How Does the Victoris Compare to Its Rivals?
The Victoris reached the 1 lakh milestone faster than the Grand Vitara, which took roughly one year to achieve the same figure. That said, it did not set the benchmark in its segment. The second-generation Hyundai Creta facelift, launched in mid-January 2024, reached the same mark in six months.
In the current fiscal year covering April and May 2026, the Victoris recorded 24,554 units, ranking it fourth among Maruti's UV line-up, behind the Fronx, Ertiga, and Brezza.
Out of them, more than 7 lakh UVs Maruti sold between August 2025 and May 2026, the Victoris accounted for a 14 per cent share.
Powertrains and Fuel Efficiency on Offer
The Victoris shares its powertrain options with the Grand Vitara, giving buyers three choices. The 103hp 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol is available with a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque-converter automatic, with top-spec variants also offering all-wheel drive.
The 116hp 1.5-litre strong-hybrid pairs with an e-CVT, while the 89hp 1.5-litre petrol-CNG comes with a 5-speed manual.
| Powertrain | Output | Transmission | ARAI Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strong Hybrid Petrol | 116hp | e-CVT | 28.56 kpl |
| CNG | 89hp | 5-speed MT | 27.02 km/kg |
| Mild Hybrid Petrol | 103hp | 5-speed MT | 21.18 kpl |
| Mild Hybrid Petrol | 103hp | 6-speed AT | 21.06 kpl |
| Mild Hybrid Petrol AWD | 103hp | 6-speed AT | 19.07 kpl |
Victoris vs Grand Vitara: Key Differences
While the two models share their underpinnings, they serve different buyer profiles. The Victoris is retailed through Maruti Arena dealerships, whereas the Grand Vitara is sold through the Nexa network.
The Victoris offers features the Grand Vitara currently misses out on, including an underbody-mounted CNG tank and Level 2 ADAS. The Victoris has also received a five-star Bharat NCAP rating, while the Grand Vitara is yet to undergo the same test. Ex-showroom prices for the Victoris range from Rs 10.77 lakh to Rs 19.72 lakh.
On the export front, the Victoris is sold globally as the Across, with 4,899 units shipped overseas as of March 2026. Should the current sales pace hold, the model is on course to exceed 1.5 lakh cumulative units in the coming months.
