Maruti Suzuki India Limited has commenced sales of its first battery electric vehicle (BEV), the e VITARA, marking a pivotal moment in India's electric mobility landscape.
The electric SUV is available under an introductory Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model starting at ₹10.99 lakh, plus battery EMI of ₹3.99 per km. This dual-loan finance option eliminates the upfront battery cost, assuming 60 km daily usage for personal use on the 49 kWh variant, excluding charging and statutory levies like road tax, insurance, and TCS. Full pricing and variants are subject to finance company approvals and terms.
Customers can explore details, book test drives, and reserve the e VITARA with an initial ₹21,000 payment at NEXA showrooms or via the NEXA website (nexaexperience.com/ebook). The launch positions Maruti Suzuki to compete in the mid-size EV SUV segment against rivals like Tata Curvv EV, Hyundai Creta Electric, and Mahindra BE 6.
