The Maruti Suzuki Victoris starts at ₹10.49 Lakh ex-showroom and runs to ₹19.99 Lakh across 21 versions in three powertrains, and the one actually worth buying is the ZXi+(O) Petrol AT at ₹17.43 Lakh, not the pricier Strong Hybrid or AllGrip trims. The reason is one feature Maruti locked away: Level 2 ADAS comes only on the two 2WD petrol automatic trims, never on the hybrid, never on AllGrip AWD.
One honest note on the photo above: no openly licensed, real-world photo of the India-spec Victoris exists yet, so it shows the Suzuki Across, the same car badged for export, on a street in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The India car is mechanically identical, sold through Maruti’s Arena network instead.
Which Variant Is Actually Worth Buying
Buy the ZXi+(O) Petrol AT. At ₹17.43 Lakh ex-showroom, it costs just ₹9,100 more than the plain ZXi+ Petrol AT below it, and that buys a panoramic sunroof on top of everything the ZXi+ already has: Level 2 ADAS (forward collision warning, automatic braking, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control), a 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats, a head-up display and an 8-speaker Infinity system.
Skip the Strong Hybrid and AllGrip trims. The ZXi+ Strong Hybrid e-CVT is ₹19.52 Lakh, ₹2.18 Lakh over our pick, and the ZXi+ Petrol AT AWD is ₹18.69 Lakh, ₹1.26 Lakh over it. Both drop Level 2 ADAS entirely, on any trim. Want the safety kit? The automatic petrol is the only way in.
If ₹17.43 Lakh is more automatic than you need, the ZXi Petrol AT at ₹15.18 Lakh gets LED headlamps, 17-inch alloys, the 10.25-inch digital cluster and a powered tailgate, just without ADAS, the 360-camera or ventilated seats. And if running cost matters more, the LXi CNG MT at ₹11.55 Lakh costs ₹2,960 to run every 1,000 km against ₹4,720 for the petrol manual, on The Spec’d’s own running-cost figures, though it skips the 5-star crash rating (more below).
| Variant | Ex-Showroom Price | What It Gets You |
| ZXi Petrol AT | ₹15.18 Lakh | Automatic, LED lights, digital cluster, powered tailgate, no ADAS |
| ZXi+ Petrol AT | ₹17.34 Lakh | Adds Level 2 ADAS, 360-camera, ventilated seats, HUD |
| ZXi+(O) Petrol AT (buy this) | ₹17.43 Lakh | Same as ZXi+, plus a panoramic sunroof for ₹9,100 more |
| ZXi+ Petrol AT AWD | ₹18.69 Lakh | AllGrip AWD, but loses Level 2 ADAS |
| ZXi+(O) Strong Hybrid e-CVT | ₹19.99 Lakh | Top trim, hybrid powertrain, but loses Level 2 ADAS |
Claimed Mileage vs What Autocar India Actually Found
The Strong Hybrid’s 28.65 kmpl ARAI claim is genuinely class-leading on paper. Autocar India’s expert review, by Soham Thakur, scores the Victoris 8/10 and calls the Strong Hybrid “the standout powertrain” with a combined 116hp, but it reports ARAI figures only, not an independent test. No independent real-world mileage test of the Victoris has been published yet, so treat 28.65 kmpl as a lab number for now.
The same review is specific about the regular petrol’s limits: “the 1.5 petrol engine produces 103hp and 139Nm, which is adequate for city driving but lacks punch for quick overtakes.” It also flags a firmer ride on the Strong Hybrid, rear seat space that is “a tight squeeze for taller passengers or three adults,” a smaller boot on the Strong Hybrid from its raised battery floor, and no spare wheel as standard on any version.
| Powertrain | Claimed Mileage (ARAI) | Running Cost per 1,000 km |
| Strong Hybrid e-CVT | 28.65 kmpl | ₹3,490 |
| CNG, manual | 27.02 km/kg | ₹2,960 |
| Petrol, manual | 21.18 kmpl | ₹4,720 |
| Petrol, automatic | 21.06 kmpl | ₹4,750 |
| Petrol, automatic AWD | 19.07 kmpl | ₹5,240 |
Where the Victoris Loses to the Creta
The Victoris’ closest rival on this site is the Hyundai Creta, and Autocar India says the Victoris “competes strongly” with it rather than beating it outright. The Victoris counters with AllGrip AWD, which the Creta doesn’t offer at any price, and a claimed hybrid mileage nothing in the segment matches. It gives up rear seat space Autocar calls tight for three adults, a smaller boot on the Strong Hybrid, and no spare wheel on any trim.
Safety: the One Version the 5 Stars Don’t Cover
The Victoris carries a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating from 2025, 31.66 out of 32 for adult occupants and 43 out of 49 for children, matched by a 5-star Global NCAP rating the same year. That covers the Petrol and Strong Hybrid versions. It does not cover the CNG version, which Bharat NCAP has not crash-tested separately. If CNG running costs are why you’re looking at the Victoris, that is a real trade-off, not a footnote.
On-Road Price and EMI: What It Actually Costs
On The Spec’d’s own city price pages, the base LXi Petrol MT comes to about ₹11.64 Lakh on the road in Surat, the cheapest of the 39 cities priced, and ₹12.98 Lakh in Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada, the dearest. That ₹1.34 Lakh gap is almost entirely road tax: 6 percent in Gujarat against 18.7 percent in Andhra Pradesh.
The base variant works out to about ₹20,637 a month in Mumbai on 20 percent down over a 5-year loan at 9.5 percent, on The Spec’d’s EMI calculator. Step up to the ZXi+(O) Petrol AT this review recommends, and both the on-road price and the EMI rise with it.
If ₹17-20 Lakh is your real budget, it’s worth seeing where else that money goes: our full list of SUVs under ₹20 Lakh lines up the Victoris against everything else fighting for it.
What is the on-road price of the Maruti Suzuki Victoris?
The base LXi Petrol MT starts at ₹11.64 Lakh on-road in Surat, the cheapest of the 39 cities The Spec’d prices, and ₹12.28 Lakh in Mumbai. The recommended ZXi+(O) Petrol AT comes to about ₹20.3 Lakh on-road in Mumbai.
Does the Maruti Victoris come with ADAS on every variant?
No. Level 2 ADAS is limited to the ZXi+ Petrol AT and ZXi+(O) Petrol AT, the two 2WD automatic petrol trims. It is not available with the Strong Hybrid powertrain or the AllGrip AWD version, on any trim.
Is the Maruti Victoris CNG version safe?
The Victoris’ 5-star Bharat NCAP and Global NCAP ratings from 2025 cover the Petrol and Strong Hybrid versions. The CNG version has not been crash-tested separately by Bharat NCAP.
