Ahead of its debut at the upcoming Bharat Mobility Expo, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara has been spotted on Indian roads, offering a peek into its interior for the first time. The most recent leaked images reveal a premium cabin with a two-spoke steering wheel and dual integrated screens. It has a two-tone theme and a revised dashboard arrangement that adds to its new, high-end vibe. For those unaware, the e-SUV has already made its global debut and is equipped with several features ventilated front seats, automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, a head-up display, and a wireless phone charger. However, it is still unclear right now if these features will be included in the India-spec model or not.
