Maruti Suzuki has officially introduced the Victoris, a game-changing midsize SUV, in the Indian market, with pre-bookings now open. Set to be available in six distinct variants, this five-seater is poised to make waves through Marutiโs Arena dealership network. Priced competitively between Rs. 10 lakh and Rs. 18 lakh (ex-showroom), the Victoris shares some similarities with the Grand Vitara but stands out with a host of pioneering features never before seen in a Maruti Suzuki vehicle.
Cutting-Edge Infotainment and Connectivity
The Victoris is equipped with Marutiโs largest-ever 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, offering a seamless user experience. This advanced system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, integrates apps directly from the App Store, and enables over-the-air software updates for continuous improvements. It also features Alexa Auto Voice AI, unlocking over 35 voice-activated functions for effortless control. Complementing this is a 10.25-inch fully digital driver display, the largest of its kind in any Maruti vehicle, delivering crisp visuals and vital driving information. A sleek, newly designed three-spoke steering wheel adds a modern touch to the cabin.
Premium Audio and Ambiance
The Victoris elevates in-car entertainment with an eight-speaker Harman Infinity audio system, delivering immersive 5.1 Dolby Atmos sound. This setup includes four speakers, two tweeters, a center speaker, a subwoofer, and an eight-channel amplifier for crystal-clear audio. The cabinโs atmosphere is further enhanced by a 64-color ambient lighting system, allowing drivers to customize the mood to their preference.
Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance
For the first time, Maruti Suzuki introduces Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in the Victoris. This suite includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with Curve Speed Reduction, Lane Keep Assist, High Beam Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Blind Spot Monitoring with Lane Change Alerts, ensuring a safer and more confident driving experience. The SUV has also earned a prestigious five-star rating in Bharat NCAP crash tests, underscoring its robust safety credentials. Additional safety features include six airbags, a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) with Auto Hold, Hill Hold Control (HHC), and front and rear parking sensors.
Innovative Features for Convenience
The Victoris brings a segment-first gesture-controlled powered tailgate, making access to the cargo area effortless. A 360-degree camera system provides a comprehensive view of the surroundings, while a head-up display keeps critical information in the driverโs line of sight. The SUV also introduces a segment-exclusive 55-liter shielded CNG tank, designed to maximize safety without compromising the 330-liter boot space. Marutiโs Suzuki Connect platform offers over 60 connected features, including E-Call for emergency assistance, maintenance reminders, parking brake status alerts, and Suzuki Navigation with a โSend Trip to Carโ function for seamless trip planning.
Refined Interiors and Comfort
The Victoris features a sophisticated dual-tone black and ivory dashboard, crafted with premium soft-touch materials and distinctive trims for a luxurious feel. A dual-pane panoramic sunroof, the largest ever in a Maruti Suzuki vehicle, floods the cabin with natural light. The automatic climate control system comes with an AC display, a PM2.5 filter, and an auto-purify mode with real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) monitoring. Front ventilated seats, an eight-way power-adjustable driverโs seat, and paddle shifters add to the comfort and convenience, while multiple terrain and drive modes cater to diverse driving conditions.
Powertrain and Performance
The Victoris offers a versatile lineup of powertrains to suit varied preferences. Options include a 1.5-liter mild-hybrid petrol engine, a 1.5-liter strong hybrid petrol engine, and a 1.5-liter petrol/CNG engine. Transmission choices include a five-speed manual, a six-speed automatic, and an eCVT for smooth and efficient performance. The All Grip Select All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system, available exclusively with the VVT petrol engine and automatic transmission, ensures superior traction and control on challenging terrains.

Why the Victoris Stands Out
The Maruti Suzuki Victoris redefines expectations in the midsize SUV segment with its blend of cutting-edge technology, premium comfort, and top-tier safety. From its record-breaking touchscreen and digital cluster to its first-ever ADAS and gesture-controlled tailgate, the Victoris sets a new benchmark for Maruti Suzuki. With its competitive pricing, robust feature set, and versatile powertrain options, itโs poised to capture the attention of SUV buyers across India.
