While drawing inspiration from Maruti’s renowned SUV lineage, the Victoris carves out its own distinct identity.

Notably, it boasts superior length compared to the Grand Vitara, translating into an even more spacious and comfortable cabin. Design-wise, the SUV showcases a sharper, more modern aesthetic, highlighted by sleek LED headlamps, integrated connected tail-lamps, and clean body lines with minimal cladding. Other premium exterior elements include stylish 18-inch alloy wheels, striking blacked-out pillars, elegant silver roof rails, a contemporary LED light bar, and bold ‘VICTORIS’ lettering prominently displayed at the rear.
Step inside, and the Victoris welcomes you with an array of premium features designed for ultimate comfort and convenience. Highlights include 8-way adjustable, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and rapid 60W fast charging support. The SUV also integrates an intelligent auto Alexa voice assistant with AI capabilities, Suzuki Connect offering over 60 connected car features, a powered tailgate with intuitive 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.
Safety is paramount in the Victoris, which comes equipped with 6 airbags, disc brakes on all four wheels, an electronic parking brake, and a 360-degree camera for enhanced spatial awareness. Furthermore, it incorporates advanced Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) features 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 an outstanding 5-star safety rating from BNCAP, scoring an impressive 31.66 out of 32 points for adult occupant safety and 43.00 out of 49 points for child safety. It also holds a 5-star safety rating from GNCAP, with an exceptional Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) score of 33.72 out of 34 and a Child Occupant Protection (COP) score of 41 out of 49.
Under the hood, the new Victoris provides versatile powertrain options: a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, naturally aspirated (NA) petrol engine, and a more eco-friendly 1.5-litre strong hybrid petrol engine. The 1.5-litre NA engine delivers a robust 103 hp of power and 139 Nm of torque, paired with a choice of a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
