The e-VITARA will offer two battery pack options: a 49kWh and a 61kWh variant, with the 61kWh pack providing a range exceeding 500 km.
Maruti Suzuki India Limited has unveiled its first Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), the e-Vitara, at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 in New Delhi.
Built on the new HEARTECT-e EV platform, the e-Vitara focuses on three key principles: superior strength and structural rigidity, a spacious cabin, and advanced high-voltage safety. Measuring 4,275mm in length with a 2,700mm wheelbase, 1,640mm in height, and 1,800mm in width, the e-Vitara features a flat floor design that enhances cabin space while accommodating a high-capacity battery pack.
The e-Vitara boasts a digital cockpit with a twin-deck floating console, a custom-designed steering wheel, a fixed-glass sunroof, soft-touch dual-tone materials, and multi-color ambient lighting.
The e-Vitara features a 25.65 cm (10.1-inch) digital display and a 26.04 cm (10.25-inch) multi-information display, providing seamless controls and detailed information. Wireless connectivity and a premium ‘Infinity by Harman’ sound system further elevate the in-car experience.
The e-Vitara provides ventilated front seats and a class-leading 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. Rear passengers enjoy a best-in-segment seating system with a 40:20:40 split configuration, reclining and sliding functionality, and convenient boot access. A rear seat armrest with a cupholder adds to the comfort and versatility for diverse travel needs.
The e-Vitara’s electric powertrain features an integrated 3-in-1 system combining the motor, inverter, and transmission. It offers two battery options, each with unique powertrain setups. The 49kWh battery drives a front-axle motor producing 144hp and 189Nm of torque, while the 61kWh battery powers a front motor delivering 174hp and 189Nm of torque.
The larger battery option also offers an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, incorporating a rear-mounted 65hp motor for a combined output of 184hp and 300Nm of torque. While Maruti has not revealed precise range figures, the larger battery is anticipated to deliver over 500 km.
Equipped with advanced Cell-To-Pack technology and an efficient thermal management system, the batteries ensure reliable performance in extreme temperatures from -30°C to 60°C, making them suitable for various environments.
The e-Vitara offers three driving modes—Eco, Normal, and Sport—along with a dedicated Snow mode for challenging terrains. A regenerative braking system enhances convenience, enabling a one-pedal driving experience.
To further improve efficiency, the e-Vitara features adaptive grille shutters that automatically adjust to driving conditions.
More than 50% of the e-Vitara’s structure is constructed using high-tensile steel, ensuring robust durability. The vehicle also features an advanced battery protection system.
With Level 2 ADAS, the e-Vitara offers a full suite of autonomous driving aids. Standard safety features include seven airbags (with a driver-side knee airbag), an electronic parking brake, all-disc brakes, e-Call functionality, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
