In the ever-competitive Indian SUV market, Maruti Suzuki has just raised the bar with the unveiling of the Victoris, a midsize powerhouse that's turning heads and redefining what's possible in affordable luxury. Launched as the flagship under Maruti's Arena lineup, this 4.3-meter beast slots neatly between the Brezza and Grand Vitara, promising a blend of efficiency, safety, and sheer wow-factor tech. Starting at an accessible Rs. 10.49 lakh (ex-showroom), the Victoris isn't just another ride—it's a statement. At its core are five industry-first features that make it stand out: a revolutionary twin-tank underbody CNG setup, Level 2 ADAS for smarter driving, an immersive 8-speaker Dolby Atmos audio system, a gesture-activated power tailgate, and Maruti's biggest-ever 26.03 cm digital display. Let's dive into what makes this SUV a game-changer.

Twin-Tank Underbody CNG: Efficiency Without Compromise

Gone are the days when opting for CNG meant sacrificing your boot space to a bulky tank. The Victoris introduces Maruti's first-ever twin-tank underbody CNG system, cleverly tucked beneath the chassis for a seamless 55-liter (water equivalent) capacity alongside a 45-liter petrol tank. This innovation frees up the entire 373-liter boot—perfect for weekend getaways or grocery hauls—while delivering an impressive combined range of over 1,000 km. Powered by a 1.5-liter engine churning out 88 PS and 121 Nm in CNG mode, it's mated to a five-speed manual for smooth, eco-conscious cruising. In a country where fuel costs bite hard, this setup isn't just practical; it's a breath of fresh air for green commuters.

Level 2 ADAS: Safety Meets Smarts

For the first time in Maruti's lineup, the Victoris brings Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to the masses, starting from select variants. This suite of over 10 intelligent aids includes adaptive cruise control that adjusts speed with traffic, lane-keeping assist to prevent drifts, and automatic emergency braking to spot hazards before you do. Backed by a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating and six standard airbags, plus a 360-degree HD camera, the Victoris wraps you in a cocoon of confidence. Whether navigating chaotic city streets or hitting the highway, these features make every drive feel less like a chore and more like a co-piloted adventure—especially welcome in India's unpredictable roads.

8-Speaker Dolby Atmos Audio: A Symphony on Wheels

Who says premium sound is reserved for luxury sedans? The Victoris transforms your daily commute into a concert hall with its debut 8-speaker Infinity by Harman system, enhanced by Dolby Atmos 5.1 surround sound. Picture this: four speakers, two tweeters, a center channel, and a subwoofer pumping out crystal-clear, 3D audio that envelops the cabin like a personal theater. Paired with wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Alexa voice commands, it's ideal for belting out playlists or catching podcasts. Add 64-color ambient lighting, and you've got an interior that's as vibe-y as it is versatile.

Gesture-Controlled Power Tailgate: Convenience at Your Fingertips

Loading up shouldn't be a hassle, and the Victoris gets it right with its hands-free smart power tailgate. A quick kick under the bumper or a wave of your hand triggers it open, complete with anti-pinch safety and multiple activation options via key fob or dashboard. Ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and wireless charging round out the comfort perks, ensuring even long hauls feel effortless.

Maruti’s Largest 26.03 cm Digital Display: Tech That Drives Itself

Capping off the innovation is Maruti's most expansive 26.03 cm (10.25-inch) fully digital instrument cluster, a crisp TFT screen that's a first for the brand. It pairs with a 10.1-inch SmartPlay Pro touchscreen for navigation, OTA updates, and Suzuki Connect telematics. Choose from petrol mild-hybrid (103 PS), strong hybrid (116 PS with e-CVT), or even ALLGRIP Select AWD for off-road thrills—the Victoris adapts to your life.

In wrapping up, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris isn't chasing trends; it's setting them. With these five trailblazing features, it delivers premium punch without the premium price tag, all while earning nods for its 19+ kmpl mileage and global export appeal. Bookings are open now—will this be the SUV that conquers your garage? Test drive one and find out.
