Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, the country’s largest automobile manufacturer, is set to make its long-awaited debut in the electric vehicle segment with the launch of its first all-electric SUV—the e-Vitara—on December 2, 2025. This marks a major milestone in Maruti Suzuki’s electrification journey and India’s growing transition toward sustainable mobility.
The upcoming e-Vitara is expected to be built on the brand’s dedicated Heartect-e electric vehicle platform, designed specifically for next-generation battery electric vehicles (BEVs). This architecture underpins Maruti Suzuki’s global EV strategy and ensures enhanced efficiency, performance, and safety standards tailored for Indian conditions.
Dual Battery Options and Impressive Range
The Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara will reportedly feature two advanced options for lithium-ion battery packs — 49 kWh and 61 kWh — catering to diverse customer needs. The top-spec variant is anticipated to deliver an impressive driving range exceeding 500 km on a single charge, addressing one of the most critical concerns of EV buyers: range anxiety.
The model is being manufactured at Maruti Suzuki’s Hansalpur facility in Gujarat, which also serves as a major export hub for the brand’s global EV operations. The e-Vitara is already being shipped to select European markets, and the India-specific variant will have locally optimised features and components to ensure competitive pricing and superior value.
Expected Pricing and Market Positioning
The e-Vitara is expected to start at around ₹18 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant, positioning it strategically against rivals such as the Hyundai Creta EV, Tata Curvv.ev, MG ZS EV, and Mahindra XUV400. With its combination of long range, premium build quality, and Maruti Suzuki’s extensive service network, the e-Vitara is likely to become one of the most anticipated EV launches of the year.
Paving the Way for an Electric Future
This launch is a part of Maruti Suzuki’s larger strategy to electrify its portfolio and contribute to India’s sustainable transportation goals. The company aims to progressively localise EV components and battery manufacturing, reducing dependency on imports and enhancing affordability for Indian consumers.
Industry experts believe that Maruti Suzuki’s entry into the EV space could accelerate mass EV adoption in India, given the company’s market reach, customer trust, and production capabilities. The e-Vitara’s launch is expected to set new benchmarks in performance, practicality, and reliability within the mid-size electric SUV category.
What to Expect Next
Ahead of its official debut on December 2, 2025, Maruti Suzuki is expected to release detailed specifications, variant features, and pre-booking dates. More information about the EV’s charging ecosystem — including fast-charging capabilities and home-charging solutions — will likely be revealed at launch.
With the e-Vitara, Maruti Suzuki aims not only to electrify its lineup but also to redefine India’s electric mobility landscape, combining innovation with the brand’s long-standing promise of affordability, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
