The Platform That Powers the Future
Beneath its bold and futuristic exterior lies the HEARTECT-e platform, the backbone of the e-VITARA. Designed exclusively for electric vehicles, this state-of-the-art architecture represents a masterstroke of engineering. Built on three key pillars—exceptional strength, structural rigidity, and high-voltage protection—the platform not only enhances safety but also optimizes space and performance.
The SUV boasts a 2,700mm wheelbase, ensuring a roomy cabin, while its compact 5.2-meter turning radius makes it surprisingly nimble, even in city traffic. Thanks to a flat floor design, passengers enjoy superior comfort and flexibility while the high-capacity battery nestles seamlessly underneath, balancing weight and space without compromise.
Electrifying Performance That Delivers
The heart of the e-VITARA beats with a 3-in-1 electric powertrain system, integrating the motor, inverter, and transmission for maximum efficiency. Maruti Suzuki offers two battery options to suit varying needs:
- 61kWh: This larger battery delivers an impressive range of over 500 kilometers, as per in-house testing, making long-distance electric driving a reality.
- 49kWh: A smaller yet powerful option, ideal for urban commuters.
Designed for extremes, the e-VITARA’s advanced thermal management system ensures optimal performance in temperatures ranging from -30°C to 60°C. For every journey, drivers can choose between Eco, Normal, or Sports driving modes. A dedicated Snow mode adds versatility for those icy escapades, while adaptive grille shutters optimize aerodynamics to further enhance range efficiency.
Bold Design, Inside and Out
The e-VITARA isn’t just an SUV—it’s a design revolution. Its polyhedral styling combines boldness and functionality, signaling confidence and adventure at every angle.
Exterior Elegance Meets Aerodynamic Precision
A bold, masculine stance is accentuated by features like R18 aerodynamic alloy wheels and a futuristic front fascia with NEXTré 3-Point Matrix LED DRLs and LED projector headlamps. The sharp roof-end spoilers don’t just look dynamic—they contribute to improved efficiency by reducing drag.
Interior Sophistication Redefined
Step inside, and you’re welcomed by a “Digital Cockpit Experience” that embodies modern luxury. A twin-deck floating console houses a 25.65cm (10.1”) infotainment display and a 26.04cm (10.25”) multi-information display, presenting critical vehicle data with clarity and style.
The interiors feature soft-touch dual-tone materials, ambient multi-color lighting, and a fixed-glass sunroof, setting a tone of relaxed sophistication. Comfort is a priority, with ventilated front seats and a best-in-segment 10-way power-adjustable driver seat. In the rear, a 40:20:40 split seat configuration with sliding and reclining functionality ensures that passengers enjoy both space and flexibility, whether it’s for a family road trip or a cargo-heavy weekend.
Safety That’s a Step Ahead
The e-VITARA doesn’t just promise safety; it delivers it in spades. Built on the robust HEARTECT-e platform with over 50% high-tensile steel construction, this SUV is designed to protect.
Every e-VITARA comes equipped with seven airbags, including a driver-side knee airbag, and Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). This comprehensive suite includes features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and emergency braking, making every journey safer. Additional innovations like electronic parking brakes, all-disc brakes, and an energy-absorbing battery mounting structure highlight Maruti Suzuki’s commitment to safety.
Smart Connectivity, Smarter Ownership
Owning the e-VITARA isn’t just about driving—it’s about being connected. With Next-Gen Suzuki Connect, the SUV offers over 60 advanced features, including remote vehicle monitoring, real-time health diagnostics, and charging management. The accompanying mobile app lets you plan routes, locate chargers, and even book charging slots in advance.
Through the ‘e for me’ Electric Eco-Solutions, Maruti Suzuki has created an ecosystem that supports seamless EV ownership. From smart home chargers with customizable power settings to plug-and-play DC fast chargers at dealerships, charging is as easy as refueling. With plans to deploy a charging point every 5 to 10 kilometers in the top 100 cities, the infrastructure is set to match the SUV’s ambition.
A Color Palette to Match Every Style
The e-VITARA will be available in ten striking color options, each designed to complement its futuristic styling. These include:
- Arctic White
- Bluish Black
- Grandeur Grey
- Nexa Blue
- Opulent Red
- Splendid Silver
- Dual-tone combinations like Arctic White with Bluish Black Roof and the striking Land Breeze Green with Bluish Black Roof add a touch of individuality.
A Global Vision, Born in India
Maruti Suzuki’s e-VITARA is not just for India—it’s for the world. As part of the company’s “Make in India” initiative, the SUV will be manufactured domestically and exported to over 100 countries, including Japan and Europe. Designed to perform across diverse conditions, it has been rigorously tested in extreme environments, from scorching deserts to freezing snowfields.
The Road Ahead
Maruti Suzuki’s e-VITARA is more than just an electric SUV—it’s a statement of what’s possible when innovation, sustainability, and customer-centric design come together. Available through the premium NEXA channel, the e-VITARA with its bold looks, state-of-the-art technology, and seamless EV ecosystem, it is set to transform India’s automotive landscape.
As Maruti Suzuki embarks on this electrifying journey, the e-VITARA is a bold step into the future of mobility. For those ready to embrace the next generation of driving, the e-VITARA isn’t just a choice—it’s the future, delivered today.
