Mumbai, Sep 3: Maruti Suzuki has officially unveiled its all-new Victoris SUV in India, positioned above the Brezza in the company’s arena line-up. Marketed with the tagline ‘Got It All’, the victoris is set to take on the competitive mid-size SUV segment. Bookings will begin soon, followed by an official price announcement.
Safety first: A landmark for Maruti Suzuki In a major breakthrough, the victoris has secured a 5-star BNCAP crash test rating, addressing a long-standing concern for the brand. The SUV comes with six airbags as standard, and for the first time ever, Maruti Suzuki introduces Level-2 ADAS in the Indian market through this model.
The ADAS suite includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with curve speed reduction, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring with lane change alert, rear cross traffic alert, high beam assist, and more. The SUV also offers disc brakes on all four wheels, along with an electronic parking brake and auto-hold function.
Drawing inspiration from the e-Vitara, the Victoris sports a bold design with a dual-tone split fascia, slender LED headlamps linked by a chrome strip, and uniquely styled foglamps. The side profile highlights its length with a large quarter glass and 17-inch aero-cut alloy wheels. At the rear, the SUV features connected LED tail lamps with a distinctive scattered glow pattern.
Measuring 4,360 mm in length, 1,655 mm in width, and 1,795 mm in height, the Victoris rides on a 2,600 mm wheelbase. Buyers can choose from 10 colour options, including two new shades – Mystic Green and Eternal Blue.
Inside, the Victoris gets a three-layer dual-tone dashboard, soft-touch instrument panel, textured upholstery, and piano black inserts for a premium feel. A standout is the 10.1-inch Smartplay Pro-X infotainment system paired with an 8-speaker Infinity audio system featuring Dolby Atmos. It also boasts a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster, a first for Maruti Suzuki.
Other features include ventilated front seats, an 8-way powered driver seat, gesture-controlled powered tailgate, wireless charger, 64-colour ambient lighting, PM2.5 air filter, 360-degree camera, front & rear parking sensors, and a hands-free powered boot.
The Victoris shares its powertrains with the Grand Vitara, offering two choices:
1.5L NA Petrol: 103 Hp, 139 Nm; available with 5-speed MT, 6-speed AT, AWD option, and factory-fitted CNG kit. 1.5L Strong Hybrid: 92.5 Hp, 122 Nm, paired with an e-CVT gearbox.
Mileage figures are promising – 21.18 km/l (MT), 21.06 km/l (AT), 19.07 km/l (AWD), 27.02 km/kg (CNG), and 28.65 km/l (Hybrid).
With a strong focus on safety, premium features, and multiple powertrain choices, the Victoris is expected to emerge as a serious rival to established mid-size SUVs like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
