Maruti Suzuki e Vitara battery warranty details
Suzuki’s first electric car was unveiled globally last year, while it was displayed in India earlier this year at the Bharat Mobility Expo.
Now, ahead of its official launch in the global markets, Suzuki has announced that it will offer a 10-year standard warranty on the battery of the e Vitara.
With such an extensive warranty period for the battery, Suzuki will be able to instil confidence among new buyers of the e Vitara globally. However, the company has not revealed whether it will provide the Indian-spec car with the same warranty period.
The e Vitara is based on Suzuki’s tried and tested Heartect-e platform, which has been specifically built to house the battery and electric motors with safety and efficiency.
The e Vitara will be offered with two battery pack options globally: 49 kWh and 61 kWh. Both battery pack options are LFP (lithium-ferro-phosphate).
The 49 kWh battery pack produces 142 bhp and 192.5 Nm of peak power and torque, along with a single front-axle-mounted electric motor.
Meanwhile, the 61 kWh battery pack produces 172 bhp and 300 Nm for the FWD electric motor and 181 bhp and 300 Nm for the dual-motor AWD version. The latter drivetrain will not be launched in India.
The Japanese carmaker will launch the e Vitara in India later this year. Upon its debut, it will rival the Hyundai Creta Electric and Tata Curvv Electric.
