Maruti Suzuki has finally shared solid details about its first electric SUV, the e Vitara, and the big highlight is its driving range. The company has confirmed that the e Vitara will offer up to 543km (ARAI) on its larger battery pack. This instantly makes it one of the most practical EV options for long daily runs as well as highway trips.
The e Vitara will come with two battery choices – a 49kWh pack and a 61kWh pack. These will be spread across three trims, giving buyers some flexibility on price and usage. Maruti hasn’t shared the full variant breakup yet, but the larger battery will be offered on the Zeta and Alpha trims, while the Delta will get the 49kWh pack.
