Scheduled to debut at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 on January 17, this highly anticipated EV is based on the eVX concept unveiled at the Auto Expo 2023. With its launch slated for March 2025, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara aims to set new benchmarks in the electric vehicle market.

Performance and Battery Options

Underpinned by Maruti Suzuki’s Heartect-e platform, the e Vitara offers a flat floor to house its battery packs. The EV will likely feature two battery options:

• 49 kWh battery pack for entry-level trims, optimized for affordability and efficiency.
• 61 kWh battery pack for higher trims, offering better range and an AWD drivetrain. Expected to offer an impressive range of 500+ kms/charge.

This setup promises impressive performance, taking on rivals like the Mahindra BE 6 and MG ZS EV.

Charging Ecosystem and Sustainability Goals

Maruti Suzuki is not just launching a vehicle but a whole ecosystem. The brand plans to establish a robust charging network with home chargers and fast chargers at dealerships nationwide. This initiative aims to overcome one of the biggest hurdles in EV adoption—accessible charging infrastructure.
