The new E Vitara is going to be Maruti Suzuki’s first all-electric product for the Indian market as well as globally. It has already been unveiled in Europe while the India debut is slated for Bharat Mobility Global Expo.
In case, somehow, you have not figured that the Urban Cruiser EV is to the e Vitara what the Glanza is to the Baleno, a one quick glance will confirm the same. The Urban Cruiser EV was unveiled for the European market last week and it’s also likely to make its India debut at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo. Let’s learn the differences between the two models, which are essentially the same.
E Vitara vs Urban Cruiser EV — Design difference
Comparing the design of both SUVs, most of the differences lie on the front profile. While Maruti Suzuki has taken a new design stance for the e Vitara, the Urban Cruiser EV takes its inspiration from the Camry and newer Toyota models in the way its headlights are designed. The front bumpers on both EVs are also different from each other. The rest of the design is more or less the same, with only the tail lights having lighting differences.
E Vitara vs Urban Cruiser EV — Dimensions comparison
Coming to the dimensions, the Urban Cruiser EV is 10mm longer and 5mm taller than the e Vitara, both of which are only because of the design. The overall dimensions and space will remain exactly the same and nothing big to make a perceptible difference.
On the inside, as expected, the interior dashboard design is the same for both SUVs. The only difference is the upholstery colour, which would vary from market to market for both the models.
Lastly, the specifications of both the E Vitara and Urban Cruiser EV are identical. Both SUVs will offer two battery pack options — 49kWh and 61kWh with the latter also offering the option of e-AWD. The power and torque output of both E SUVs stand at 184PS and 300Nm of torque.
