Maruti is all set to enter the electric vehicle segment in India, and the popular automaker will launch the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara as its first-ever electric offering! Maruti just released a teaser on social media through its premium “Nexa” account, which confirms that the e Vitara will be sold through Nexa outlets.
The teaser features a few external design elements as well as a glimpse of the lower centre console. We can also spot the “Snow mode” button next to the drive mode selector. With many enthusiasts taking their beloved cars up to the snowy mountain areas of the North, the snow mode might be handy! There is also a possibility of Maruti introducing the AWD variant to India, making the SUV even more capable in the above-mentioned conditions.
Here’s what to expect from the e Vitara:
The Design
The e Vitara has a modern and bold design language that includes aggressive styling features. The fascia boasts dramatic LED headlights with three-piece DRLs and a blacked-out bumper that houses the fog lamps. You also get a silver skid plate, which adds to the ruggedness.
The profile includes 18-inch alloy wheels (or 19-inch wheels on the AWD variant), unique C-pillar-mounted rear door handles, and body cladding. The back has sleek LED tail lights, a shark fin antenna, and a roof-mounted spoiler.
Interior And Features
Maruti’s first electric SUV will include an integrated dual-screen configuration. It is also expected to include automated air conditioning, ventilated front seats, and a wireless phone charger.
The cabin’s interior has a fresh look with a dual-tone concept and vertically placed AC vents. You get two displays, one for infotainment and one for the drivers. The two-spoke steering wheel provides a sporty touch to the interior. This steering wheel has not yet been seen on a Maruti Suzuki vehicle in India.
In terms of highlights, it will include a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay, as well as a fully digital driver display. Its safety features include six airbags (standard), a 360-degree camera, an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), and an automatic parking brake.

Maruti is likely to provide the India-spec e Vitara with the same powertrain options as the global-spec electric SUV. Here’s a detailed look at the specifications:

| Drivetrain | FWD | FWD | AWD |
