Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara: Maruti Suzuki is finally stepping into the EV game, and it’s starting strong with its very first all-electric SUV – the e-Vitara. The official launch is set for September 3, 2025, and it’s already creating a lot of buzz. Showcased earlier at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo, this new EV marks a big shift for India’s largest carmaker toward clean mobility.
The e-Vitara will be positioned in the mid-size electric SUV space and will compete directly with models like the Hyundai Creta EV, MG ZS EV, and Mahindra BE.06. What sets it apart is the solid blend of Maruti’s practicality and the growing need for sustainable driving.
