Maruti Suzuki eVitara Launched in India: Price Starts at ₹10.99 Lakh with BaaS; 543km Range and More

The wait is finally over. Maruti Suzuki has officially entered the Electric Vehicle (EV) Arena with the launch of the eVitara. Boasting a disruptive pricing model and a massive driving range, the eVitara is set to challenge the dominance of the Tata Nexon EV and MG Windsor EV.

Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) has officially announced the prices for its first ever fully electric SUV, the Maruti Suzuki eVitara. In a move to make EV ownership more accessible, the company has introduced the vehicle with an introductory starting price of ₹10.99 lakh (ex showroom) under its innovative Battery as a Service (BaaS) program.

Maruti eVitara Pricing and Variants

The eVitara is available in three primary trims: Delta, Zeta, and Alpha. While the full variant wise price list for outright purchase is still being finalized, the BaaS model allows buyers to significantly lower their upfront costs.

Note: Under BaaS, customers pay a battery rental fee of ₹3.99 per kilometer.

Battery, Range, and Performance

Built on the dedicated HEARTECT-e platform, the eVitara offers two battery options:

1. 49 kWh Unit: Produces 142 bhp and 193 Nm of torque, with a range of 440 km.

2. 61.1 kWh Unit: Delivers a more powerful 172 bhp and 193 Nm, with a segment leading range of 543 km.

For those seeking extra grip, Maruti also confirmed an All Wheel Drive (AWD) version featuring Suzuki’s ALLGRIP e technology, making it the first electric SUV in its class to offer AWD in India.

Top Features and Safety

The eVitara isn't just about the battery; it's a tech loaded premium SUV sold exclusively through NEXA showrooms. Key highlights include:

• Safety: 7 Airbags (standard), Level 2 ADAS (Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist), and a 5 star BNCAP safety rating.

• Luxury: Dual screen digital cockpit (10.25-inch), ventilated front seats, panoramic glass roof, and a 360 degree camera.

• Convenience: Wireless charging, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and the 'e for me' charging ecosystem.
