Engine And Performance
The Victoris borrows its engine options from the popular Grand Vitara, giving buyers a wide range of choices.
The first option is a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, producing 103 hp and 139 Nm of torque. It comes with a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission. For added flexibility, Maruti Suzuki is also offering a factory-fitted CNG kit.
In higher trims, buyers can opt for the AllGrip Select AWD system with the automatic gearbox. This feature includes a Multi-Terrain Mode Selector with settings for Auto, Snow, Sport, and Lock, along with Hill Descent Control.
The second option is the 1.5-litre strong-hybrid engine, which delivers 92.5 hp and 122 Nm of torque. This hybrid setup is paired with an e-CVT gearbox and promises higher fuel efficiency.
Mileage Figures
Fuel efficiency remains one of the biggest selling points for Maruti Suzuki cars, and the Victoris is no exception.
The 1.5L petrol engine offers:
- 21.18 km/l with manual gearbox
- 21.06 km/l with automatic gearbox
- 19.07 km/l with AWD
The CNG variant delivers an impressive 27.02 km/kg.
Meanwhile, the strong-hybrid version is the most efficient, returning a mileage of 28.65 km/l, making it one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in India.
Safety And Features
The highlight of the Victoris is its 5-star safety rating, a first for Maruti Suzuki. This ensures the SUV is equipped with a strong body shell and modern safety technologies.
Apart from safety, Maruti Suzuki has loaded the SUV with advanced features across trims. Premium variants come with touchscreen infotainment, connected car technology, climate control, and more. Buyers opting for the AWD version will also enjoy off-road driving aids and enhanced stability.
Why The Victoris Matters
The launch of the Victoris is a big step for Maruti Suzuki. The brand has often been criticized for lagging behind in safety standards, but this SUV changes that narrative. By combining top-tier safety, multiple powertrain choices, and strong mileage figures, the Victoris has the potential to appeal to a wide segment of Indian car buyers.
Its starting price of Rs 10.50 lakh makes it competitive in the mid-size SUV market, where it will take on rivals like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, and Toyota Hyryder.
Final Verdict
The Maruti Suzuki Victoris is more than just a new SUV—it represents a shift in Maruti’s strategy. With safety now a top priority, combined with hybrid efficiency and CNG affordability, the Victoris is designed to win the trust of modern buyers.
For those seeking a safe, fuel-efficient, and feature-packed SUV, the Victoris looks like one of the most promising launches of 2025.
