[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.]
Maruti Suzuki has commenced production of the Maruti e Vitara, at its Hansalpur plant in Gujarat, where Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off its unit. The e Vitara was last showcased at the Auto Expo 2025 and since then, it is awaiting its launch. Now that its production has commenced, we can expect it to be launched soon. If you are interested in Maruti’s first take on an EV, here's everything you need to know about it:
Maruti e Vitara Overview
The e Vitara sports a fairly modern and rugged design with LED projector headlights, Y-shaped DRLs, wraparound LED taillights and 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.
Inside, the e Vitara gets a dual-tone black and tan cabin with a layered dashboard and semi-leatherette seat upholstery matching the interior theme. The key features we’re about to get in the e Vitara are a floating 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment, a 10.1-inch digital driver’s display, a fixed glass roof, an Infinity sound system, ventilated front seats, a 10-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat, ambient lighting, and a PM2.5 air filter.
As for safety, it will be the first Maruti car to get a Level-2 advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) suite. Other features would include up to 7 airbags, a 360-degree camera, an electronic parking brake, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and front and rear parking sensors.
