These battery packs utilize lithium iron phosphate (LFP) blade cells produced by BYD and Tata.[7][8] The top variant of the e Vitara is equipped with the AllGrip-e all-wheel-drive system, offering 135 kW (181 hp; 184 PS) and 300 N⋅m (30.6 kg⋅m; 221 lb⋅ft) of torque, with adaptable drive modes tailored for various driving conditions. The eAxle technology, created in collaboration with Toyota, is integrated into the platform.[9][10]
