Globally, the Maruti e Vitara gets two battery pack options – 49 kWh and 61 kWh.  The SUV primarily features a front-wheel drive (FWD) configuration. But the top-spec variants are available with an all-wheel drive (AWD) option. The smaller 49 kWh battery model produces 144bhp and 189Nm of torque. The most powerful variant is the dual-motor 61 kWh AWD version, delivering 184bhp and 300Nm. Now, the same was expected for the Indian market too.
