Maruti Suzuki is stepping into the electric vehicle (EV) space with ambitious plans to dominate the Indian market. The company is gearing up to launch its first all-electric SUV, the e Vitara, by March 2025, and an entry-level electric hatchback, codenamed Y2V, by 2028. These vehicles are part of Maruti’s plan to launch six electric models by 2031, catering to a wide range of customers and solidifying its position in the growing EV ecosystem.

The e Vitara will be Maruti Suzuki’s debut in the EV market, designed to appeal to premium buyers. Built on the HEARTECT-e platform, the e Vitara promises cutting-edge technology and efficiency.

  • Battery: Equipped with a 60kWh battery, the e Vitara is expected to deliver a range of over 500 kilometers on a single charge.
  • Launch Timeline: Official debut set for March 2025.
  • Target Market: Positioned to compete with the Tata Nexon EV Max and Mahindra XUV400 in the growing premium electric SUV segment.

The e Vitara reflects Maruti Suzuki’s commitment to addressing consumer concerns with a high-performance, sustainable vehicle.


Y2V: Affordable Electric Mobility for India

Maruti Suzuki’s Y2V electric hatchback will cater to urban commuters looking for a reliable and affordable EV. The hatchback marks Maruti’s first EV fully developed in India, a move to meet the unique needs of Indian consumers.

  • Battery: Powered by a 35kWh battery, the Y2V will be optimized for shorter commutes, ensuring cost efficiency.
  • Production: Slated to begin by 2028, with a planned volume of 2.5 lakh units over five years.
  • Design: Expected to be based on the Suzuki eWX concept, with compact and functional styling.
  • Market Segment: Competing directly with the Tata Tiago.ev and MG Comet EV, the Y2V is expected to lead Maruti’s charge into the entry-level EV space.

This affordable electric hatchback is designed to bring sustainable mobility to Indian cities, focusing on practicality and affordability.


Maruti’s EV Roadmap: Six Models by 2031

Maruti Suzuki aims to revolutionize India’s EV market with a diverse range of electric vehicles, from compact hatchbacks to mid-size SUVs. The company projects that EVs will make up 15% of its total sales by the end of the decade.

Key strategies include:

  1. Cost-Effective Design: Smaller batteries and local development to reduce costs.
  2. Infrastructure Expansion: Collaborating with partners to build an extensive EV charging network.
  3. Mass Market Appeal: Balancing affordability and performance to attract budget-conscious buyers.

Challenges and Opportunities

While Maruti Suzuki’s EV plans are promising, challenges such as market demand, government policies, and competition from established players like Tata Motors and MG will shape the company’s success.

However, Maruti Suzuki’s extensive dealer network, experience in the ICE segment, and focus on affordability give it a strong foundation to thrive in the EV market.


A New Era for Indian EVs

Maruti Suzuki’s dual approach with the premium e Vitara and the affordable Y2V hatchback highlights its commitment to making EVs accessible to a wide audience. With six electric models planned by 2031, Maruti Suzuki is poised to become a major player in India’s EV transformation.

These upcoming models represent a significant step toward India’s sustainable mobility goals and reflect Maruti Suzuki’s vision of a greener, electric future.
