When Maruti Suzuki at last arrived in the electric vehicles market with the e-Vitara, it wasn’t just another SUV — it was an Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara SUV that appeared to be crammed full of safety, comfort and luxury features. For a marque that was famed for making practical, no-nonsense family cars, this drift toward luxury and cutting-edge technology is refreshing, and, if we’re being honest, quite impressive.
The e-Vitara was in the news recently crashing a solid 5-star rating in Bharat NCAP, making it the first electric SUV in India to get a 5-star under the new testing regime. But what does that mean, really, as a buyer? It means Maruti has done something extraordinary: it has built a car that is truly safe, a car that shields you in ways that exceed not just those of any other Maruti before it, but that of any car, full stop.
E-Vitara Conquered in Safety
Let’s talk about safety equipment first, because it’s really exhaustive. All e-Vitaras have seven airbags, including a driver-side knee airbag not offered by many competitors. But here is the interesting part: it is not only a safety checkbox. The whole structure of the vehicle is designed with safety in mind. Long story short, more than 50% of the body used high-tensile steel and the battery pack is secured with an energy-absorbing structure that helps to dissipate impact energy in the event of a crash.
What really distinguishes the e-Vitara, however, is its Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). This isn’t something you get on many cars in India, let alone from Maruti Suzuki. These systems include adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking and lane departure mitigation. Consider it as an additional perception on the road — the car is actively trying to keep you safe, not just responding after something bad happens.
The 360-degree camera system is yet another well-conceived feature that makes parking on Indian city roads really conditioning-free. Together with front and rear parking sensors, electronic parking brake with auto-hold function, and a tyre pressure monitoring system, the e-Vitara makes daily driving a stressful experience to an expectable one.

Premium Features That Actually Matter
Now let’s go past safety to the high-end features that really make driving everyday a pleasure. The interior quality is the first thing you notice when you step inside. Maruti has also given the e-Vitara a digital cockpit with a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 10.25-inch digital driver’s cluster – both merged into a single, high-tech display layout. This isn’t just smoke and mirrors, the interface is user friendly, and includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The convenience features are high in numbers also. Driver’s seat has 10-way power adjustment — best-in-segment for this category, so no matter what your height or preference, you will get the ideal driving position. The front seats are ventilated and the steering wheel even comes heated in most variants. For those riding in the rear, there’s a split rear seat (40:20:40) that reclines and slides, affording everyone in the vehicle true comfort for long hauls.
The interior is further enhanced with an Infinity by Harman audio system, multi-color ambient lighting with 12 colors and 7 dimming levels. These may seem like frills, but they make the daily grind a little more tolerable. Throw in a panoramic roof and you have a vehicle that smells more like a million-bucks rather than what it actually costs.
Modern Connectivity Features
Maruti’s Next-Gen Suzuki Connect delivers 60+ connected features to the e-Vitara. This translates to remote vehicle access, live location tracking, and vehicle health monitoring, all from your smartphone. It’s the sort of technology that makes driving nowadays feel like no-hassle, no-worry.
Conclusion
What makes the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara special is how Maruti has been able to integrate robust safety features with real premium-features, and not making the car feel over-engineered or unnecessarily complex. The 5-star Bharat NCAP rating is a testament to the company’s occupant protection, while the long list of premium features suggests they know what the modern Indian buyer wants.
If you worry about your family’s safety, you crave the latest technology or you just want a car that makes no comfort compromises, the e-Vitara has you covered. It’s a car that shows electric doesn’t have to mean sacrificing on features — in fact, Maruti has taken the opportunity to do the opposite and significantly raise the bar for the entire range.
In a segment increasingly dominated by safety and technology, the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara raises the bar and that makes it an attractive proposition for those buyers who wouldn’t want to compromise on the best.
