Maruti Suzuki e Vitara: Test Mule Spotted

As per the reports, this particular Maruti Suzuki e Vitara test mule was spotted testing in Gurgaon, Haryana. It was noted that this SUV was wearing a black wrap, and its rear lights were almost covered. However, despite this, it can be easily observed that this vehicle will look exactly like the model unveiled in Milan.

The model, which was globally unveiled a few weeks ago, was shown with a set of 19-inch aero-blade-style alloy wheels. Apart from this, it was noted that the charging port of this SUV will be located on the front left fender.

There will also be disc brakes on all four wheels, and it will feature a slightly sloping roofline that gives it a unique appearance. As stated, the rear taillights were almost covered. However, it can still be observed that they will boast a Y-shape. Lastly, it can be seen that the SUV will be offered with a hidden rear door handle located on the door itself.
