Maruti e Vitara vs Maruti Grand Vitara: Exterior And Interior Design Compared

The e Vitara features a completely different design language and includes EV-specific elements

The Maruti e Vitara was recently showcased in the production-ready avatar at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. It is set to become the first all-electric offering from Maruti, and cater to compact electric SUV space in India. Let’s see how the e Vitara compares to the Maruti Grand Vitara in terms of design, which is the automaker's compact SUV offering in the ICE (internal combustion engine) segment.

Front

The Maruti e Vitara has a completely different design approach compared to the Maruti Grand Vitara. While the e-Vitara features Y-shaped LED DRLs with traditionally placed headlights, the Grand Vitara gets three-piece LED DRLs and headlights positioned on the bumper. The Maruti Grand Vitara also sports a broader grille with a chrome bar, while the e-Vitara has a more aggressive bumper design and includes fog lights, which the Grand Vitara lacks.

Side

Unlike the Grand Vitara, the e Vitara looks more rugged thanks to its broader wheel arches and a side body cladding running along the entire length of the car. It gets aerodynamically designed alloy wheels. The Grand Vitara however looks more subtle in profile and features multi-spoke alloy wheels.

Rear

The Maruti Grand Vitara features connected LED tail lights, but the e Vitara has a completely different 3 piece LED tail lights setup connected via a black strip. Maruti’s electric SUV also features a blacked out bumper, meanwhile the Grand Vitara gets a prominent silver skid plate at the rear.
