In what is possibly a historic moment for the company, Maruti Suzuki has showcased its very first mass-production EV, the e Vitara at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo. Based on the EV-specific Heartect-e platform, the e Vitara is the production-spec version of the EVX concept that was showcased at the 2023 Auto Expo. The EV will be sold through Nexa outlets in India. Maruti Suzuki stated that it will start producing the EV soon at the Suzuki Motor Gujarat plant. The manufacturer however, is yet to state when it will launch the EV here.

On the cosmetic front, the e Vitara retains a lot of styling cues from the EVX concept right from the squared-out wheel arches, prominent haunches, short overhangs and the receding roofline. The fascia sports angular headlamp clusters that house Y-shaped DRLs, merged with a sash black element. The SUV also features extensive use of cladding around the wheel arches, front and rear bumpers, and on the lower side of the doors. The rear end of the vehicle gets a connected tail lamp setup that is more or less identical in shape to the concept.
