Intro

The Maruti Suzuki Victoris is here, slotted between the Brezza and Grand Vitara as the Arena network’s new flagship and it’s clearly going after the Creta and Seltos with a mix of features and safety tech buyers ask for. That’s the “why now”: a 5-star BNCAP rating and Level-2 ADAS in a Maruti SUV that also offers hybrid and CNG options.

What’s new and why it matters

Maruti is expanding its compact/midsize SUV play with a model that combines mass-market pricing with segment-leading features like Level-2 driver assistance, Dolby Atmos audio and a powered tailgate – stuff that makes daily life easier. The Maruti Suzuki Victoris carries a Bharat NCAP 5-star rating, with scores of 31.66/32 for Adult Occupant Protection and 43/49 for Child Occupant Protection.

Powertrains with real-world choice

Under the hood, the Victoris gets a 1.5L petrol, a strong-hybrid setup and an S-CNG variant – covering efficiency-first commuters to highway cruisers. Indicative figures list up to 28.65 kmpl for the strong hybrid, around 21.18 kmpl for the petrol MT and 27.02 km/kg for S-CNG, so you have options for running costs.

• Petrol: 1.5L, ~103 PS/139 Nm; 5MT/6AT options; expected AWD on select trims borrowed from Grand Vitara.
• Strong hybrid: 1.5L with e-CVT, ~116 PS/141 Nm; up to 28.65 kmpl claimed.
• S-CNG: 1.5L with underbody tank, ~87 PS/121 Nm; 27.02 km/kg listed.

Cabin tech and everyday usability

The feature list is long: a fully digital 10.25-inch cluster, Alexa voice, 64-colour ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, powered driver seat and a powered tailgate with gesture control. Audiophiles get an Infinity Harman setup with Dolby Atmos and connected car users can access 60+ Suzuki Connect features.

Safety, ADAS and driver confidence

Beyond the 5-star BNCAP, the Victoris gets six airbags, ESC, ABS with EBD, hill-hold and seatbelt reminders standard; upper trims get a 360-degree camera and HUD. Level-2 ADAS joins the party to match or beat rivals on active safety, bringing lane and collision assist to the Arena flagship.

Design that says “new Maruti”

A horizontal grille, pixel-style LED DRLs over stacked LED headlamps and squared arches over 17-inch alloys gives it a planted stance without looking busy. The floating roof effect and the layered bumpers give it a more contemporary vibe, while its Grand Vitara-sized wheelbase hints at improved cabin room.

Price, positioning and rivals

Sitting above the Brezza yet below the Grand Vitara, the Victoris aims squarely at the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos with a blend of features, safety tech, and multiple powertrain choices. Pricing will be disclosed soon, with bookings already live through the Arena network; expect sharp entry tags, while hybrid and ADAS-equipped trims should overlap with top-end Creta/Seltos territory.

Closing note

For shoppers, the hook is simple: hybrid efficiency, CNG economy, ADAS features, and a 5-star safety rating in a Maruti SUV that doesn’t skip daily-use conveniences – exactly where this segment is heating up.
