Maruti Suzuki India Limited has commenced deliveries of its electric SUV e VITARA in India, marking a major milestone in the country’s electric mobility transition. The electric SUV is available with an introductory Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) price starting at ₹10.99 lakh plus battery usage charges of ₹3.99 per km, aimed at making EV ownership more accessible and affordable.
The company said the e VITARA is offered with two battery options – 61 kWh and 49 kWh – delivering a driving range of up to 543 kilometres, positioning it among long-range electric SUVs in its segment. Customers can book the vehicle at NEXA showrooms or through the NEXA website with an initial payment of ₹21,000.
To support EV adoption, Maruti Suzuki introduced an exclusive NEXA Edge package, which includes a complimentary 7.4 kW AC home charger with installation, one-year complimentary public charging through the ‘e for me’ app at dealer locations, and an assured buyback plan offering up to 60% buyback value under a three-year ownership plan. The company is also offering flexible ownership schemes such as BaaS and the ‘e Flex’ upgrade plan, allowing customers to switch to the e VITARA with similar EMIs as their existing vehicles.
Maruti Suzuki highlighted its focus on hassle-free EV ownership, supported by over 1,500 EV-ready service centres, dedicated EV relationship managers, and charging managers. The e VITARA is backed by an 8-year or 160,000 km battery warranty, with a standard three-year vehicle warranty extendable up to eight years.
In terms of safety and technology, the electric SUV features Level 2 ADAS, seven airbags as standard, and next-generation Suzuki Connect with over 60 connected features. Built on the HEARTECT-e platform with high-strength steel construction and an advanced battery protection system, the e VITARA has achieved a 5-star Bharat NCAP safety rating.
Maruti Suzuki said the launch of the e VITARA is a key pillar of its EV strategy in India, supported by a growing fast-charging network accessible via the ‘e for me’ app, which offers charger discovery, scheduling, and payment options.
Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer for Marketing and Sales, said the e VITARA is designed to be the primary EV choice for Indian customers, combining long range, reliable charging infrastructure, and flexible ownership plans. He added that the company’s extensive service network and dedicated EV support ecosystem aim to provide customers with complete peace of mind.
The launch underscores Maruti Suzuki’s push to accelerate electric vehicle adoption in India and strengthen its leadership in the passenger vehicle market amid growing competition in the EV segment.
