Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Price: Maruti Suzuki has officially introduced its maiden electric vehicle for the Indian market, the e-Vitara, a compact SUV designed to cater to the most competitive segment at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo. Unlike its ICE siblings, this fully electric SUV is built from the ground up and bears no mechanical connection to the Grand Vitara, despite sharing its name.

The e-Vitara is the production version of the eVX concept showcased earlier and will enter production at Suzuki Motor Gujarat in late 2025.

How Much Could Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Be Priced At?

Maruti Suzuki is expected to give its e Vitara an aggressive pricing but given the premium list of features, we can expect a price which would be more than the hybrid Grand Vitara for sure.

However, in terms of battery EVs, or BEVs, the e Vitara would be competitive in terms of pricing, with the lower battery pack being within around the Rs 17- Rs 18 lakh starting price.
