Maruti Suzuki e Vitara will likely be sold in two battery configurations in India, just like the global model
Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) has today released the first teaser image of its first-ever electric vehicle for the domestic market. It is nothing but the e Vitara released in Milan just over a month and a half ago. The largest car producer in the country has confirmed that the five-seater midsize electric SUV will make its local debut at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.
The motoring show is scheduled between January 17 and 22, 2025 across Delhi NCR. The e Vitara is constructed on the Heartect-e born electric skateboard architecture and it will go on sale in the months following its domestic premiere in India. It will be rolled out of Suzuki Motor Corporation’s production facility in Gujarat and will spawn a Toyota sibling as well.
Commenting on the announcement, Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing & Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “The e VITARA is a testament of our unwavering commitment to sustainable mobility and technological innovation. With decades of automotive expertise, we have combined advanced electric technology with a customer-first approach to deliver something truly transformative.”
