Maruti Suzuki eVitara E-SUV Design Highlights
The eVitara looks almost similar to the eVX concept and the test mules that have been snapped multiple times. Maruti has taken a conventional straight and upright approach unlike the curved coupe-design which seems to be the latest trend.
The hexagonal wheel arches and the c-pillar mounted door handles complements the side profile, while the shark-fin antenna adds to the modern aesthetics at the rear. The eVitara’s large tyre profiles and a long wheelbase will make it capable with off-roading. Overall, the eVitara looks a robust and solid SUV coming straight out from Maruti’s lot.
