Maruti’s first electric SUV is ready to shake up the EV scene in India next month — here’s everything that makes it stand out
Maruti Suzuki’s First Electric SUV Is Finally Here
Maruti Suzuki is finally stepping into the EV game, and it’s doing it in style. The upcoming Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, already on sale in European markets, is all set to enter Indian showrooms next month. And guess what? It’s coming to take on none other than the Hyundai Creta Electric.
Built from the ground up as an EV, the e Vitara isn’t just another rebadged SUV — it’s packed with clever design touches and comfort-first features. Here are five reasons why this electric SUV might just be Maruti’s next big hit.

1. Flat Floor for Maximum Comfort
Since it’s built on a dedicated EV platform, the e Vitara gets a completely flat floor. That might not sound like a big deal at first, but it makes a huge difference inside. The middle passenger in the rear seat finally gets equal leg and under-thigh support — no awkward hump in the middle! This small design tweak makes the cabin feel roomier and more premium, easily fitting five adults in comfort.
2. 10-Way Power Adjustable Driver’s Seat
Long drives? No problem. The e Vitara comes with a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat — a first for Maruti. You can tweak the lumbar support, recline angle, height, and seat position with just the touch of a button. It’s all about finding that perfect driving position, whether you’re cruising through the city or hitting the highway.
3. 40:20:40 Split Rear Seats for Flexibility
The 40:20:40-split rear seats are another thoughtful addition. This setup means you can fold down just the middle section to carry long items like a ladder or camping gear, while still keeping two rear passengers comfy. The seats also recline and slide, giving you more ways to use your cabin space smartly — great for road trips or hauling stuff around.
4. Rear Multi-Link Suspension = Smoother Ride
Here’s a feature enthusiasts will love — instead of the usual torsion beam setup, the e Vitara comes with a rear multi-link suspension. In plain words, this means it’ll handle bumps and corners way better. Expect a smoother, more planted ride, and sharper handling — something you don’t usually associate with Maruti’s SUVs.
5. Safety First: Seven Airbags Including a Knee Airbag
Maruti Suzuki is upping its safety game big time with the e Vitara. Apart from the standard six airbags, this SUV will include a driver’s knee airbag, making it the only Maruti to offer seven airbags in total. Combine that with the strong body structure, and it’s clear safety was a top priority here.
Bonus: Premium Tech and Range
The e Vitara won’t just stop at comfort and safety. Expect a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 18-inch alloy wheels, and Level 2 ADAS features. It’ll be available in standard-range FWD and long-range FWD versions, with the top variant expected to offer over 500 km of range on a single charge.

It’s stylish, practical, and seems tailor-made for Indian families making the switch to electric. If priced right, this could easily become India’s next best-selling electric SUV.
