Maruti e Vitara Exterior Explained In 10 Real Life Images: Exterior, Design, Dimensions, Wheels, Powertrain, Price And Rivals Explained

Maruti is all set to target the mid-size electric SUV segment with the new e Vitara. It is for the first time that Maruti will be using the iconic ‘Vitara’ nameplate for an EV. The new electric SUV stands out with its rugged styling, feature-loaded cabin, and two battery pack options. Maruti has put in a lot of effort into the striking exterior design of the e Vitara. Here is a walkaround of the e Vitara’s exterior styling in 10 real-life images:
Front
The front profile of the e Vitara is rather understated than bold. It carries a modern, elegant, and timeless design language which seems in tune with the NEXA brand from Maruti Suzuki. It has got its proportions right and has a look and feel of quality. The chunky bumpers and body claddings add to the muscular look of the car.

To add to this are sharp LED projector headlights, sleek three-point matrix Y-shaped LED DRLs, and a closed front grille.

Side
Moving to the side, the body claddings are continued here, and the car rides on 18-inch alloy wheels.

The windows are big enough to eliminate the feeling of claustrophobia inside the car. The silhouette of the car carries a subtle sophistication and would appeal to those who value subtlety.

Rear
The rear end of the e Vitara has a coupe-like stance. The sharp body lines, integrated rear spoiler, and a bulky rear bumper add to the aesthetic visual appeal. The rear windscreen houses a wiper while the Suzuki logo and ‘e Vitara’ emblem have been placed on the tailgate. Complimenting this are wraparound three-point matrix LED taillights with a similar Y-shaped design as the DRLs, which contribute to giving the car an unnoticeable road presence.
