Maruti e Vitara India Launch Tomorrow: Top 5 Things You Need To Know
While it may carry the “Vitara” moniker, it is a ground up product and not just an electric version of the Grand Vitara
[Update: The Maruti e Vitara’s full prices have been revealed by dealership sources. It ranges from Rs 15.99 lakh to Rs 20.01 lakh.]
The biggest car manufacturer in India is finally getting on the electric bandwagon with the launch of its first EV – the Maruti e Vitara. This electric SUV, which made its debut at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo, has been in the works for a long time and will finally be launched in India tomorrow. Note: Maruti has now revealed the India-spec e Vitara!
If you had your eyes set on the e Vitara, then you should know these 5 things about the electric SUV before it is launched:
Maruti e Vitara: Exterior
A lot of people might think it is the electric Grand Vitara due to its name, but that is not the case. This is a ground up EV and that can be seen by its different design. The e Vitara looks like a rugged SUV, which is evident by its chunky bumper, but it also carries a lot of modern design elements like its sleek Y-shaped LED DRLs, sharp headlamps, and a lot of cuts and creases.
In profile, you get chunky wheel arches and thick door cladding, both of which highlight its tough nature. You also get 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels with an aerodynamic design.
The rear, just like the front, also gets a rugged-looking bumper and there are wraparound LED tail lamps with a similar Y-shaped insignia as the DRLs.
Maruti e Vitara: Interior
Inside, it gets a new dashboard design which we have not seen in any Maruti car till date. The cabin gets a dual-tone theme where both the dashboard and the seats are finished in a dual-tone black and tan hue.
You get a new two-spoke steering wheel design, a lot of gloss black inserts, semi-leatherette seat upholstery, and a dual screen setup.
Maruti e Vitara: Features And Safety
The e Vitara will come with a dual screen setup that has a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 10.1-inch digital driver’s display. It will also come with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay along with an Infinity sound system.
Other features will include a panoramic glass roof, a 10-way electrically adjustable driver seat, a wireless phone charger, ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, electrically adjustable and foldable ORVMs, and a PM2.5 cabin air filter.
On the safety front, the Maruti e Vitara will come with up to 7 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), front and rear parking sensors, an electronic parking brake with auto hold, and a 360-degree camera. The e Vitara also has a 4 star safety rating in the Euro NCAP crash tests.
It will also feature Level-2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) tech like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, high beam assist, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot alert, and autonomous emergency braking.
