Hold on to your hats, folks, because Maruti Suzuki has just dropped a bombshell in the Indian auto market! The much-awaited Maruti Victoris, a new mid-size SUV, has finally been launched, and it’s making some serious noise. This isn’t just another car; it’s Maruti’s attempt to change the game, especially in a segment dominated by some big players.
Launch Details and Pricing
The Maruti Victoris was officially unveiled on September 3, 2025, but the real news came on September 15th when the prices were finally announced. This new SUV is now available for booking, with sales set to begin from September 22nd. The pricing is super competitive, starting at ₹10.50 lakh and going all the way up to ₹19.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The car is available at all Maruti Suzuki Arena showrooms, and if you’re into the subscription model, you can get it for a monthly fee starting from ₹27,707.
One of the best things about the Victoris is the sheer number of options you get. The car is available in a whopping 21 variants, spread across six main trims: LXI, VXI, ZXI, ZXI(O), ZXI+, and ZXI+(O). Plus, you can pick from 10 different colors, including seven monotone and three dual-tone options. This ensures there’s a Victoris for every taste and budget.
Maruti has really thought about what Indian buyers need. The Victoris comes with three engine options: a 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol, a strong-hybrid, and a CNG variant. The strong-hybrid version is a real showstopper, promising a fantastic mileage of 28.65 kmpl! For those who love efficiency and low running costs, the CNG variant is a dream come true, giving you an impressive 27.02 km/kg. The best part? The CNG tank is cleverly placed under the body, so you don’t lose out on boot space! There’s even an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) option for the top-end models, perfect for those who want that extra grip.
Design and Features: A Real Upgrade
On the outside, the Maruti Victoris looks bold and modern, with a design that stands out from the crowd. But the real magic is on the inside. This car is packed with features you wouldn’t typically expect from a Maruti. We’re talking a Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) with over 10 safety features, a 360-degree camera, a smart powered tailgate, and a “Theatre on Wheels” sound system from Infinity by Harman with Dolby Atmos 5.1 Surround Sound. The cabin also gets a panoramic sunroof, a head-up display, and ventilated front seats, making every drive super comfortable.
Safety First: 5-Star Rating!
Maruti has been working hard to shed its old image of making unsafe cars, and the Victoris is proof of that. The car has scored a brilliant 5-star rating from Bharat NCAP for both adult and child occupant protection. It comes standard with six airbags and other safety features like ABS with EBD, TPMS, and electronic stability control, making it a truly safe family car.
The Maruti Victoris is stepping right into the ring with some of the most popular SUVs in the market. Its main rivals are the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and the Honda Elevate. It’s also expected to compete with its own cousin, the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, and even the Maruti Grand Vitara. With its competitive pricing, high-tech features, and impressive mileage, the Victoris is a serious contender.
The launch has created a massive buzz on social media. Car enthusiasts and potential buyers are thrilled about the 5-star safety rating and the ADAS features, which are a first for a Maruti car in this segment. Many are comparing the Victoris to its rivals and praising Maruti for finally bringing a feature-packed and safe car to the market. The general sentiment is that Maruti has hit a home run, and the Victoris is set to be a huge success.
