Auto news India - Maruti Suzuki news

Both SUVs come with the same engine options under the hood, but have a couple of big differences in price comparison in a couple of particular variant-to-variant scenarios

Both get a near-identical feature set and come with the same engine-gearbox option. But which one offers better value for money?

The overall segment sales took a 7 percent hit in August 2025, with a decline of over 3,000 units compared to July 2025

The model snapped is the fully loaded ZXi trim in the SUV’s CNG lineup, given the presence of black alloy wheels, rear wiper and washer, and the dual-tone paint option

While all three rivals flaunt a 5-star Global NCAP rating, the Victoris has a much higher score than the Skoda-VW twins, especially for adult safety

Maruti is offering this safety tech only with the naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with the 6-speed automatic transmission

The Victoris is the second Maruti offering after the Dzire to get a 5-star rating from both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP

Total sales in August 2025 crossed the 3-lakh unit mark, of which more than 1.3 lakh units belonged to India’s largest carmaker alone

The Maruti Victoris is sold through the Arena chain of dealerships and is being offered in 6 broad variants: LXi, VXi, ZXi, ZXi (O), ZXi Plus and ZXi Plus (O)

The 5-star rating makes Victoris the second Maruti car after Dzire to get a 5-star safety rating in both Bharat NCAP and Global NCAP

Both MPVs get a more upright rear-end, along with a refreshed AC vent layout for the rear seats in both MPVs

While both the SUVs have the same set of powertrain choices and a nearly equal set of features, we decided to stack them up against each other to see which one comes out on top, at least on paper

In addition to GST-based announcements, one of India’s popular EVs has got an important safety update

Maruti dominated the sales chart in August 2025 with eight models out of the total 15 cars, and two cars each of Hyundai, Mahindra, Tata and Toyota

While the entry-level Victoris LXi looks more basic, it has all the necessary equipment like a 7-inch touchscreen, auto AC, and 6 airbags
