Maruti Suzuki e Vitara To Officially Launch In India Tomorrow

GaadiWaadi -

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara will be available in two battery packs and will be sold through the premium Nexa dealerships

Maruti Suzuki’s long-awaited electric SUV is finally set to make its official entry into the Indian market tomorrow. While anticipation has been building for months, the interesting part is that the vehicle has already been in active production for quite some time. At the manufacturer’s Gujarat facility, export-spec units have been rolling off the assembly line for a few months already.

Before a single model was seen on Indian roads, the e Vitara had already begun its international journey. Large consignments were shipped from Pipavav Port to a wide range of European and other nations. Amid all this activity overseas, Maruti Suzuki expanded its domestic SUV strategy recently by bringing in the Victoris – a new midsize offering placed below the Grand Vitara in the lineup.

Back to the e Vitara, the brand’s first zero-emission offering in India, its sale will take place through the premium Nexa retail chain. Pricing is expected to slot in above the Rs. 17 lakh mark (ex-showroom), putting it right in the middle of an increasingly crowded EV space. To meet different user requirements, two LFP battery options will be available, both sourced from BYD.

A a 48.8 kWh pack and a larger 61.1 kWh unit with a claimed range of over 500 km on a single charge and it will also support DC fast charging. The smaller battery variant will be paired with an electric motor producing a peak output of 144 PS and 192.5 Nm while the more powerful version will use a 174 PS motor offering the same torque figure.

The DC fast charging capability enables the battery to go from zero to 80 per cent in roughly 50 minutes. It will lock horns with strong rivals including the Tata Curvv EV, Harrier EV, Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra’s XEV 9e and BE 6 along with the MG ZS EV and Windsor EV. Under the body, the e Vitara is built on the modular Heartect e platform.
