The upcoming Victoris has brought many surprises with its official unveiling. Positioned as the all-new Arena flagship SUV, it holds the title of being the first Maruti to feature ADAS (autonomous driver assistance system) suite and Dolby Atmos audio technology. It’s also the safest Maruti Suzuki to date, achieving a full 5-star safety rating at the Bharat NCAP. Similar to the Grand Vitara, the Maruti Victoris comes with petrol, petrol-hybrid and CNG engine options.

Top Features
The higher trim ZXI+ is exclusively offered with Level-2 ADAS, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, front ventilated seats, 4 speakers, Head-up display, 2 Type C front USB-C chargers, terrain modes (AWD) and machined cut 17-inch alloy wheels.
