It was revealed during the Bharat Mobility Expo and is a mid-size SUV with two battery options, having a 49 kWh and a larger 61 kWh pack. They both offer a good 500 km range. And no sparse-change on features, either, it has ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof and Level 2 ADAS, which is urban safety.

Maruti Suzuki Escudo: It is not a Vitara rebadged.
The name Suzuki has been heard in the international game, Escudo; the name is legendary in Japan. The Escudo (keep in mind not Victoris), will occupy the space between the Brezza and the Grand Vitara in India. Having the choice of hybrid powertrains and a price likely to be around ₹10 lakh, Escudo is serious business to the buyer looking to be versatile and pure value.

Special Insights – What is Different with e-Vitara and Escudo?
Design & Comfort: Urban Tech Adventure.
Visually, these aren’t boring. The e-Vitara introduces Y-shaped LED DRLs, funky 10.25 inch of infotainment, and digital instrument cluster – and that sunroof? Perfect for monsoon selfies. The Escudo is geared towards anything – consider daring creases, city-friendly roofline, and cabin seen to be efficient though luxurious.
The cabins of both SUVs are spacious (5-seaters), and e-Vitara have front ventilated seats, powered driver seat, 360-degree camera and a wireless smartphone connectivity. The Escudo matches the hybrid technology and safety gadgets (ADAS) which have ended up matching the Indian safety standards to the global standards.
Intimate Spin: Drive and Interior Feels.
It goes without saying that the play of Maruti revolves around no compromise after spending a relatively small portion of time in a test unit at the Expo. The digital cockpit of the e-Vitara is outright sci-fi – sharp screens, smooth touch responsiveness, and a number of charge points that will keep a family of gadget-obsessed people busy all day. It has smart storage, no clutter, and seats that comfort even at rush hour.
Range Anxiety? Not Anymore
The e-Vitara by Maruti Suzuki achieves a range of 500 km with a single charge may not appear like a stretch – at a minimum of a week between charges to most people in the tier-2 cities, without a charging cable. Besides, fast-charge technologies allow charging 20-80 percent in less than 45 minutes (with a DC fast charger), hence road trips are finally not unattainable in an Indian EV.

Review Round-Up: Worth It?
e-Vitara Review
Analysts refer to the e-Vitara as a game-changer. Customers boast of ease of city drives, exceptionally comfortable seats, and zero lag limitless torque. Critiques? The P Style costs more than the normal ICE SUVs, but purchasers are compensated – the long term benefits are actual and physical.

They are fond of such features as auto parking, a wireless charger, and the Harman audio system.

Escudo Review
Escudo is yet to make it on the road, but insiders are saying it is going to be an affordable, family-friendly SUV that will not only be what buyers desire but what they will actually take. Hybrid options prevail in areas that have sporadic charging systems, and it offers SUV capability with urban courtesies. The demerit: the lack of luxury touches as compared to e-Vitara. But even less than ₹12 lakh, it is a steal.
