Maruti Suzuki has officially unveiled the complete pricing for the e Vitara, its first-ever electric SUV — and India’s most anticipated EV launch of the year. Priced from Rs 15.99 lakh to Rs 20.01 lakh (ex-showroom), the e Vitara enters a rapidly growing midsize electric SUV segment with a range of up to 543 km and two battery options.
Here’s a complete breakdown of variants, pricing, range, and how it stacks up against rivals.
Maruti e Vitara Variant-Wise Price List (Ex-Showroom)
| Variant | Ex-Showroom Price | BaaS Price |
|---|---|---|
| Delta (49 kWh) | Rs 15.99 lakh | Rs 10.99 lakh + Rs 3.99/km |
| Zeta (61 kWh) | Rs 17.49 lakh | Rs 11.99 lakh + Rs 4.39/km |
| Alpha (61 kWh) | Rs 19.79 lakh | Rs 14.29 lakh + Rs 4.39/km |
| Alpha Dual-Tone (61 kWh) | Rs 20.01 lakh | Rs 14.51 lakh + Rs 4.39/km |
The entry-level Delta trim is exclusively available with the 49 kWh battery pack, while the Zeta and Alpha trims come fitted with the larger 61 kWh unit.
What Is BaaS (Battery-as-a-Service)?
The e Vitara can be purchased through a Battery-as-a-Service model, where buyers pay a significantly reduced upfront price and are charged a per-kilometre rental for battery usage. The rental rate is Rs 3.99/km for the 49 kWh pack and Rs 4.39/km for the 61 kWh pack.
This model lowers the initial investment barrier and may appeal to buyers who want to spread out the effective cost of the battery over time.
Battery Options, Range, and Performance
The e Vitara comes with two powertrain configurations:
49 kWh Battery (Delta)
- Power output: 144 hp
- Torque: 189 Nm
- ARAI-certified range: 440 km
- Charging time (10–80%, 7.4 kW AC): ~6.5 hours
- Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive
61 kWh Battery (Zeta, Alpha)
- Power output: 174 hp
- Torque: 189 Nm
- ARAI-certified range: 543 km
- Charging time (10–80%, 7.4 kW AC): ~9 hours
- Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive
Maruti is bundling a complimentary 7.4 kW AC home charger with free installation across all variants.

- Vehicle warranty: 3 years (standard); 5 years with optional extended coverage
- Assured buyback programme:
- 60% buyback value on the 3-year / 45,000 km plan
- 50% buyback value on the 4-year / 60,000 km plan
Delivery Timeline: When Will You Get Your e Vitara?
While Maruti has already begun deliveries, waiting periods are expected to remain elevated through at least July 2025. The constraint stems from the fact that India — specifically Maruti’s Gujarat plant — is the sole global manufacturing hub for the e Vitara. The same facility also produces high-demand models like the Fronx, limiting available capacity.
Maruti says it is actively managing the balance between domestic fulfilment and export commitments. Buyers should expect delivery timelines to ease in the second half of 2025 as production scales up.
Maruti e Vitara vs Competitors: How Does It Compare?
| Model | Price Range (Ex-Showroom) |
|---|---|
| MG Windsor | Rs 14.00 – Rs 18.50 lakh |
| VinFast VF6 | Rs 17.29 – Rs 19.19 lakh |
| Maruti e Vitara | Rs 15.99 – Rs 20.01 lakh |
| Hyundai Creta Electric | Rs 18.02 – Rs 24.70 lakh |
| Mahindra BE 6 | Rs 18.90 – Rs 27.65 lakh |
The e Vitara sits in the middle of the pack price-wise. It undercuts the Hyundai Creta Electric and Mahindra BE 6 but is priced above the MG Windsor and VinFast VF6. Given Maruti’s extensive service network and brand trust, the e Vitara remains a compelling proposition, even if it doesn’t drastically undercut the segment as some had hoped.
Should You Buy the Maruti e Vitara?
The e Vitara makes a strong case for buyers who want a reliable EV backed by India’s largest automaker. The 543 km claimed range on the 61 kWh variant, a flexible BaaS option, and a reassuring 8-year battery warranty add real value to the package. The main deterrent in the short term is limited availability — but that is expected to resolve by the second half of 2025.
For those who can wait, the e Vitara could well be one of the most well-rounded electric SUVs in its price band.
