Maruti Suzuki Victoris news

Maruti is offering this safety tech only with the naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with the 6-speed automatic transmission

The Victoris is the second Maruti offering after the Dzire to get a 5-star rating from both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP

The Maruti Victoris is sold through the Arena chain of dealerships and is being offered in 6 broad variants: LXi, VXi, ZXi, ZXi (O), ZXi Plus and ZXi Plus (O)

The 5-star rating makes Victoris the second Maruti car after Dzire to get a 5-star safety rating in both Bharat NCAP and Global NCAP

While both the SUVs have the same set of powertrain choices and a nearly equal set of features, we decided to stack them up against each other to see which one comes out on top, at least on paper

While the entry-level Victoris LXi looks more basic, it has all the necessary equipment like a 7-inch touchscreen, auto AC, and 6 airbags

Even after being the base variant, Maruti has given it sufficient styling and feature touches, including a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, to make it seem like a well-packaged offering

The VXi is the most affordable variant in the Victoris lineup to get a strong hybrid engine with both manual and automatic gearbox options

The Victoris’ exterior design looks very elegant and sophisticated, with plenty of modern design touches

While both Maruti Victoris and Kia Seltos are tech-loaded, they both come with distinct powertrain options catering to varied driving needs

Maruti has given the Victoris a fresh cabin design with a new steering wheel, ambient lighting, touchscreen and driver’s display, all of which come together to make it feel modern and upmarket

The Maruti Victoris is the carmaker’s second compact SUV that will be sold exclusively via the Arena showroom

The base-spec LXi variant gets most of the basics but comes packed with a decent features set, including a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, six airbags, and push-button start/stop

The first week of September 2025 was quite buzzing for the Indian automotive industry as it witnessed many launches and, most importantly, the revision in GST slabs

While the Maruti Victoris and Grand Vitara are larger and more feature-loaded SUVs, the Brezza still makes a strong case with its value-for-money appeal
