Coincidentally, I spotted one of these fully camouflaged cars in Gurgaon today. I followed it for a few kilometers; at first, it resembled a Nissan Magnite, but then I realized that since it was recently updated, it couldn't be that model. It occurred to me that it must be a Maruti, given that there's a factory nearby.

[@ads7506]

Pricing advantage is not seemingly encouraging considering the competition. Range would be the key. March 2025 is very much late release, by that time Harrier and Creta EV could be in the market.

[@7567_Rex]

50kWh ZS EV gets 350-400km 60kWh atto3 gets 450km so it will be in similar ballpark HMG has more EV experience than all three japanese brands combined, Creta will have better efficiency than vitara, already a big car like Ioniq 5 gets 7km/kWh, it will be easy to get 8km/kWh or more on creta

[@divyanshbhutra5071]

​​@@7567_RexExactly. People assume that bigger batteries mean more range. But the range increase per kWh of batteries quickly starts diminishing. Batteries are extremely lousy at storing energy. Not holding much to begin with, and then constantly leaking it.

[@nayansupreeth8932]

Could it be decreased by weight to increase power or increase power according to weight

[@N0Xa880iUL]

This is impressive. Expensive for a MS, but maybe it's not like a traditional maruti-suzuki!

[@sohandesai818]

Why is the drive selector flush with the console? Does it pop out or something?

[@beastislive7174]

BE05/Creta EV is more promising, I was never excited for a Suzuki EV (nor for there ice models tho)... BUT why does it look like a Korean car like by design? None the less Import of Battery pack would surely hike the prices compared to the rivals :)

[@7567_Rex]

yes, hyundai has more EV experience than all 3 japanese combined Even a big EV like ioniq 5 gets 7km/kWh, smaller creta can easily get 8km/kWh or more

[@Reddylion]

Agree only interested in be 6e, creta EV, mg es5 etc

[@commieTerminator]

It's a high quality and a durable battery tho. BYD's LFP blade battery passes the nail penetration test and can last 5000 charging cycles which is insane. A 400km real world range car would last for 5000*400 = 20 lakh km so assume 15 lakh km with 15-20% range loss

[@mahi98goodguy]

Front left side charging port is a bad idea IMO... High probability of damaging the port for minor fender bender accidents

[@rcpratim]

People talk about range but what about charging infra. Govt is pushing for ev without developing any charging infra for tire 2/3 towns. Range won't be a concern if we get adequate dc fast charging on all major national highways

[@branduncensored]

Just like Gov pushed combustion engine cars without building proper infrastructure back in the day. India is the only country where cars were brought before the infra.

[@FindMeInsanity]

with a price that high, MG Windsor will be stealing all the hype for being such a comfy, luxurious car starting only at ~10L. Saw one on the street yesterday. Was awestruck by how good the sofa-seats looked like and how massive the infotainment screen/control panel is.

[@sayakmukherjee7777]

Pleasantly surprised for sure. Will wait to see how the market accepts this as substantial market share is now being taken away by Tata and I would assume BYD should come chasing right after. However, Maruti could hope to capitalise on the soft corner that Indians have but a sub-Rs 30 lakh Maruti? After the Invicto? Only time will tell. In my opinion Maruti should go all guns blazing and literally equip it with everything in its arsenal. One glaring misses at this price point in my opinion is going to be no powered seats? Hope it makes it to the “e” Vitara and even the Grand Vitara at this point. P.S. Who’s responsible for this cliche naming?

I personally think ..india simply don't need a 4wd or dual motor set up,, it simply not gonna help its cause to keep the price on check.. It gonna be a disruption in the ev space ...cuz it's a maruti suzuki at the end of the day ..❤🎉❤

[@Jassimran_Singh]

No need for this E Vitara unless it is priced starting from 14 lakh rupees. Still hybrid will make more sense and peace of mind. India needs plug in hybrids rather than Evs. A plug in hybrid can be suitable to maximum Indians with a traveling range of 70 kms on battery and thereafter petrol. I don’t know why Autocar is not covering or doing a podcast on Plug In Hybrids.

[@7567_Rex]

hybrid itself costs from 18L for base model and 25L for top model they have put puny 0.75kWH battery (even smaller than ola scooter) and still eats up 100L boot space 70km range means at least 10kWh battery, there will be no boot space and legroom left seeing how much space their 0.75kWH battery consumes

[@SmitePlayz1]

"A plug in hybrid can be suitable to maximum Indians" bad performance on battery, needing to worry about both charging and filling petrol, and you still think its suitable? no hybrid car performs good on the battery alone. you have to sacrifice so much performance just for a slightly cheaper running cost, and it wont even matter much if you drive a lot.

[@BombayBeacon]

At 3:10, we can see that the car is a left-hand-drive. We hope Indians are comfortable with the steering wheel on the left side of the dash board.
