Maruti Suzuki is preparing to launch the Victoris SUV, equipped with numerous features and targeting a broad consumer base. The car is designed to be a flagship SUV with safety-focused technology, as well as features appealing to younger drivers and families. The Victoris will be the first Maruti car to feature ADAS (Autonomous Driver Assistance System) for enhanced safety through automatic braking, lane keeping, and collision avoidance.
In addition, the SUV will have a Dolby Atmos audio system to enhance the listening experience. It has also secured a 5-star safety rating from Bharat NCAP. Engine options will include petrol, petrol-hybrid, and CNG variants.
**Booking Information**
Bookings for the Maruti Victoris SUV are currently open for a deposit of ₹11,000. While the official launch date is still pending, the car is anticipated to be available in showrooms before the Diwali festival. The company is planning a launch around Navratri (September 22nd to October 2nd) to coincide with the festive period.
**Variant Details**
Buyers can choose from six trims: LXI, VXI, ZXI, ZXI (O), ZXI+, and ZXI+ (O). The base LXI variant is well-equipped, featuring a 7-inch touchscreen, a 4.2-inch driver display, black-ivory interior upholstery, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice assistant, Type A front USB charger, push-button start/stop, a smart key, a pollen air filter, auto AC, rear AC vents, six airbags, ABS with brake assist, an electronic stability program, hill hold assist, a tire repair kit, Isofix child seat anchors, and three-point seatbelts for all passengers.
With an estimated price around ₹10 lakh, the base variant offers a cost-effective option, but some premium features will be absent.
**Safety and High-End Features**
The ZXI+ trim will offer Level-2 ADAS, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, front ventilated seats, four speakers, a head-up display, two Type-C front USB chargers, terrain mode (AWD), and machine-cut 17-inch alloy wheels. The ZXi+ (O) includes a panoramic sunroof. These high-end variants will have higher prices, potentially around ₹18 lakh (ex-showroom). The ZXI+ and ZXI+ (O) variants represent the most premium choices for buyers with higher budgets.
**Value-Driven Choice**
The best value-for-money variant will be clear after the price is announced. The Maruti Victoris ZXI stands out as a strong option with a 10.25-inch driver display, black-ivory interior upholstery, an automatic IRVM, blacked-out 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, DRLs, and fog lamps, in addition to the standard features of the lower trims.
