Maruti Suzuki E Vitara Could Debut On Sept 3: Design, Specs, Range, Price
Thanks to numerous new entrants, the electric car space is heated with all the buzz and excitement. Surprisingly, the country's largest carmaker has stayed away from this business domain. However, it has now announced to launch a new car on September 3, which we expect to be the Maruti Suzuki E Vitara. The all-electric SUV made its first public showcase in the country at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. While the carmaker has not yet confirmed if it's the E Vitara, rumours have it that Maruti Suzuki could also be planning to launch a flagship SUV under its Arena retail channel. Talking of the Maruti Suzuki E Vitara, as the company earlier said that the Escudo (flagship Arena SUV) will come at a later stage - the electric SUV will rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE 6, MG ZS EV and more. The Indian spec Suzuki E Vitara will come with two battery pack options: 49 kWh and 61 kWh (as offered in the UK). The smaller battery pack will offer a WLTP range of 346 km, while the bigger battery pack is rated to offer 428 km of range in its single-motor configuration. Meanwhile, the dual-motor variant with the 61 kWh battery pack will offer 412 km of range.
