It’s official—Maruti Suzuki is finally entering the electric game. After months of speculation and delays, the company has confirmed that the e Vitara, its very first electric SUV, will launch in India on December 2, 2025. This EV isn’t just a new model—it’s the start of Maruti’s serious foray into electric vehicles.
Let’s break down everything you need to know before it hits the streets.
Launch
Mark your calendars—December 2, 2025, is when we’ll finally see the pricing reveal for the e Vitara. This is Maruti’s first electric vehicle (EV), and it’s a big deal. Not just for the brand, but for the entire Indian market, which is still warming up to mainstream electric offerings.
Before Indian customers even get their hands on it, Maruti already began production at its Gujarat facility. The first batch of 6,000 units has already been exported to Europe and the UK, giving the model some international momentum before the domestic rollout.
Variants
The e Vitara will be available in three variants, though full details about each are expected to be revealed at launch. What we do know is that it’ll offer buyers 10 colour options, giving some room for personalization.
Expect the base variant to focus on affordability, the mid-tier trim to balance features and price, and the top-spec version to go all out on tech and comfort.
Battery
Let’s talk juice. The e Vitara will come with two battery pack options:
| Battery Pack | Capacity | Range (Claimed) | Charging (DC Fast) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 48.8 kWh | ~500 km | 0-80% in 50 mins |
| Long Range | 61.1 kWh | ~500 km | 0-80% in 50 mins |
Yes, both batteries claim around 500 km of range, which is impressive. That’s Hyundai Kona or MG ZS EV territory, but in a more budget-friendly Maruti package. Power goes to the front wheels (FWD) via a single electric motor.
This isn’t a dual-motor AWD monster, but it’s built for efficiency, not drag races.
Features
This is where the e Vitara shines. Maruti is packing this SUV with tech we rarely see in their traditional models. Here are the top features you can expect:
- Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
- 360-degree camera
- Ventilated front seats
- Electric sunroof
- LED projector headlamps
- Drive modes
- Suzuki Connect connected car tech
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- 10-way electric driver seat
- Seven airbags
In short, it’s loaded. This is a far cry from the basic interiors we once saw in Maruti’s entry-level cars.
Strategy
The e Vitara is just the first of four battery electric vehicles (BEVs) planned by Maruti by 2030. The company is clearly playing the long game here, rolling out its EV lineup slowly but surely. Its global-first approach—exporting before local deliveries—suggests a product built to meet international standards.
By pricing the e Vitara smartly and ensuring it’s packed with features, Maruti is clearly aiming to bring EVs to the mass market. And if they play their cards right, this could become the EV that changes India’s perception of electric driving.
The countdown has officially begun. With a launch date set for December 2, 2025, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara is gearing up to electrify the Indian SUV space. From long-range capability to premium features and a globally-tested platform, it’s shaping up to be one of the most significant car launches of the year. Whether you’re a daily commuter or an early EV adopter, this is one launch you’ll want to keep your eyes on.
