How To Book The e Vitara
Alright, first step Nexa online booking. Punch in your name and mobile number. Click proceed. OTP arrives. Verify. Pick your color, variant. Choose a dealership. Fill the remaining details. Pay Rs 21,000. Boom, booking done. Dealer calls when car hits showroom. Simple? Kinda. But
Let me tell you a story. Back in 2024, I booked an X EV online. Payment went through, but OTP delayed. Heart raced. Stress level high. Took a call to the dealer to fix it. Lesson? Patience. And be friendly with the dealer. Trust me.
First Look Exterior And Interior
Walk up to the car bam! Muscular bumpers, body claddings, Y-shaped LED DRLs. Headlights sharp. Taillights match. Road presence? Strong. I remember seeing it at a showroom and thought This one is different. People do notice.
Inside is slick. Dual-tone black-tan, dual-spoke steering wheel. Dashboard? Two screens 10.1-inch digital cluster, 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen. Rear seats roomy. Sliding, reclining. Sunroof. Ventilated front seats. Ambient lighting. Infinity sound system. Ride-by-wire. Drive modes. Honestly, feels like Maruti finally said We get it.
Safety Stuff
5-star Bharat-NCAP rating. Seven airbags. Level-2 ADAS. Blind-spot alerts front and rear. 360-degree camera. Auto-hold parking brake. ABS with EBD, ESC, TPMS. My friend drove his EV before, he swears by ADAS. And he gave a thumbs up for this setup too. Comfort? Safety? Check and check.
Powertrain And Range
Two battery packs. Front-wheel drive, single motor. 49 kWh – 144 PS, 193 Nm, 344 km claimed. 61 kWh – 174 PS, 193 Nm, 426 km claimed. Company says WLTP range. Me? I remember X EV claimed 500 km, real world barely 380 km. So yeah, take claims with a pinch of salt. And charging? I waited 20 mins once for a fast charger in Hyderabad. Small wait, but daily life matters.
