I still remember the first time I saw the eVX concept at Auto Expo 2023. Its sharp lines and futuristic stance made me pause, and somewhere in the back of my mind I thought, “This could change the game for Maruti.” Now, that concept has turned into reality. The Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara EV is finally set to debut on September 3, and the buzz feels electric in every sense of the word.

When I picture the e-Vitara, I don’t just see another SUV. I see that boxy yet muscular body with LED DRLs cutting through the air like neon strokes. I can almost hear the quiet hum it might make as it glides through city roads, leaving behind the usual roar of petrol engines we grew up with.

What excites me most is the claimed 500 km range. It’s the kind of number that makes road trips suddenly feel practical in an EV. Maruti will be offering two battery pack options, quick charging support, and the comfort of knowing that it’s built right here in Gujarat. Inside, think dual screens, ventilated seats, a panoramic glass roof, and that premium finish that makes you want to just sit back and breathe it all in.
