E Vitara PROS:

• A strong yet robust build quality, which provides confidence while driving it on highways.
• The compact size of the e Vitara makes it an ideal EV for regular urban commutes and parking it in tight spots. Perfect for small families.
• Steering is ultra-light, as it makes it easy to maneuver in the city.

• Handling is precise and accurate. Overall ride quality is decent and provides a comfortable ride.
• Excellent Audio System.
• Comfortable Front Seats with proper cushioning.
• One pedal driving is a blessing, especially in areas with heavy traffic and is very well calibrated.
• The driving is very easy in this car and you quickly get adjusted to it as the accelerator response is gradual. ECO mode is a boon for new drivers transitioning to EVs for the first time.

• The 7.2 kW charger is provided free of cost and users are eligible for free charging for 1 year at all Nexa Outlets.
• The rear seats can be adjusted for more leg room.
• As compared to other EVs in the market, it has excellent pricing.

E Vitara CONS:

• Dark interiors obstruct the light coming to the cabin and make it claustrophobic from the inside. There should be an option of lighter colour interiors as well.
• The rear seat under thigh support is very poor. Rear occupants may feel uncomfortable during longer journeys.

• Headroom is limited and you get the feeling of getting cramped inside. Three in the backseat is uncomfortable for longer rides.
• The boot space is very limited. Maruti could have managed it well and provided more to accommodate big suitcases.
• The visibility from IRVM is strictly limited due to the inclusion of a small rear glass and large back seat headrests. The 360 Degree camera comes to your rescue, but it is only available in the top-spec trims.
