Aiming to strengthen its SUV game, Maruti Suzuki is all set to introduce two new SUVs – the Victrois and the e Vitara. The carmaker has confirmed that both models will go on sale this financial year – i.e. by March 2026. However, their official launch dates are yet to be announced. The Maruti Victrois is the company’s second midsize SUV, challenging the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. The e Vitara, on the other hand, will be the first electric offering from Maruti Suzuki, rivalling the Hyundai Creta Electric, MG ZS EV and Tata Curvv EV.
Maruti Victoris
The Victrois will serve as the new flagship product for Maruti’s Arena network, and will be offered in six trims – LXI, VXI, ZXI, ZXI (O), ZXI+ and ZXI+ (O). It’s the safest Maruti Suzuki car yet, achieving a full 5 stars safety rating at the Bharat NCAP. The carmaker has equipped the Victrois generously with several premium features including a larger 10.25-inch infotainment system, a digital driver’s display, 8-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat, a panoramic sunroof, connected car tech and more.
The Maruti Victoris is the brand’s first model to offer 8-speaker sound system with Dolby Atmos tech and Level-2 ADAS suite. On the safety front, it also offers 6 airbags and electronic stability control as standard. Higher trims additionally offer a tyre pressure monitoring system, a 360-degree camera and ADAS features.
Maruti e Vitara
Based on a skateboard platform, the Maruti e Vitara will come with two battery pack options – 49kWh and 61kWh, paired with 143bhp and 173bhp front-axle mounted motors, respectively. Maruti Suzuki has confirmed that its upcoming electric SUV will deliver an MIDC-rated range of over 500km on a full charge. The e Vitara features an upright stance with sharp ceases and large alloy wheels. The EV will be made available in 10 monotone and 4 dual-tone colour options.
Inside, the Maruti e Vitara features a floating 10.25-inch infotainment, a 10.1-inch instrument cluster, rectangular AC vents with brushed silver surrounds, two-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, a semi-fabric and semi-leatherette upholstery, a 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat, wireless smartphone connectivity, wireless phone charger, 7 airbags, Level-2 ADAS and more.
