Maruti Suzuki Victoris Wins Early Praise For Safety And Tech, ADAS Limited To Petrol-AT

Early tests portray a frugal, comfort-oriented SUV that trades off some high-speed stability.

Overview

  • Priced at Rs 10.49–19.99 lakh, the Victoris is offered in six trims with deliveries scheduled to begin on September 22.
  • Maruti’s first Level-2 driver-assist suite—adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking—is available only on the ZXi+ petrol 6AT and not on the strong-hybrid, CNG or manual variants.
  • The SUV secures five-star adult and child ratings from both Bharat NCAP and Global NCAP.
  • The lineup spans a 1.5L mild-hybrid petrol (5MT/6AT, optional AWD), a 1.5L strong hybrid (e-CVT) and a factory CNG, with claimed efficiency up to 28.65 km/l for the hybrid and 27.02 km/kg for CNG.
  • Rival checks show ADAS-equipped versions of the Creta, Elevate and Astor can undercut the Victoris, as reviews highlight its feature-rich cabin and audio quality alongside critiques of braking bite and high-speed steering poise.
