Expert Review

Maruti&rsquo;s second mid-size SUV offering goes on sale from Rs 10.49 lakh onwards. To be sold via Arena outlets, the Victoris is essentially a more affordable Grand Vitara and gets the same engine options. It is also Maruti&rsquo;s first offering with an underbody CNG tank. It has been awared 5 star safety rating as per GNCAP

<ul>
	<li>The Victoris comes with a modern design, featuring plenty of trending elements. The front section consists of a split-pattern treatment seen on most new cars, featuring a full-length light strip connecting the headlamps, with the actual grille not on the nose of the car, but placed lower down instead. The higher variants will also see the addition of fog lamps. The full-length strip at the rear will remind you of the e Vitara, and the tailgate has been kept clean. 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>From the side, the Victoris gives the appearance of a grown-up Brezza, and it appears every bit recognizable as a Maruti Suzuki. It gets conventional pull-type door handles, and the roofline towards the rear might remind you of something larger. The Victoris comes with 17-inch wheels across all variants, and the alloy rims appear derived from the e Vitara.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>The Victoris borrows its set of powertrains from the Grand Vitara, giving customers an option to choose from three different units. The 1.5 litre, mild-hybrid nat-asp petrol is likely going to be the most popular one, producing 101.6bhp and 139Nm of torque, paired to a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter. The all-wheel drive version will be available exclusively with the automatic. 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>There is also the strong-hybrid setup, which combines the 1.5-litre petrol with an AC motor. Together, this setup produces 113.9bhp and 141Nm of torque, with an e-CVT sending power to the front wheels. Lastly, those seeking extra efficiency can go for the CNG version, producing 86.6bhp and 121.5Nm of torque in CNG mode, paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>Maruti Suzuki claims the Victoris delivers claimed mileage figures of 21.18 kmpl with the 5-speed manual transmission, 21.06 kmpl with the 6-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, 19.07 kmpl with all-wheel drive, and 27.02 km/kg with the S-CNG unit.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>The Victoris gets a significantly different interior setup compared to most Maruti Suzuki cars. There is a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and&nbsp;the steering wheel is also slightly different, as it does not feature the chrome roundel seen on most other Maruti cars. This is also a properly round steering wheel, as opposed to the now-familiar flat-bottom unit. 
	&nbsp;</li>
	<li>In terms of features, the Victoris also gets things not seen before in a Maruti car. These features include three driving modes, an electronic parking brake, a Level 2 ADAS suite, an 8-way power-adjustable driver seat, 64-colour ambient lighting, an 8-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, a powered tailgate, two interior colour themes, Alexa connectivity, and an underbody CNG tank among other things.</li>
</ul>

The Victoris comes with 64-colour ambient lighting, which is something not seen on Maruti cars before, with the Honda Elevate Black Edition being among the other few rivals to offer such a feature in this segment.

The Victoris is also among the first Maruti Suzuki cars to offer an underbody CNG tank, which adds practicality and eliminates the inconvenient factor usually associated with CNG-powered cars, that otherwise don’t offer much boot space.

The Victoris comes equipped with an all-wheel drive system, which is reserved exclusively for the automatic transmission variants; a 6-speed torque converter unit. It is also the first Maruti car to get an electronic parking brake

The Victoris comes with ventilation for both the front seats, which helps keep things cool during the ambient, hotter seasons. 

The 10.1-inch touch screen infotainment system makes an appearance for the first time in a Maruti Suzuki car, which offers a familiar UI setup that is clear and sharp.

This is the first time that a Maruti Suzuki car comes with a Harman Kardon surround sound system, which, based on prior experience, offers a decent sound experience with enough clarity and depth.

The Victoris comes with a Level 2 ADAS suite, which is yet another first seen on a Maruti Suzuki car, thus further enabling it to compete against the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.

The Victoris has become one of the few cars in its segment to offer an 8-way power-adjustable driver seat, and both seats also come equipped with ventilation.

The Victoris is also one of the few cars in this segment to come with a powered tailgate, which adds convenience when your hands are loaded with luggage and you need to access the boot.

The 360-degree camera makes things easy when you have to drive the car in tight spaces, as it offers a good view of what is around your car. The camera quality is decent and clear.

Various powertrains - petrol, CNG, Hybrid, AWD

Underbody CNG kit makes boot very useable 

Neutral ride & handling with please most buyers

Not the most engaging to drive - neutral handing, avg performance

AWD reserved for higher versions & expensive
