Maruti e Vitara EV with Made-in-India eAxle – Expected Price, Range, and Features

Maruti Suzuki is all set to launch its first electric SUV, the e Vitara, in India by September 2025. This all-electric SUV has already made its debut in the UK and is exported from India, marking a major milestone for Maruti’s EV journey.

Made-in-India eAxle for the e Vitara

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara will use a compact eAxle developed in collaboration with Toyota, Aisin, and Denso under a group called BluE Nexus. This unit combines a motor, inverter, and transmission into one compact system, similar to what’s used in Tesla, BMW, and Hyundai EVs.

The front-mounted motor is designed to fit easily under the bonnet and delivers between 144 hp and 174 hp. A rear motor producing 108 hp could be offered later with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) version, possibly debuting first on a Toyota-badged variant.

Compact, Efficient Design

To keep the eAxle small and efficient, it uses double-sided cooling and high-efficiency magnets. The inverter is also housed within the main motor unit, reducing weight and improving space usage—ideal for more room in the cabin and boot.

Battery, Range, and Expected Specs

The India-spec e Vitara will come with a 61kWh battery, offering a range of around 500 km on a single charge. This makes it suitable for both city drives and longer road trips.

Maruti eVitara Pricing and Launch Timeline

The e Vitara is expected to be priced starting from Rs 17 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. In the UK, the electric SUV is priced between Rs 35.05 lakh and Rs 44.16 lakh (converted). Several Maruti dealerships in India have already started showcasing the e Vitara and are accepting offline bookings.
