Maruti e Vitara Unveiled With 550km Range and AWD: Full Details
The wait is over. Maruti Suzuki has revealed the production-spec e Vitara with a massive 60kWh battery, AWD capability, and pricing that could trigger a serious EV price war in India.
Quick Specs Comparison
| Feature | Maruti e Vitara | Tata Curvv EV | Hyundai Creta EV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery | 60 kWh | 55 kWh | 50 kWh (Expected) |
| Claimed Range | 550 km | 500 km | 450 km |
| Expected Price | ₹18–22 lakh | ₹17.5–22 lakh | ₹20–24 lakh |
Why This Matters for Indian EV Buyers
Tata Motors has dominated the mass-market EV space for years. The Maruti e Vitara changes the equation by offering All-Wheel Drive (AWD), something neither the Curvv EV nor the upcoming Creta EV currently provides.
If Maruti manages to price the base variant under ₹18 lakh, it instantly becomes the most practical long-range electric SUV for Indian families.
The Real “Range Anxiety” Killer
With a 60kWh battery pack and Maruti’s focus on efficiency, the e Vitara’s claimed 550km range directly targets the biggest EV fear: long-distance usability. Real-world figures will matter, but even a conservative 450–480km would put it ahead of rivals.
