Maruti Suzuki has begun its first electric vehicle manufacturing unit, the e Vitara, at the Hansalpur based unit in Gujarat. This symbolises a considerable step for the automaker as it enters the electric vehicle (EV) segment.
The e Vitara will be ready for sale across India and exported to other international markets as well.
Two Battery Options Offering Extended Range
The 2025 e Vitara features two battery pack choices:
