2026 Maruti e Vitara - Half-baked | Review

So I finally got the opportunity to drive Maruti Suzuki's first ever electric car e Vitara, which is yet to go on sale. Expected to be launched in January 2026, the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara feels like a half-baked product as it misses out on some key traits that Maruti Suzuki is otherwise known for. In this review, I highlight all the major positives and negatives of this electric SUV covering key aspects such as safety, realistic range, ride quality, handling, features, interior comfort, practicality and ease of use. Just so you know, I only drove the top-spec trim of the vehicle that features a 61kWh battery pack.
