Which Maruti Victoris variant you can consider?
We are yet to review the Victoris, but the strong-hybrid powertrain that the new SUV shares with the Grand Vitara is worth considering, especially for its superior ARAI mileage. As for the trim, even the base LXi covers the basics well, but we’d recommend the Victoris ZXI, which comes pretty well equipped with features like LED fog lamps, 17-inch alloy wheels, powered tail-gate with gesture control, leatherette seats, auto IRVM and 10.25-inch driver’s display.
While safety equipment like 6 airbags are standard on the Victoris, you may consider the ZXI+ trim, which has a Level 2 ADAS suite for added protection. It also offers niceties like front ventilated seats and a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen. Maruti has not announced prices for the Victoris at the time of writing, but a cost bracket of Rs 10.50 lakh to Rs 18 lakh, ex-showroom, is likely.
