Maruti Suzuki is stepping into new territory with the e-Vitara, its first fully electric vehicle—a bold outlook on the future.

The Bold New Look and Design

With a rugged, slightly bemused expression, the e-Vitara strikes a familiar chord with fans of Maruti Suzuki’s classic SUVs, while embracing modern aesthetics. Its chunky design includes:

• Flared wheel arches for a powerful stance
• Sharp creases and muscular lines that give it a sporty look
• Distinctive light signature that combines form and function, adding to its charismatic presence

While this e-Vitara won’t be a convertible, its design echoes the spirit of adventure that Maruti SUVs are known for.

Power and Performance Options

The e-Vitara offers two battery choices and multiple power configurations to cater to different driving needs and terrains:

1. 49kWh Battery (2WD)
   • Motor Power: 106kW
   • Perfect for urban and suburban environments
   • Emphasis on energy efficiency with a solid range for city driving
2. 61kWh Battery
   • 2WD Motor Power: 128kW
   • 4WD Motor Power (Twin Motor): 135kW, featuring a unique ‘Trail’ mode for off-road enthusiasts

Both options provide ample power and flexibility, ensuring that the e-Vitara can handle everything from city commutes to rougher trails with ease. The inclusion of a ‘Trail’ mode in the 4WD variant highlights Maruti's commitment to making an EV that doesn’t compromise on performance.
