India’s biggest carmaker Maruti Suzuki is all set to enter the electric vehicle segment with its first EV – the e Vitara. Expected to launch around September 2025, this all-electric SUV promises a range of over 500 kilometers on a single charge and will be sold through Nexa dealerships across the country.
Futuristic Design with Strong Safety
The e Vitara is built on a brand-new electric platform called Heartect e-Skateboard, specially designed for EVs. The body structure includes high-tensile steel, offering enhanced crash protection and overall strength. The SUV also gets a stylish yet aerodynamic design, helping improve performance and range.
Premium Features Loaded in All Variants
From design to comfort and safety, Maruti’s electric SUV will offer a host of premium features, especially in the top variants. Key highlights include:
- Panoramic sunroof
- 360-degree surround-view camera
- 6 airbags for complete protection
- Front ventilated seats
- Large touchscreen infotainment system
- Digital instrument cluster
- 18-inch alloy wheels
- Level 2 ADAS safety features
These modern features are expected to attract tech-savvy and safety-conscious buyers looking for a reliable EV option.
Battery Options and Fast Charging
Maruti Suzuki will offer the e Vitara in two battery choices:
- 48.8 kWh battery (standard range)
- 61.1 kWh battery (long range with 500+ km)
The smaller battery will be available only in the base variant (Delta), while the larger one will be offered in Zeta and Alpha trims. This gives customers flexibility to choose according to their driving range and budget.
For added convenience, the SUV will support fast charging, taking the battery from 0 to 80% in just 50 minutes using a DC fast charger.
Drive and Powertrain
While the international model may feature all-wheel-drive, the Indian version will most likely come with a front-wheel-drive layout, optimized for efficiency and affordability in Indian conditions.

Maruti is offering a wide variety of single-tone and dual-tone colour options for the e Vitara:
Single-tone shades:
- Opulent Red

- Arctic White
- Grandeur Grey
- Splendid Silver

Dual-tone options (with contrasting Bluish Black roof):
