For years, Indian car buyers have asked one single question: “When is Maruti Suzuki launching an electric car?” The wait is finally over, and the undisputed king of Indian roads is ready to disrupt the EV market.
Maruti Suzuki’s highly anticipated first-ever electric SUV, the e Vitara, is making massive waves across the country. Built from scratch on a dedicated electric platform, this SUV is not just another petrol car with a battery stuffed inside.
With aggressive pricing rumors and a range that promises to eliminate “range anxiety” forever, the e Vitara is directly threatening the dominance of the Tata Nexon EV, Tata Curvv EV, and the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV. Here is why buyers are canceling their current EV bookings for this new Maruti masterpiece.

The “Mileage” Champion of EVs: 500+ KM Range Maruti Suzuki e Vitara
In India, mileage is everything. Maruti knows this perfectly, which is why the e Vitara comes packed with two battery options to suit different budgets: a 49 kWh and a massive 61 kWh battery pack.
Equipped with reliable ‘Blade Battery’ technology sourced from BYD, the top-spec e Vitara is expected to deliver a real-world range of over 500 kilometers on a single charge. Whether you are commuting in heavy Delhi traffic or taking a weekend trip from Mumbai to Pune, this SUV guarantees you won’t be desperately searching for charging stations.
Premium Interiors That Will Shock You
If you think Maruti cars have basic interiors, the e Vitara will completely change your mind. Stepping inside feels like entering a futuristic spaceship.
- Twin Floating Displays: The dashboard is dominated by a massive dual-screen setup (an infotainment system and a fully digital instrument cluster) seamlessly merged into one single glass panel.
- Rotary Gear Selector: The traditional gear lever is gone, replaced by a premium rotary dial that frees up a massive amount of storage space in the center console.
- Advanced ADAS: For the ultimate safety of your family, the e Vitara includes Level-2 ADAS features like automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.
The Secret Weapon: ALLGRIP-e AWD System
Here is where the e Vitara completely destroys its competition. While most EVs in this budget are standard front-wheel drive, the top variant of the e Vitara offers the ALLGRIP-e All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system.
It features two independent electric motors (one on each axle). If you love driving in the mountains, taking your SUV to the snow, or navigating muddy village roads, the e Vitara will handle it with zero struggle—a feature missing in the Tata Curvv EV and Nexon EV.
