At the sides, the e Vitara gets a set of either 18 inch or 19 inch alloy wheels, depending on the variant, along with body cladding and rear door handles on the C-pillar. At the rear, it is features connected LED tail lights, a shark fin antenna, and a roof spoiler which add to its sporty look.

The e Vitara was announced with two battery pack options, 49 kWh and 61 kWh. Interestingly, India gets both battery packs. While the range offered on 49 kWh battery pack is yet to be unveiled, the bigger battery pack gets a claimed range of up to 500 km. During a recent press conference, Toshihiro Suzuki, Representative Director and President at Suzuki Motor Corporation, stated that providing a range of upwards of 500 km was one of the key objectives with the e Vitara.

Interestingly, the e Vitara also brings in off-road capabilities with an electric 4WD system that sets the Maruti Suzuki EV apart from competitors. This is called the ALLGRIP-e system and it features two independent eAxles at the front and rear, offering precise control and responsiveness.

The 4WD system further features something called a Trail Mode that allows the e Vitara to move out of rough terrain. With this, the car applies brakes to spinning tyres and distributes torque in the opposite direction. The 49 kWh battery promises to deliver 142 bhp and 189 Nm of torque and it is limited to the 2WD variant. The 61 kWh battery allows for 172 bhp and 189 Nm of torque in the 2WD model. The 4WD with the same power output makes 300 Nm of torque.
