The Victoris has also achieved a 5-star rating from BNCAP.
The Victoris will be offered with four powertrain choices:
With fuel efficiency figures going up to 28.65 kmpl for the Strong Hybrid and 27.02 km/kg for the CNG, the Victoris is expected to attract a wide range of buyers.
Given its mix of technology, hybrid efficiency, and premium features, the Victoris could likely be priced slightly higher than the Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. Expect Maruti Suzuki to price the Victoris from around ₹13 lakh and go up to ₹20 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
