Warranty
On the warranty front, the battery gets an 8-year or 1,60,000km cover. The vehicle itself comes with a standard 3-year warranty. Buyers can also opt for a 5-year extended warranty at an extra cost. An assured buyback plan is available too, with 60 percent value after 3 years/45,000km and 50 percent after 4 years/60,000km.
Deliveries
Deliveries have already started but supply may stay tight till around July. This is because India is the global manufacturing hub for the e Vitara. The Gujarat plant also produces other high-demand models like the Fronx, which limits production capacity for the e Vitara. However, the carmaker says it is balancing exports and domestic demand to keep waiting periods under control. Production is expected to ramp up in the second half of the year.
Rivals
With this launch, Maruti Suzuki officially enters the midsize electric SUV segment. The pricing does not undercut all rivals. It is costlier than the Vinfast VF6 and MG Windsor, but cheaper than the Hyundai Creta Electric and Mahindra BE 6.
Battery and motor
The e Vitara with a 49kWh battery producing 144hp offers a claimed range of 440km. The larger 61kWh pack produces 174hp and offers a claimed range of 543km. Both versions deliver 189Nm torque and use a front-wheel-drive setup.
Charging from 10 to 80 percent with a 7.4kW charger takes about 6.5 hours for the smaller battery and 9 hours for the bigger one.
