The Suzuki Victoris is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) produced by Suzuki in India since 2025.[3] It was released on 3 September 2025 in India to complement the similarly sized Suzuki Grand Vitara.[4] The vehicle was developed by Suzuki using the Global C platform.[5]

In India, the model is exclusively available at the Maruti Suzuki Arena dealership chain, whilst the Grand Vitara is exclusively available at the Nexa dealership chain. It will be produced in India with export plans to more than 100 countries.

Features

The top-spec Victoris come equipped a 10.1-inch digital instrument panel, 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment screen, voice assistant through Amazon Alexa, Suzuki Maps with traffic and speed recognition, an eight speaker Infinity audio system with Dolby Atmos surround sound, panoramic sunroof, eight-way power-adjustable ventilated front seats, 64-colour ambient lights, and powered tailgate with gesture control.[6]

Markets

India

The Victoris in India is available in eight variants across FWD and AWD configurations, which are LXi, VXi, ZXi, ZXi (O), ZXi+, ZXi+ (O), ZXi+ 4WD, and ZXi+(O) AWD.[7]

Powertrain

The Victoris shares identical powertrain options with the Grand Vitara. This includes a mild hybrid model, marketed as "Smart Hybrid" by Suzuki, using the 1.5-liter K15C four-cylinder engine. For the strong hybrid model, the Victoris adopted the Toyota Hybrid System (marketed as "Intelligent Electric Hybrid" by Suzuki), which includes Toyota's 1.5-liter M15D-FXE three-cylinder engine.

A CNG-powered model is also available using the 1.5-liter K15C four-cylinder engine. It is equipped with an underbody CNG tank, making it the first passenger car in the world to adopt such CNG tank position.[8]
