- Battery and Range: The e-Vitara is expected to offer two battery options—49kWh and 61kWh—with a range of about 550km per charge. It may also include All-Wheel Drive (AWD), which is rare in this category.
Design and Features:
The e-Vitara’s design, first shown in its concept form as the eVX, includes features like short overhangs, a flat floor, and a more modern look compared to current Maruti Suzuki models. It will highlight its premium nature with advanced design and improved performance.
