Exterior

The exterior of the Victoris follows a very mature and clean design philosophy. At the front, you have a sleek chrome strip connecting both headlamps with DRL’s. The lower part of the bumper gets chunky cladding and vertical cuts to house the foglamps giving it a simple, yet interesting look.

As for the side profile, Maruti has employed a lower estate-ish stance which, along with the chunky cladding and 17-inch dual-tone alloys give the Victoris a crossover-like stance. At the rear, it features a flat profile with a raked windshield. The taillamps have been arranged as a LED strip that are segmented going across the width of the car. 

Interior

Maruti has designed the interior of the Victoris to appeal to a younger set of buyers. This means it gets a free-standing touchscreen infotainment system and it can be had with either a dual-tone white and black theme (NA petrol) or an all-black theme with champagne gold inserts (strong-hybrid). The dashboard also comes with soft touch leatherette inserts to lend itself a more premium look. It also gets a new steering wheel and climate control knobs, giving it a breath of fresh air.

Maruti has thrown all it can at the Victoris in terms of the equipment list. It gets features such as a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, ventilated front seats with 8-way power adjustment for the driver, panoramic sunroof, wireless smartphone charger, heads-up display and an 8-speaker Infinity sound system.

Safety-wise, the Victoris gets 6 airbags, all-wheel disc brakes, electronic stability control (ESC), hill hold assist, and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Maruti also offers a Level 2 ADAS suite which includes features such as Auto Emergency Braking(AEB), Lane Keep Assist(LKA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Adaptive Cruise Control(ACC). Notably, the Victoris has also scored a 5-star rating in both the Bharat NCAP and Global NCAP crash tests proving Maruti’s commitment to safety of its customers.
