Safety isn’t a luxury anymore—it’s a necessity. And guess what? Even Maruti is catching up. Their upcoming electric car is expected to score a solid 5 stars in crash tests. If this car aces the crash test, it’ll mark a major shift. Safe, affordable, and electric. Maruti is late in electric game, but it is well prepared!

When Tata dropped the Tiago and Tigor EV, people were like—why isn’t Maruti doing electric? Even Mahindra gave it a shot with the e-Verito. But Maruti? Quiet. No retrofitted electric experiments.

Fast forward to now—Hyundai just turned the Creta into the Creta EV. Still, no half-measures from Maruti. Instead, they played the waiting game. And guess what? 2025 is their moment.

Maruti is gearing up to launch the e-Vitara, their first proper electric SUV. No shortcuts, no quick fixes—just a well-timed move into the EV game. When it arrives, it’s gonna be a game-changer.

Why e-Vitara is Maruti's ace card in their hands

Maruti’s been playing it cool. No rush, no FOMO. While others jumped on the EV train early, Maruti patiently waited—and now, they’re ready to strike with the e-Vitara. It’s a premium electric SUV that carries the Vitara name—a badge already associated with style and performance through the Grand Vitara. Maruti knows this name holds weight, especially in the mid-size SUV segment, where cars like the Hyundai Creta and Grand Vitara dominate.

And that’s exactly the turf Maruti is targeting. The e-Vitara is coming straight for the buyers who want premium features, solid performance, and electric power.

Maruti isn’t just thinking electric—it’s thinking safe. Gone are the days when Maruti was all about squeezing out the best mileage. Now, they’re chasing safety stars because India demands it.

With rising awareness and stricter crash test norms, buyers aren’t settling for anything less than 5-star safety. And Maruti knows that. They can’t afford to let their "affordable but unsafe" tag stick around. The e-Vitara is their shot at flipping the narrative.

Maruti’s also playing the long game with brand value. For a company that’s been ruling Indian roads for decades, keeping trust intact is non-negotiable. The e-Vitara isn’t just about electrifying their lineup—it’s about proving they can deliver a car that’s safe, premium, and future-ready.

e-Vitara might get 5 star safety ratings

Ever since Fronx and Grand Vitara hit the roads, Maruti’s focus on safety has been crystal clear. They’re not cutting corners anymore. Even the new Dzire secured a 5-star rating while still delivering the fuel efficiency Maruti is famous for. So, it’s fair to expect the e-Vitara to follow suit. With a dedicated electric platform, Maruti will likely ensure reinforced battery protection and a robust body structure.

To get a 5-star safety rating, a car must ace several crash tests and safety checks. This includes frontal and side impact tests for adult protection and child seat safety with ISOFIX mounts. Cars are also tested for pedestrian safety, ensuring the front design reduces injury risk.

Advanced features like Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), and seat belt reminders for all passengers are now must-haves. Plus, the body structure should stay stable during crashes for maximum protection.

And guess what? e-Vitara is going to have it all—from a reinforced battery pack to advanced safety tech, making it a strong contender for a 5-star rating. Maruti isn’t cutting corners this time.
