Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Range

The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara range follows a clear pattern, because battery size determines the claimed driving range and motor output. The 49kWh version is rated at 440km on a full charge, while the 61kWh version is rated at 543km. The smaller battery produces 143hp, while the larger one makes 173hp, with both versions delivering 192.5Nm of torque.

Which model fits my driving:

• The Delta 49kWh is worth considering for mainly city driving, where a claimed range of 440km may be sufficient for regular commuting, provided charging is convenient.
• The Zeta and Alpha 61kWh versions offer a higher claimed range of 543km, making them more suitable for buyers who regularly cover longer distances.
• The 61kWh battery also brings the more powerful 173hp motor, compared with 143hp in the 49kWh version.
• Our experts at Autocar India recorded an initial drive around 7km/kWh in city driving and 4.8km/kWh on the highway. These are indicative observations from a short drive, not definitive real-world efficiency figures.
• There is no petrol, diesel or CNG option, as the e Vitara is an all-electric SUV. Actual range will vary with traffic, speed, air-conditioning use, road conditions and driving style.
