New Creta Rival Launch

To take on the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki is set to launch its third rival to the Creta. The brand already has SUVs like the Grand Vitara & the Victoris, and now will be launching the new e Vitara in India. Talking of which, Maruti will be launching the new e Vitara tomorrow – the 2nd of December. What about price? Well, we expect Maruti to launch the e Vitara between Rs 17 lakh & Rs 24 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). Once launched, the e Vitara will compete with the already established Creta EV, Tata Curvv.ev and even the MG Windsor. But does it have enough to rival these SUVs?

On the other hand, the 61 kWh battery pack gets a dual-motor setup for AWD, delivering 184bhp and 300Nm. Now, the same was expected for the Indian market too.
