The carmaker has announced that its first all-electric SUV, e-Vitara, will be launched in India on 2 December 2025.
What is e-Vitara
-
e-Vitara is Maruti Suzuki’s maiden electric vehicle, a compact/mid-size SUV built on a dedicated electric platform.
-
It’s offered with two battery-pack options: a 49 kWh battery and a 61 kWh battery.
-
The 61 kWh version promises a claimed driving range of up to 500 km on a single charge, making it one of the longest-range EVs in its segment.
Features & Comfort
-
The interior aims to be premium by the manufacturer’s standards: it includes a dual-screen setup (digital instrument cluster + infotainment), ventilated front seats, automatic climate control, a sunroof, wireless phone charging, and a modern cabin layout.
-
For convenience and safety, the e-Vitara will come with advanced features such as Level-2 ADAS including lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, emergency braking etc. It will also have a robust safety structure with multiple airbags, disc brakes, tyre-pressure monitoring, and battery safety systems.
Power & Performance Options
-
The base 49 kWh battery (most likely 2-wheel drive) is meant for city and daily use. The 61 kWh battery available as 2WD and possibly 4WD (depending on variant) gives higher power output and long-range potential.
-
Maruti aims to support e-Vitara buyers with a full EV ecosystem: home-charging solutions, fast-charging network at dealerships, and a wide service network for maintenance support.
Why This Launch Matters
-
This marks a major step for Maruti Suzuki, a brand long known for petrol/diesel cars entering the EV (electric vehicle) segment in a big way.
-
With rising demand for clean mobility and electric vehicles in India, e-Vitara could become a popular choice for buyers looking for a practical, electric SUV with good range and modern features.
-
The expected competitive pricing (in the mid-SUV EV segment) combined with the brand’s widespread service network may make EV adoption easier for many people.
