While Maruti Suzuki has been delaying the launch of the e-Vitara in India, Suzuki has launched the vehicle in the United Kingdom. The Indian-exported electric vehicle starts at £29,999 (around Rs. 35 lakhs) for the baseline Motion variant with the smaller 49 kWh battery pack. In India, the car is expected to be available in September, from Rs. 17 lakhs (ex-showroom) onwards.
