Maruti Suzuki Victoris Enters Arena Showrooms With Level‑2 ADAS, Undercuts Grand Vitara

Early reviews highlight hybrid efficiency with advanced driver assistance.

Overview

  • Priced from Rs 10.49 lakh ex-showroom, the Victoris is positioned below comparable Grand Vitara trims and becomes the most affordable strong-hybrid option in the segment.
  • Sold through Maruti’s mass‑market Arena network, the SUV shares its platform, 1.5‑litre petrol engines, strong‑hybrid setup, and optional AllGrip AWD with the Grand Vitara.
  • Feature highlights include Level‑2 ADAS with autonomous emergency braking and lane‑keep assist, twin 10‑inch‑class displays, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and an 8‑speaker Infinity system with Dolby Atmos.
  • The strong‑hybrid pairs a 1.5‑litre Atkinson‑cycle engine with an e‑CVT for 116 hp and 141 Nm, with ARAI efficiency of 28.65 kmpl and reported real‑world figures around 22–25 kmpl.
  • Safety kit lists six airbags, ESP and a 360‑degree camera, with reported five‑star Bharat and Global NCAP ratings; reviewers note firm ride, tighter rear space and engine drone at higher revs, and the CNG variant uses an underbody tank to preserve boot room.
