The Indian automobile market, which was till now resonating with the sound of petrol and diesel, is now entering a new era. This is the era of electric vehicles, and Maruti Suzuki, which has been the king till now, does not want to be left behind in this change.
Maruti is ready to enter the fray with its first electric SUV, the Maruti eVitara, which is going to be launched in September 2025.
This is not just a new vehicle but a historic start for Maruti in the electric segment. Its aim is not just to take market share but also to make a strong hold in the EV segment with its trusted name.
Overview of Maruti eVitara
It is clear from the name of the car that Maruti will launch it as its flagship model. The eVitara will directly compete with cars like the Hyundai Creta EV, the MG ZS EV, and the Mahindra BE 6.
The company will bring it in two powerful battery pack options: one 49 kWh and the other 61 kWh.
Both these variants are expected to provide an excellent range of up to 500 kilometers, so whether it is the hustle and bustle of the city or a long vacation, this car will never disappoint you.
Design and look
Maruti has made the eVitara not only electric but also looking like the car of the future. Its bold and modern design makes it stand out from other SUVs.
Its front has sleek LED headlights and a distinctive grille, while the aerodynamic lines on its body give it a sporty and attractive look.

For the Indian market, this car will come in a front-wheel-drive (FWD) configuration, although an all-wheel-drive (AWD) option may also be available in international markets.

But Maruti’s large dealership network and decades-old trust make it a strong contender.
