Maruti Suzuki Victoris Goes Head‑to‑Head With Creta and Grand Vitara as Pricing Remains Unannounced

Coverage emphasizes fuel‑saving hybrids, a factory CNG option, Level‑2 ADAS, plus a boot freed up by an under‑floor tank.

Overview

  • The SUV has been unveiled on Maruti’s Global‑C platform alongside the Grand Vitara, with pricing yet to be announced and media estimates placing it around Rs 9.75–20 lakh ex‑showroom.
  • Powertrains include a 1.5‑litre mild‑hybrid with 5‑speed MT or 6‑speed AT, a 1.5‑litre strong‑hybrid with e‑CVT, and a 1.5‑litre CNG option, with all‑wheel drive available on select petrol variants.
  • Feature highlights span a panoramic sunroof, 10.1‑inch infotainment, 10.25‑inch digital cluster, 360‑degree camera, six airbags, adaptive cruise and other Level‑2 ADAS, with a five‑star Bharat NCAP rating reported.
  • A twin‑cylinder CNG tank mounted under the floor preserves luggage space, contrasting with the Grand Vitara’s in‑boot CNG placement.
  • Compared with Hyundai’s Creta, the Victoris is longer, wider and taller but forgoes turbo‑petrol and diesel options, positioning itself on value, efficiency and packaging rather than outright performance.
