Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Launch: Maruti Suzuki's first electric SUV eVitara has been launched today on 17th February. Its starting price has been kept at Rs 10.99 lakh. This price is with Battery-as-a-Service i.e. BaaS model, in which the battery can be taken on rent separately. This reduces the price of the car and customers get benefits. Customers can book this car for just Rs 21,000.
Two battery pack options are provided in e-Vitara. The small battery is of 49 kWh and the big one is of 61 kWh. The smaller battery variant has a single motor that drives the front wheels. The one with bigger battery has a dual motor setup, which is named AllGrip-e and it offers all-wheel drive. The driving range in the variant with larger battery is up to 543 kilometers, which is ARAI certified. This range is quite good and will be better for long journeys. The range with smaller battery will be slightly less but it is sufficient for city driving.
Special look given to the car
From outside, eVitara looks like the old Vitara SUV but electric touches have been given. At the front are three-point matrix LED DRLs that are integrated with the headlights. The bumpers are in piano black finish and the 18-inch aerodynamic alloy wheels are in black look. At the rear, there are sculpted three-point matrix LED tail lamps and a bold 3D profile. It looks futuristic and modern but maintains Maruti's old SUV styling.
The interior is unique
Talking about the interior, eVitara focuses on comfort and technology. There are ventilated seats in the front, the driver's seat is 10-way power adjustable. The rear seats are flexible to be more practical. For safety, there are seven airbags, level-2 ADAS which includes autonomous functions like lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control etc. The cabin gives a premium feel with 360 degree camera, wireless charging, keyless entry, ride-by-wire technology and ambient lighting.
This car will be sold at Maruti's NEXA dealership. Maruti has said that eVitara will be made in India and will also be exported to many countries. This is the company's first major entry in electric mobility. Customers are getting good range, strong safety and comfort. There is also a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, which increases confidence in safety.
eVitara will give a good challenge to the electric SUV segment in the Indian market. With the starting price starting at Rs 10.99 lakh, many people will be able to afford it, especially because of the BaaS model. This car is good for both city and highway. Booking has started and delivery will also happen soon. Charging and maintenance will be easy due to Maruti's service network. This launch is a big step for electric cars in India.
