At the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 in New Delhi, Maruti Suzuki India Limited unveiled the e Vitara, the company’s first BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle).
The e Vitara is based on the recently developed HEARTECT-e EV platform. Soft-touch dual-tone materials, a freshly designed custom steering wheel, a fixed-glass sunroof, a twin-deck floating console, and multicolored ambient lighting are all aspects of the e Vitara’s digital cockpit.
The car has a 26.04 cm (10.25-inch) multi-information display and an integrated 25.65 cm (10.1-inch) digital display that provide extensive controls and information. The in-car experience is further improved by wireless connectivity and a high-end sound system from “Infinity by Harman.”
The e Vitara has a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat that leads its class and ventilated front seats. The best-in-class seating arrangement for backseat passengers includes a 40:20:40 split arrangement, sliding and reclining capabilities, and convenient boot access. A cup-holder-equipped rear seat armrest is one of the extra elements that guarantee comfort and adaptability for a range of travel requirements.
The motor, inverter, and transmission are all integrated into a 3-in-1 system that powers the e Vitara’s electric drivetrain. There are two battery alternatives available for the e-VITARA, each matched with a different powertrain setup. A front axle-mounted motor with 144 horsepower and 189 Nm of torque is powered by a 49kWh battery. In the meantime, a front electric motor that produces 174 horsepower and 189 Nm of torque is connected to the 61kWh battery.
In addition to a dedicated snow terrain mode, the e Vitara has three selectable modes: Eco, Normal, and Sport. The vehicle’s regenerative braking system allows for one-pedal driving for extra convenience.
The structure of e Vitara is composed of more than half high-tensile steel. Additionally, the car has a cutting-edge battery protection technology. With its Level 2 ADAS, the e-VITARA offers a full range of autonomous driving assistance. Seven standard airbags, including a driver-side knee airbag, all-disc brakes, an electronic parking brake, e-Call capabilities, and a tire pressure monitoring system are among the safety features.
