Step inside the Victoris, and you’ll find a cabin brimming with advanced features designed for comfort and convenience. Highlights include 8-way adjustable, ventilated front seats, a luxurious sunroof, and 60W fast charging support to keep your devices powered up. The SUV also integrates an intelligent auto Alexa voice assistant with AI capabilities and Suzuki Connect, offering over 60 connected car features. For added convenience, there’s a powered tailgate with gesture control, sophisticated ambient lighting, a crisp 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a responsive 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and an immersive 8-speaker surround sound system.
Prioritizing Safety: 5-Star Rating
Safety is paramount in the Victoris, which comes equipped with an extensive suite of features, including 6 airbags, disc brakes on all four wheels, an electronic parking brake, and a 360-degree camera. It also boasts Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) functionalities, such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with curve speed reduction, lane keep assist, high beam assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and blind-spot monitoring with lane change alert.
The Victoris has achieved impressive safety accolades, securing a 5-star safety rating from BNCAP. It scored an outstanding 31.66 out of 32 points for adult occupant safety and 43.00 out of 49 points for child safety. This commitment to safety is further affirmed by a 5-star safety rating from GNCAP, with exceptional scores of 33.72 out of 34 for adult occupant protection (AOP) and 41 out of 49 for child occupant protection (COP).
