Maruti Suzuki has officially introduced its first Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) SUV, the eVITARA, marking a significant leap toward sustainable mobility. Built on the all-new HEARTECT-e platform, the eVITARA is designed to deliver exceptional performance, efficiency, and safety, all while offering a premium driving experience. With a bold, masculine design inspired by the “Emotional Versatile Cruiser” concept, the eVITARA offers two battery options—49kWh and 61kWh—ensuring a driving range of over 500 km on a single charge.
A Futuristic Design Meets Premium Comfort
The eVITARA’s exterior reflects its dynamic SUV heritage, featuring aerodynamic R18 alloy wheels and cutting-edge Matrix LED DRLs with projector headlights. Inside, a digital cockpit integrates a 25.65 cm (10.1”) display, complemented by a 26.04 cm (10.25”) multi-information display, offering seamless connectivity and control. The premium interior includes ventilated front seats, a 10-way adjustable driver’s seat, a sliding and reclining rear seat, and a versatile 40:20:40 split rear configuration for superior flexibility.
Performance & Efficiency at the Core
Built for next-generation mobility, the eVITARA’s powertrain includes a highly efficient 3-in-1 system, combining motor, inverter, and transmission with a lithium-ion battery pack. Available in two configurations (49kWh and 61kWh), it ensures a driving range of over 500 km. The eVITARA is engineered for all conditions, tested in extreme climates from ‘Sand to Snow,’ offering excellent performance in temperatures ranging from -30°C to 60°C. The car also features multiple driving modes, including Eco, Normal, and Sports, along with a snow terrain mode for enhanced versatility.
Advanced Safety Features
The eVITARA comes equipped with a comprehensive safety suite, including Level 2 ADAS, seven airbags (including a driver-side knee airbag), and advanced structural protection with a robust energy-absorbing battery mounting system. Its HEARTECT-e platform, with over 50% high-tensile steel, ensures maximum safety, making the eVITARA a reliable and secure choice for modern drivers.
Connectivity & User Experience
Next-Gen Suzuki Connect introduces over 60 features, including remote vehicle controls and real-time updates, ensuring that eVITARA owners are always connected and in control. The “e for me” ecosystem includes smart home chargers with remote access, a plug-and-play DC fast-charging network at Maruti Suzuki dealerships, and the “e for me” app, providing easy access to charging stations, route planning, and more.
