- Glossy front grille with a subtle electric badge.
- LED headlamps and a rear‑mounted LED strip that hints at its tech‑savvy nature.
- Two‑tone roof options on the top‑end trim for a sportier look.
- 19‑inch alloy wheels on the Premium variant, 17‑inch on the base model.
Performance & Mileage
All three variants share the same 66 kW (90 hp) permanent‑magnet motor and a 30.2 kWh battery pack. The key difference is the claimed range, which varies with the trim’s weight and tyre size.
- Base (e‑Vitara Std): 430 km (ARAI) – ideal for city commuters.
- Mid (e‑Vitara Plus): 480 km – a good balance of range and price.
- Premium (e‑Vitara Top): 543 km – longest range for longer trips.
Charging is simple: a 7.2 kW home charger fills the battery in about 7 hours, while a fast DC charger (up to 50 kW) can top up to 80 % in roughly 45 minutes.
Price & Rivals
Maruti’s pricing under the Battery‑as‑a‑Service (BaaS) model is aggressive:

Its main competition includes the Tata Nexon EV (Rs 14.5 lakh) and the MG ZS EV (Rs 22 lakh). The e‑Vitara wins on price and a solid warranty, but lags slightly on interior premium feel.
