Maruti Ertiga EV – What’s Coming?

The automaker will be debuting in the EV space with its E-Vitara. Furthermore, it will try to expand the lineup, and amongst them, an electric version of its popular 7-seater could be on the list. Now, the details about the model are scarce at present. But we can always speculate. 

Talking about the design, we expect it to be similar to the current model – while boasting some EV specific changes like closed-off grille, new set of alloys and charging slots. Certainly, Maruti will utilize the same silhouette of Ertiga but on an updated architecture supporting EVs. It can be underpinned by the Heartect-e platform, underpinning the e Vitara.

Some features expected include – big touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, ventilated seats, wireless charging, wireless connectivity and more in its package. 

The battery pack details are not yet shared, but it can equip the base battery pack of 49kWh from the e-Vitara. Although things are at a speculative stage at present, more details will be revealed as we near the launch.
