Maruti Suzuki has officially launched the Victoris, an all-new compact SUV that is now the flagship model for the company’s Arena dealership line-up. The SUV is designed to sit above the Brezza but slightly below the premium Grand Vitara, creating a strong bridge between the two popular models.

The highlight of this launch is not only its bold styling and advanced features, but Victoris has also scored a full 5-star safety rating in the Bharat NCAP crash test, demonstrating Maruti’s growing focus on safety and technology.

Bold And Distinctive Exterior

The design of the Victoris sets it apart from other Arena models. Up front, it features a sleek horizontal grille with chrome detailing, flanked by sharp LED headlamps positioned below slim DRLs. The bumper has a layered look with black inserts and a metallic skid plate, giving it an aggressive stance.

On the sides, the SUV features 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, square wheel arches with tough-looking cladding, and a sporty sloping roofline. The bold A, B, and C-pillars help create a floating roofline design, further enhancing its premium character. At the rear, integrated pixel-style LED tail lamps and a thick skid plate with silver accents further reinforce its SUV identity.

Feature-Rich Premium Cabin

Step inside the Victory, and it feels modern and upscale. The SUV is equipped with:

  1. A 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster
  2. A large touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
  3. Ventilated front seats for added comfort
  4. Automatic climate control with rear AC vents
  5. A panoramic sunroof, one of the largest in the segment
  6. 64-color ambient lighting system
  7. Wireless charging pad for convenience

The spacious cabin is designed to appeal to tech-savvy buyers who want to combine luxury and practicality in a compact SUV.

Safety-A Top Priority

Safety has been put at the forefront with the new Victory. The SUV comes standard with:

  1. Six airbags
  2. A 360-degree camera
  3. Strong body structure built for crash safety

Also, the Victory is Maruti’s first Arena SUV to be offered with Level-2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System), which includes features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist and emergency braking. This makes it not only safer but also more future-proof.

The 5-star Bharat NCAP rating further reassures families looking for a safe everyday SUV.

Engine and performance options

The Victory shares its mechanical setup with the Grand Vitara, offering buyers multiple choices:

  • 1.5-litre petrol with hybrid technology – balances efficiency with performance.
  • The 1.5-litre petrol is a powerful hybrid – with electric assistance – that offers better fuel economy and a smoother drive.
  • The 1.5-litre petrol-CNG variant – comes with a dual-tank underbody system that frees up boot space while ensuring a longer driving range.
  • Transmission options include both manual and automatic gearboxes, making it versatile for both city and highway users.

Variants and market positioning

Maruti is launching the Victory in six trims – Lxi, Vxi, Zxi, Zxi(O), Zxi Plus, and Zxi(O) Plus, so that there is a version for every type of buyer.

Once on sale, the Victory will compete with some of the strongest rivals in the compact SUV space, such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Tata Curve, and Skoda Kushak.
