Maruti Suzuki has officially stepped into India’s electric vehicle space with the launch of the e-Vitara, marking a major milestone for the country’s largest carmaker. Unveiled on December 2, 2025, the e-Vitara is Maruti’s first all-electric SUV and signals the brand’s long-term commitment to electric mobility in India. While bookings opened around the time of launch, customer deliveries and wider availability are set to begin in early 2026.
The e-Vitara has been developed with mass-market buyers in mind, offering a practical balance of range, performance, and usability. It comes with two battery options — 49kWh and 61kWh, giving customers the flexibility to choose based on their driving needs. Maruti Suzuki is aiming for a competitive real-world range, positioning the e-Vitara as a viable everyday EV rather than just a city-focused alternative.
To support its first electric SUV, Maruti is also focusing heavily on the charging ecosystem. The company plans to leverage its wide dealership and service network to offer accessible charging solutions, helping reduce range anxiety for first-time EV buyers. Fast-charging support and growing public charging infrastructure are expected to play a key role in the e-Vitara’s adoption.
Safety is another area where Maruti is placing strong emphasis. The e-Vitara is being developed to meet high safety standards, with the company highlighting robust structural integrity and modern safety systems as part of the package. This focus is aimed at building confidence among buyers transitioning from petrol or diesel vehicles to electric power.
With the e-Vitara, Maruti Suzuki is not just launching a new model but entering a new chapter. Given the brand’s strong reach, trust, and understanding of Indian consumers, the e-Vitara could play a crucial role in accelerating EV adoption across the country. As deliveries begin in 2026, all eyes will be on how Maruti’s first electric SUV reshapes the competitive EV landscape in India.
