Maruti Suzuki eVitara Launched in India
Maruti Suzuki has launched its first electric car, the eVitara, which is made in India and comes with two battery options.
The car is designed to be comfortable and practical for families, with a roomy cabin and good visibility.
It has a decent driving range and is expected to be priced lower than its competitors.
The eVitara also comes with a large charging network and an assured buyback programme, making it a good option for those transitioning from petrol or diesel cars to electric vehicles.
The car is set to be delivered in January 2026.
Maruti Suzuki's eVitara is a born-electric car developed in collaboration with Toyota, featuring two battery pack options (49 kWh and 61 kWh).
The eVitara has a muscular design with a longer wheelbase, resulting in a roomier cabin, but it lacks a frunk and has limited boot space.
The car is designed for comfort and practicality, with a focus on a smooth and stable driving experience, though it lacks sporty appeal.
Expected to be priced competitively, the eVitara will come with India's largest charging network and an assured buyback programme.
Deliveries are expected to begin in January 2026, with the 49-kWh variant potentially starting under Rs 15 lakh.
