Maruti e Vitara Details

The newly launched e Vitara will rival the likes of Hyundai Creta EV, Tata Curvv EV, MG Windsor and others in the country. Now, to give the above said car models a tough competition, Maruti has loaded the e Vitara with some advanced features & tech. Some of them include – dual screen setup for infotainment and instrumentation, powered & ventilated front seats, 360-degree camera, 7-airbags, Level 2 ADAS, reclining rear seats and more in its package. 

The e Vitara boasts a wheelbase of 2700mm, which is the best in the segment. However, the upcoming Sierra EV will have a larger wheelbase at 2730mm, similar to its ICE offering. Although spacious, the under-thigh support in the rear seats could have been better.

The SUV features a traditional EV face with muscular looks, chunky bumpers, rugged body cladding, and bulging fenders. New elements on the SUV include Y-shaped projector LED headlamps, 19-inch alloy wheels, a C-pillar-mounted door handle, and connected LED tail lamps.
