Initially previewed as the eVX concept at Auto Expo 2023 and later unveiled in production form at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, the upcoming electric SUV is built on the new HEARTECT-e platform made specifically for EVs. This employs a flat floor design for more cabin space, a reinforced high-voltage safety structure, and compact overhangs for better efficiency and cabin packaging. The e Vitara will launch in India on December 2, 2025, to take its place among the most important EVs for India. With its launch right around the corner, here is everything you need to know about Maruti’s first EV:

The e Vitara will come with two battery pack options: 49 kWh and 61 kWh. The 49 kWh variant will be a 2WD model, with a single eAxle motor making 142 bhp and 189 Nm. The larger 61 kWh battery can be had in both 2WD and 4WD models. The 2WD version delivers 172 bhp and 189 Nm, while the 4WD version pushes torque output to 300 Nm thanks to dual eAxles. The 61 kWh variant claims a driving range of up to 500 km, while official range figures for the smaller battery are yet to be revealed.
The e Vitara’s 4WD variant with the 61 kWh battery will debut Maruti Suzuki’s ALLGRIP-e electric all-wheel drive system in India. This system employs an independent motor on each axle and offers a Trail Mode to increase traction through selective braking and torque distribution. This will position the e Vitara as the only EV in its category to offer electric 4WD with a dedicated off-road mode.

This supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, alongside Suzuki Connect. Further features include ventilated seats, wireless phone charging, automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, and an EPB with auto hold.
