Maruti Suzuki to Launch Its First EV in India – The e-Vitara (Launch on 2 December 2025)

Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest carmaker, is finally stepping into the electric mobility space in a big way. The company has officially confirmed that its first fully-electric passenger vehicle for the Indian market — the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara — will be launched on 2 December 2025. This marks a major milestone not only for Maruti, but also for India’s fast-growing EV landscape.

A Big Step: Maruti’s First Mass-Market Electric Car

Even though Maruti Suzuki dominates India’s petrol and CNG car market, the company has taken its time entering the EV segment. With the e-Vitara, Maruti aims to offer a practical, reliable, and affordable electric SUV for Indian families.

This EV will be the first of four new battery electric vehicles (BEVs) Maruti plans to introduce by 2030, showing its long-term commitment to clean mobility.

Expected Key Highlights of the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara

✔️ 500+ km Driving Range

The e-Vitara is expected to offer over 500 km of range on a single charge — a major leap for an Indian mass-market EV. If launched at the right price, this would make it one of the longest-range electric SUVs in its segment.

✔️ Level 2 ADAS Features

Safety and technology will be a big part of this EV. Level 2 ADAS may include:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control

  • Lane Keep Assist

  • Autonomous Emergency Braking

  • Traffic Sign Recognition

  • Blind Spot Monitoring

This puts the e-Vitara directly in competition with global EV brands already offering advanced driver-assistance tech.

✔️ Sunroof & Premium Features

The SUV is expected to include:

  • Electric sunroof

  • Large touchscreen infotainment

  • Connected car features

  • Multiple drive modes

  • Fast-charging support

Maruti is targeting a modern, feature-rich experience — something Indian buyers expect today.

Why the e-Vitara Matters for the Indian EV Market

Maruti Suzuki’s entry into electric vehicles is a game-changer. Here’s why:

1. EV Adoption Will Accelerate

Maruti’s massive reach — 3,500+ dealerships and unmatched brand trust — means EVs will reach more towns, smaller cities, and new first-time buyers. This will push India’s EV transition forward much faster.

2. More Affordable Pricing Expected

While premium brands like Hyundai, MG, and Tata EVs dominate the current market, Maruti is known for aggressive pricing. A competitively priced e-Vitara will make long-range EVs accessible to the masses.

3. Strong After-Sales Network

Maruti has India’s largest service network. For EV buyers worried about maintenance and support, this adds massive confidence.

Launch Timeline & Booking Expectations

The official launch is scheduled for:

2 December 2025

Since this is one of the most anticipated EVs of the year, long waiting periods are likely — similar to what we saw with the Grand Vitara hybrid.
Tip: Consider pre-booking once the brand opens reservations.

Check State EV Subsidies Before Booking

EV incentives vary by state. Depending on where you live, you may get benefits such as:

  • Direct purchase subsidy

  • Road-tax exemption

  • Registration fee waiver

  • Scrappage incentives for old cars

Checking these in advance may reduce the total ownership cost significantly.
