Recently, a car structurally similar to the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara was seen on Gurgaon Road. The vehicle had no branding and was wrapped in anonymous tape. However, it was quite evident to identify that it was Suzuki’s upcoming e Vitara, launching in 2025. Here is the detailed information.
Maruti Suzuki e Vitara is the first EV from the Japanese brand, all set to make its debut in India in 2025. Recently, it was spotted on Sohna Road, Gurgaon in moderate traffic around 2 pm. The car was taped with a black label and had no brand association, disguising the identity. It was evident that the car was being tested anonymously for city driving. The driver was switching lanes and was accelerating through the traffic to examine the performance. Moreover, the condition of the vehicle seemed lousy, perhaps to avoid public attention.
