Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara Price Announced in India Starting at Rs 10.99 Lakh with BaaS
Maruti Suzuki has officially disrupted the Indian electric vehicle market with the price announcement of its first-ever electric SUV, the e-Vitara. Launched under the premium NEXA brand, the e-Vitara introduces a highly competitive Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) ownership model, making high-end electric mobility more accessible than ever.
Disruptive Pricing and the BaaS Model
The e-Vitara enters the market with an introductory BaaS price of Rs 10.99 Lakh. This innovative dual-loan finance product separates the vehicle cost from the battery cost, significantly lowering the upfront acquisition price for customers.
- Introductory Price: Rs 10.99 Lakh (BaaS)
- Battery EMI: Rs 3.99 per km
- Booking Amount: Rs 21,000
This model is designed for the 49kWh variant, with calculations based on an average daily running of 60 km. By eliminating the upfront battery cost, Maruti Suzuki is positioning the e-Vitara to compete directly with mid-range ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) SUVs.
NEXA Edge: Unmatched Ownership Benefits
To bolster customer confidence in its first EV, Maruti Suzuki has bundled the e-Vitara with a comprehensive “NEXA Edge” package that covers everything from resale value to charging infrastructure.
1. 60% Assured Buyback
One of the biggest concerns for EV buyers—depreciation—is addressed with an assured buyback of 60% after 3 years. This guarantees a high resale value, making it a “future-proof” investment.
2. Comprehensive Warranty
- Battery Warranty: 8 Years
- Vehicle Warranty: 8 Years (3 standard + 5 years paid extended warranty)
3. Charging Ecosystem
Buyers receive a complimentary home charger and installation worth Rs 50,000. Additionally, Maruti is offering complimentary charging for 1 year across its growing reliable charging ecosystem.
Performance and Platform
The e-Vitara is built on the dedicated HEARTECT-e Platform, specifically engineered for electric drivetrains.
- Battery Options: 49kWh and 61kWh
- Claimed Range: Up to 543 km (for the 61kWh variant)
- Drivetrain: Pure Electric with independent eAxles
The SUV features a modern, rugged design with tri-LED DRLs, 18-inch aerodynamic alloy wheels, and a tech-loaded interior featuring a dual-screen floating display and Level 2 ADAS safety features.
