Maruti Suzuki eVitara Gets First Price Hike Since Launch: Different Prices Hikes Across Variants
Maruti Suzuki has raised prices on the e Vitara, effective June 14, 2026. The hike is the first since the electric SUV's launch in late 2025 and affects specific variants by up to Rs 30,000. The Sigma and Delta variants, which are the entry-level configurations, have not been changed. The price increases are concentrated at the mid and upper variants.
The Zeta variant with the 49 kWh battery pack has gone up by Rs 20,000. The Alpha variant with the 49 kWh pack has gone up by Rs 25,000. The Alpha variant with the larger 61 kWh battery pack has increased by Rs 30,000. These are ex-showroom prices. On-road costs will vary by city depending on registration charges and insurance.
After the hike, the e Vitara range starts at Rs 17.49 lakh for the Sigma variant. The Delta sits above it, followed by the Zeta 49 kWh at its revised price, and the range tops out at approximately Rs 24.54 lakh for the Alpha 61 kWh, ex-showroom.
The BAAS variant, which is Maruti's Battery-as-a-Service option where you pay for the vehicle without the battery and pay separately for battery usage, has also seen increases of Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 depending on the variant. The BAAS structure was designed to lower the initial purchase cost for buyers who are uncertain about long-term battery ownership, and even after the hike, it remains the lowest entry point into the e Vitara range.
The e Vitara has been selling at a clip of approximately 2,000 to 2,500 units per month since its launch, with the 49 kWh variants, specifically the Zeta and Alpha, accounting for the largest share of bookings. Maruti began exporting the e Vitara from August 2025 and had crossed 10,000 cumulative export units by December 2025, with the UK and select European markets as the initial destinations.
The export volume adds to the overall production run and suggests that Maruti is not facing a demand problem on this model. A first price hike seven to eight months after launch, on the back of steady domestic and export volumes, is standard practice rather than a distress signal.
Maruti has also increased prices on other models in the same revision. The Baleno has seen a Rs 5,700 increase, the Ertiga has gone up by Rs 8,500, and the XL6 has increased by Rs 10,000. The e Vitara's increases are at the higher end of Maruti's June revision, reflecting input cost pressure at the larger battery pack configurations, where cell costs are the dominant variable.
The eVitara was positioned at launch as one of the competitively priced electric SUVs in the Rs 17 to 25 lakh bracket. After the hike, it continues to compete directly with the Hyundai Creta Electric, priced from Rs 17.99 lakh to Rs 23.50 lakh, and the Tata Curvv EV, ranging from Rs 17.49 lakh to Rs 22.49 lakh.
The Mahindra BE 6e starts at Rs 18.90 lakh. The e Vitara's revised Alpha 61 kWh at Rs 24.54 lakh sits marginally above the Creta Electric's top trim and above the Curvv EV's ceiling, which means buyers at that price point will cross-shop it against the BE 6e rather than just the Hyundai and Tata.
The 61 kWh variant offers a claimed ARAI range of 500 km against the 49 kWh variant's claimed 400 km. For buyers who do significant inter-city driving, the Rs 30,000 increase on the 61 kWh Alpha is unlikely to be a deal-breaker given the Rs 100 km range differential. For buyers who stay within city limits, the 49 kWh Zeta or Alpha remain the more relevant choice.
