Design
The Maruti e Vitara displayed at the expo sported a Nexa Blue exterior, the same as the model shown at the Auto Expo 2025. However, buyers will have more choices, with five monotone and four dual-tone color options available.
At the front, the e Vitara features LED projector headlights, Y-shaped LED DRLs, and fog lamps. Moving to the side, the SUV rides on 18-inch aerodynamic alloy wheels and has black cladding on the doors. The rear end gets a stylish black bumper and a three-piece LED tail light design, connected by a gloss black strip.
Interior
Inside the e Vitara, a premium and tech-loaded cabin awaits. A dual-screen setup dominates the dashboard, and a sleek two-spoke steering wheel enhances the modern look. The rectangular AC vents, auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, and semi-leatherette seat upholstery add to the premium feel.
Other notable interior features include an electronic parking brake and a wireless phone charger, making the cabin both stylish and functional. While Maruti has not yet revealed the exact feature distribution across variants, the showcased model is believed to be the top-end Alpha variant.
