Maruti Suzuki is set to introduce the e Vitara around March 2025 with official bookings to open in the next few weeks
Maruti Suzuki unveiled the e Vitara for the Indian market at 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo last month and it will go on sale sometime around March. Built on the e-Heartect platform, this midsize electric SUV will be offered in three variants namely Delta, Zeta, and Alpha a typical naming structure for Maruti Suzuki cars. Buyers will have a choice of ten colour options including six single-tone shades and four dual-tone combinations.
Built using more than 50 per cent high-tensile steel, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara is said to ensure a strong and rigid structure. Its 2,700 mm wheelbase, combined with short overhangs, contributes to a well-balanced stance while also allowing for a tight turning radius of just 5.2 metres, enhancing manoeuvrability in urban settings.
The e Vitara is set to compete against the Hyundai Creta Electric, Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra XUV400, MG ZS EV, and Mahindra BE 6. Inside, the cabin sports a dual-tone theme, complemented by vertically aligned AC vents. The door armrests are designed using breathable Melange Fabric. A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system serve as the focal points of the interior.
