Performance and Driving Expectations

192.5 Nm of torque
Tested in snow and hot weather conditions
Suitable for all-weather driving
FWD layout for easier urban use
Expected Price Range
Maruti Suzuki will reveal the official pricing on 2 December 2025, but early estimates suggest that the e Vitara should start around Rs 20 lakh and go up to Rs 25 lakh (ex-showroom). This places it in the same space where the Tata Nexon EV ends and the MG ZS EV begins, which means Maruti is aiming right at the heart of the mainstream electric SUV segment.
Verdict
The e Vitara feels like a very important step for Maruti. The long claimed range of over 500 km, the choice of two battery packs, and the overall cabin quality give it a strong foundation. The rear seat flexibility, the smooth electric drive setup and the addition of Level 2 ADAS with seven airbags also make it look far more mature than Maruti’s earlier cars.
There are a few things that may not please everyone, like the fixed sunroof and the uncertainty around the spare wheel, but the package as a whole comes across as well thought out. For buyers waiting for a practical and familiar electric SUV from a trusted brand, the e Vitara seems prepared to deliver exactly that.
