The Maruti e Vitara is Maruti Suzuki's first battery-electric vehicle in India, expected to launch in Q1 2026. It is built jointly with Toyota under the long-running Suzuki–Toyota partnership and rides on the dedicated Heartect-e EV platform shared with the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV.

Two battery options are expected based on Suzuki's global specification: a 49 kWh pack on the entry trims and a 61 kWh pack on the long-range variants. Range claims hover around 500 km on the larger battery (claimed/expected; ARAI figures to be confirmed at launch). Powertrain options include single-motor front-wheel drive and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive variant on top trims.

What makes the e Vitara important is not the spec sheet but the network: Maruti's 5,700+ service touchpoints and ~450 sales outlets are the largest auto retail footprint in India by a wide margin. The company has signaled the launch will be paired with the largest single-OEM charging-station rollout in India to date. Whether trust + reach beat first-mover advantage is the central question for the Indian EV market in 2026.
