Maruti Victoris SUV Unveiled: 5-Star Safety, ADAS and Twin-Tank CNG
Maruti Suzuki has pulled the covers off the Victorís, a brand-new flagship compact SUV under its Arena dealership chain. Positioned between the Brezza and the Grand Vitara, the Victoris aims to woo buyers with premium design, advanced tech, multiple fuel options, and top-class safety.
The biggest highlights? It’s the first Maruti SUV with Level-2 ADAS and the first to feature an underbody twin-tank CNG setup. Adding to that, the Victoris has already bagged a 5-star Bharat NCAP crash safety rating, making it one of the safest Maruti models to date.
Bold Exterior Design
The Victoris comes with a fresh design philosophy that blends sportiness with elegance. Key styling highlights include:
- Bold horizontal chrome grille with sharp LED headlamps
- Pixel-style LED DRLs positioned above the headlights
- Layered bumper with skid plate accents
- 17-inch alloy wheels on lower trims; 18-inch alloys on higher trims
- Squared-off wheel arches with rugged black cladding
- Floating roof with blacked-out pillars
- Pixel-style connected LED taillamps at the rear
The result? A commanding road presence that feels both rugged and premium — perfect for city buyers looking for style with substance.
Premium Interior & Features
Step inside, and the Victoris promises a tech-loaded, comfortable cabin. Some of the top features include:
- 10.1-inch SmartPlay touchscreen with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- 10.25-inch fully digital driver display
- Panoramic sunroof for an airy, premium feel
- 64-colour ambient lighting
- Ventilated front seats, rear AC vents & auto climate control
- Wireless phone charging and multiple USB-C ports
- Dual-tone premium upholstery options
This blend of features positions the Victoris as a premium family SUV under Maruti Arena portfolio.
Safety: Best-in-Class
Safety is a clear focus for Maruti with the Victoris. Highlights include:
- 6 airbags as standard across all variants
- 360-degree camera system
- Level-2 ADAS with adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, forward collision warning & emergency braking
- 5-star Bharat NCAP crash rating, only the second Maruti after the Dzire to secure the highest score
This makes the Victoris not just feature-rich, but also one of the safest SUVs in its class.
Engine & Powertrain Options
Borrowing powertrains from the Grand Vitara, the Victoris offers three choices:
- 1.5L Mild Hybrid Petrol – 103 PS, 137 Nm | 5-speed MT / 6-speed AT
- 1.5L Strong Hybrid Petrol – 116 PS combined, 141 Nm | e-CVT
- 1.5L Petrol-CNG – 88 PS, 121.5 Nm | 5-speed MT
The standout is the twin-tank underbody CNG system, which frees up boot space — a first for Maruti Suzuki.
Variants & Trims
The Victoris will be sold in six trims:
- LXi
- VXi
- ZXi
- ZXi(O)
- ZXi Plus
- ZXi(O) Plus
This ensures a wide spread from affordable entry-level options to feature-packed premium trims.
Expected Pricing
While Maruti has not yet announced official prices, industry estimates suggest the Victoris could start at around ₹10 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base petrol and stretch up to ₹18 lakh for the fully-loaded strong hybrid variant.
Why the Victoris Matters
With the Brezza dominating sub-4m SUVs and the Grand Vitara targeting Nexa customers, the Victoris fills an important gap. It brings safety, tech, and CNG practicality into the Arena portfolio, aimed at young buyers and families alike.
By blending a 5-star safety score, ADAS, multiple fuel choices, and premium features, Maruti is sending a strong message: the Victoris is here to compete head-to-head with Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Toyota Hyryder.
