Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara to get 10 year battery warranty?

For the UK and Ireland markets, Suzuki recently announced a 10-year or 160,000-kilometer battery warranty; when the e Vitara is introduced in India, this warranty is probably going to be extended as well. It's interesting to note that Mahindra is providing a more extensive guarantee on the BE 06, spanning 10 years or 200,000 kilometers. The first private owners will even be eligible for a lifetime battery warranty. In contrast, the Hyundai Creta Electric and Tata Curvv EV both have a battery guarantee of 160,000 kilometers or 8 years.
