Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara launch timeline confirmed: What to expect

Maruti Suzuki’s highly anticipated electric SUV , the e-Vitara, will face another delay before it hits the roads. The carmaker has confirmed that the deliveries of the eSUV will commence by the end of September. However, customers in India may have to wait a little longer to see it in large numbers, as most of this year’s production is earmarked for export.

Maruti Suzuki is targeting around 70,000 units of the e-Vitara in the remaining months of the fiscal year, with the majority of them headed overseas.

Maruti e-Vitara: All you need to know
The e-Vitara marks Maruti’s first major electric vehicle foray and is based on a dedicated EV platform named Heartect-e. This new architecture has been engineered from the ground up for electric mobility. It also debuts Suzuki’s eAxle technology, which combines the motor and inverter into a single unit.

Dimensionally, the e-Vitara stands at 4,275 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, and 1,635 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,700 mm. It has a ground clearance of 180 mm and a kerb weight that goes up to 1,900 kg.


Design-wise, the SUV gets a closed-off grille flanked by tri-LED daytime running lamps, while the bumper borrows cues from the Brezza. There’s a functional look with details like a front-positioned charging port and flared rear wheel arches. Side profiles feature aerodynamic 18-inch alloy wheels and hidden rear door handles positioned on the C-pillar. At the back, the SUV features connected LED taillamps, an integrated roof spoiler, and skid plates for a sporty finish.

Inside, it gets a pair of floating digital screens—one each for infotainment and the instrument cluster—alongside a gloss black centre console housing the gear selector, drive mode switch, and a wireless charging pad. The SUV also includes a two-spoke steering wheel, leatherette seats, and brushed-silver highlights around rectangular AC vents. In terms of safety, it gets Level 2 ADAS and seven airbags.

The e-Vitara will be available with two battery packs : 49kWh and 61kWh. Both feature LFP blade cells sourced from BYD. The 49kWh variant uses a 144 hp front-mounted motor, while the 61kWh version bumps power to 174 hp, though both produce the same 189 Nm of torque. The top-spec version, with dual motors and all-wheel drive, offers 184 hp and 300 Nm.

The larger 61kWh battery promises a range of up to 500 km on a single charge, making the e-Vitara one of the most promising long-range EVs in its segment.
