Maruti Suzuki is set to unveil its first electric SUV, the e-Vitara on December 2, marking a major milestone in the company’s electric vehicle lineup. The e-Vitara features a futuristic design philosophy and advanced technology built on the new HEARTECT-e platform. 

Design and Exterior Features

The e-Vitara embodies Maruti Suzuki’s crafted futurism with a polyhedral muscular stance, giving it a distinctive and aggressive look. Key exterior highlights include the NEXtr 3-Point Matrix LED DRLs with LED headlamps, futuristic front and rear fascia, aerodynamic R18 alloys, and a smart grille with adaptive shutters. The SUV comes in 10 colour options with four dual-tone finishes, accentuating its modern appeal.

The spacious cabin benefits from a long 2700mm wheelbase, ventilated front seats, a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and flexible rear seats with sliding and reclining features. Extras like a twin-deck floating console with shift-by-wire and a sunroof with fixed glass enhance the premium feel.

Performance and Battery Technology

Powered by a high-capacity 120 lithium-ion cell battery, the e-Vitara boasts an extensive range and reliable performance even under extreme temperature conditions ranging from -30°C to 60°C. The HEARTECT-e platform combines high tensile steel for structural rigidity with a flat floor design for maximising space. Drive modes include Eco, Normal, Sport, and a unique Snow mode for better traction on slippery surfaces.

The SUV is equipped with 7 airbags, a driver knee airbag, all-wheel disc brakes, an electronic parking brake with brake hold, and a 360-degree view camera. Additional features like a tyre pressure monitoring system and an acoustic vehicle alert system further enhance occupant and pedestrian safety.
