Maruti Suzuki eVitara: Design and Dimensions
Based on the all-new born EV skateboard platform dubbed “eHeartect”, the eVitara measures 4275mm long, 1800mm wide and 1635mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2700mm and a minimum ground clearance of 180mm. Maruti Suzuki has co-developed this platform with Toyota.
Compared to the recently unveiled Creta Electric, the eVitara has a 90mm longer wheelbase. The EV rides 18-inch alloy wheels shod with 225/55 section tyres.
Design-wise, Suzuki has taken a conservative approach, featuring sharper angles and cuts providing it a muscular and rugged appearance. The base of the vehicle boasts a generous amount of cladding, with tri-slash LED lighting elements at both ends, charging ports on the front-left flank and a prominent bulge over the rear wheel arch.
Maruti Suzuki eVitara: Interior and Features
The eVitara marks a big leap for Maruti Suzuki when it comes to interior design. It features a connected floating dual-screen setup (first for Maruti Suzuki) combining infotainment and instrument cluster, a sleek dashboard layout with vertically aligned AC vents, physical AC control, soft touch material and gloss-black floating centre console with USB-equipped storage below. The steering wheel is a completely new 2-spoke unit. What’s further interesting is that the SUV features a fixed-type single-pane glass roof, a 10-way adjustable driver’s seat and a slide-and-recline function for the second-row seats. The middle seat can be folded down to serve as a centre armrest.
