2, 2025, to take its place among the most essential EVs for India, with its launch right around the corner.
The Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara’s price is expected to range between Rs 17 lakh and Rs 22 lakh ex-showroom. The official pricing will be announced at the launch event, scheduled to take place on December 2, 2025. Deliveries are now expected to begin shortly after the launch event, putting it among the most essential EV launches of the year. The e Vitara will come with two battery pack options, which include: 49 kWh and 61 kWh. The 49 kWh variant will be a 2WD model, with the single eAxle motor making 142 bhp and 189 Nm. The larger 61 kWh battery can be had in both 2WD and 4WD models.
The 2WD version delivers 172 bhp and 189 Nm, while the 4WD version pushes torque output to 300 Nm thanks to dual eAxles. The 61kWh variant claims a driving range of up to 500km, while official range figures for the smaller battery are yet to be revealed. The e Vitara’s 4WD version with the 61 kWh battery will debut Maruti Suzuki’s ALLGRIP-e electric all-wheel drive system in India. This system employs an independent motor on each axle and offers a Trail Mode to increase traction through selective braking and torque distribution. This will position the e-Vitara as the only EV in its category to provide electric 4WD with the dedicated off-road mode.
Stepping inside reveals a newly designed cabin with squared off air vents, a two-spoke steering wheel and a dual screen interface that combines a 10.1-inch infotainment with the digital cluster. This supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, alongside Suzuki Connect. Further features include ventilated seats, wireless phone charging, automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, and an EPB with auto hold. The e-Vitara is the first Maruti Suzuki model in India to offer Level-2 ADAS, including features such as lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, and emergency braking, among others. The larger safety suite comprises seven airbags, ABS with EDB, ESC, and parking sensors at both ends.
