It’s just been over two weeks since the all-new Maruti Victoris went on sale in India, and it has already gathered 25,000 bookings so far. The high demand has translated into a waiting period of up to 10 weeks (70 days). Introduced as a direct rival to the Hyundai Creta, the Victoris comes with petrol, hybrid and CNG engine options, and several segment-first features. The SUV lineup is available in 6 trims (LXI, VXI, ZXI, ZXI (O), ZXI+ and ZXI+ (O)), priced between Rs 10.5 lakh – Rs 19.99 lakh (all, ex-showroom).
Buyers also have an option to purchase the Maruti Victoris through a monthly subscription scheme starting at Rs 27,707. This monthly rental covers the vehicle’s cost, registration, insurance, maintenance and roadside assistance.
