Maruti Suzuki’s long-awaited leap into the electric vehicle (EV) space is finally happening, and the e Vitara is leading the charge. After making its debut at the Bharat Mobility Expo in January 2025, the e Vitara is now all set for a market launch next month. The company has already opened pre-bookings, and things are looking quite promising for this all-electric SUV.
Launch
The timing couldn’t be better. With EV adoption gaining momentum in India, Maruti Suzuki is stepping into the game with a well-rounded product. The e Vitara will be offered in three trims — Delta, Zeta, and Alpha — and two battery pack options. The goal is clear: appeal to early EV adopters while keeping things practical and affordable for the average Indian buyer.
Strategy
Maruti isn’t just tossing another EV into the market. They’re following a smart top-down approach, starting with a premium offering to build brand trust and desirability. Once the e Vitara proves itself, expect smaller, more budget-friendly EVs to follow. It’s a well-thought-out plan, and with Maruti’s reputation for value-for-money cars and solid after-sales service, this strategy could very well pay off.
Features
Maruti’s playing big on features with the e Vitara, and it shows. This is the most tech-loaded model from the brand so far. For the first time ever, Maruti is offering Level 2 ADAS — that’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, which includes features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and auto emergency braking.
That’s not all. The SUV also packs a fully digital instrument cluster, wireless charger, panoramic glass roof, ventilated seats, ambient lighting, powered driver seat, 360-degree camera, and even an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. It’s clear Maruti is not cutting corners here.
Variants
All three variants of the e Vitara — Delta, Zeta, and Alpha — come with front-wheel drive. Where they differ is in the battery department. Check out the table below for a quick comparison:
| Variant | Battery Capacity | Charging (AC/DC) | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delta | 48.8 kWh | 7kW / 70kW | Basic ADAS, LED lamps |
| Zeta | 61.1 kWh | 7kW / 70kW | Panoramic roof, digital cluster |
| Alpha | 61.1 kWh | 7kW / 70kW | Full features, ventilated seats |
Whether you go for the base Delta or the top-end Alpha, every variant gets fast charging support — 7kW for AC and 70kW for DC. That means shorter charging times and more convenience, especially for city dwellers or road trip lovers.
Safety
Safety’s another strong area for the e Vitara. Maruti is equipping all variants with seven airbags as standard. Add to that the high-strength body structure, electronic stability control, and ADAS features, and you’ve got a car that doesn’t just look modern but is also well-prepared for today’s traffic chaos.
Comfort
What’s an SUV without comfort, right? Maruti’s thought this through. The rear seats come with sliding and recline functionality, which is a rarity even in some premium models. The cabin’s loaded with automatic climate control, ambient lights, and premium materials that give it a feel-good factor, whether you’re driving or lounging in the backseat.
The e Vitara might just become the go-to EV for Indian families looking to make that switch from petrol or diesel, without compromising on space, features, or peace of mind. With a solid feature list, practical charging setup, and Maruti’s wide service network, it could hit that sweet spot between value and desirability.
