Trending Questions on Maruti Suzuki e Vitara - Answered by Autocar Experts
Before I begin, I would like to thank Autocar for always offering sensible and well-informed advice to its readers. I have been an Autocar India subscriber since 2002. As per your earlier advice, I am considering the 49 kWh battery version of the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara for my monthly usage of around 900 km in Bengaluru. For longer journeys, I already own a Toyota Hycross Hybrid, so the EV will primarily be used for city driving. My main confusion is regarding the performance difference between the 49 kWh and 61 kWh battery versions. I recently test-drove the 61 kWh variant and drove it for about 20 km, and I must say it was a joy to drive and handled very well probably the best-handling Maruti I have experienced. However, I am concerned whether the 49 kWh version, which comes with a smaller motor, might feel noticeably less powerful or subdued in performance compared to the 61 kWh version, even though the torque figure is said to be the same for both.
Thanks for being a loyal subscriber.
As you've rightly mentioned, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara gets two versions 144hp/189Nm motor with a 49kWh battery, and the other is 174hp/189Nm motor, 61kWh battery. The common factor between the two versions is the 189Nm motor torque, which makes it zippy.
Of course, being more powerful, the larger battery version is likely to hit higher (three-digit) speeds more quickly, but within town (up to speeds of 60-70kph), the difference between their acceleration is likely to be negligible.
So opt for the 61kWh version only if you need more range, else as a city commuter, the 49kWh version's performance should be more than sufficient.
With respect to my earlier query, I have booked the Maruti E Vitara Zeta variant, which is 61kW. Will this be a sensible buy, as I am replacing it with a 2016 Brezza diesel manual that has done 1.07 lakh km? The E Vitara would be automatic, as electric cars are. I plan to keep it for 10 years for city driving and occasional highway use, or would you suggest any other electric in this price band with the same battery pack and reliability as MS? Monthly run is 900km.
Please suggest a replacement for my 10-year-old Maruti Suzuki Brezza diesel manual, which has done 1.07 lakh km. I am thinking of the Maruti e-Vitara, but I am confused between the 61 kW and 49 kW battery options. My running is about 900 km in the city, and I have a HyCross hybrid for highway journeys. Please advise which e-Vitara battery option would be best.
Since you’ve had a long stint with your Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, it’s understandable that you’re looking at the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara as a replacement.
You’ve mentioned 900km of city running, which we assume is per month. For that kind of usage, the 49kWh battery should be sufficient. In real-world city conditions, you can expect roughly 250-300km on a full charge, though we have yet to test the range ourselves. For pure urban use, the 49kWh battery is practical and cost-effective.
The larger 61kWh battery would give you more range and flexibility. But given that you already have the Toyota Innova Hycross for highway trips. The smaller battery pack makes more financial sense unless you simply want the added buffer and peace of mind.
I am confused between the EV and petrol versions. My driving is around 1,100-1,400km a month. I am confused between the new Seltos base model, Grand Vitara, and the e Vitara. Which one should I buy?
I am looking to buy an EV within a ₹20-21 lakh budget. Right now, I am confused between the MG Windsor Pro Essence trim and the Maruti e Vitara Alpha trim. Which one should I go for?
My daily driving is around 60+ km in city traffic. I currently own a Tata Nexon diesel. I’m looking for a reliable, safe, low-maintenance, high-feature car around ₹25+ lakh. I’m unsure whether to go for an EV or a diesel car. Can you please suggest which car I should consider for complete peace of mind, low running costs, and low maintenance?
Since you are driving 60km daily and all within the city, an EV would be a good option for you. However, this is only on the assumption that you have access to charging at home or your place of work. Relying only on public charging is not really convenient at all. We would suggest the Maruti Suzuki eVitara. Its drawbacks of tight rear and boot space would not be much of an issue for your usage, and it would deliver well on your requirements of being reliable and safe.
The eVitara received a 5-star crash rating in the BNCAP tests, and being a Maruti Suzuki car should prove to be very reliable. Moreover, you will get the top spec version within your budget.
I am planning to buy an EV car, but I am confused between the MG Windsor and the Toyota eBella from Toyota. Please guide me on which one would be the better choice.
It's hard to recommend a car without knowing more about your personal requirements. However, generally speaking, the Toyota eBella, essentially the Suzuki eVitara, which has been selling for a while now in Europe, has a reliable software experience.
On the other hand, the MG Windsor has been known to have a few software glitches. These, however, being software-driven, are fixable, and MG has issued some updates already.
Beyond this, in every other way, the MG Windsor is a much better car, offering far more interior space and comfort, an impressive feature list and a good ride quality.
