Maruti Suzuki Victoris brings a balanced blend of city-friendly efficiency, family practicality, and long-haul comfort, with multiple powertrains including petrol, strong hybrid, and factory-fitted CNG to suit varied usage and budgets. Positioned in the mid-size SUV space, it targets buyers who want premium features—like ADAS and a panoramic sunroof—without compromising on running costs or reliability expectations from the brand’s Arena network.
Powertrains and drive choices
- 1.5-litre K-series petrol with smart-hybrid assistance delivers everyday usability, available with a 5-speed manual or a smooth 6-speed automatic for stress-free city commutes and highway cruising.
- The strong-hybrid pairs a petrol engine with an electric motor and e-CVT, prioritizing stop-go efficiency and seamless low-speed response, which is ideal for dense urban corridors.
- S-CNG variants provide lower running costs and cleaner emissions with a factory-integrated setup and calibration, preserving boot practicality via an underbody tank arrangement compared to traditional cylinders.
Performance and efficiency
- Certified figures highlight the hybrid’s standout efficiency at up to 28.65 km/l, while the petrol manual and automatic post over 21 km/l under test conditions; the AWD automatic trades a bit of economy for added traction.
- The CNG variant is rated at 27.02 km/kg, appealing to high-mileage users who need predictable operating costs without sacrificing everyday usability.
Size, space, and practicality
- With a 4360 mm length, 1795 mm width, 1655 mm height, and a 2600 mm wheelbase, the Victoris strikes a neat balance between urban maneuverability and cabin room, backed by a 210 mm ground clearance for rough roads.
- A 45-litre petrol tank supports long drives, and the cabin packaging makes smart use of the footprint with multiple storage points, rear AC vents, and family-friendly conveniences.
Ride, handling, and braking
- A MacPherson strut front and torsion/twist-beam rear suspension tune comfort for daily use, while electric power steering and a 5.4 m turning radius make tight city parking less stressful.
- Disc brakes on all four wheels and available 17-inch alloys provide predictable braking and road holding under mixed conditions.
Safety and driver assistance
- Six airbags, ABS and ESC are provided, complemented by advanced assistance like Level 2 ADAS on higher trims, plus a 360-degree camera and front parking aids for low-speed confidence.
- Structural focus and equipment positioning aim for strong Bharat NCAP performance, aligning with segment expectations for occupant protection.
Cabin tech and comfort
- A large infotainment screen pairs with a fully digital driver display on higher variants, offering connected features and voice control to reduce distraction while accessing functions.
- Premium touches like ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, wireless charging, and a branded audio system elevate the in-cabin experience for long journeys and daily commutes alike.
Design and features
- Contemporary SUV proportions are enhanced by dual-tone options, 17-inch wheels, and the availability of a panoramic sunroof, while the 360° camera with multiple views simplifies life in tight parking bays.
- AWD availability with multi-terrain modes further widens the Victoris’ use case for buyers who encounter poor roads or weekend trail runs.
