Maruti Victoris LXi Base Variant Explained In 10 Images

Even after being the base variant, Maruti has given it sufficient styling and feature touches, including a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, to make it seem like a well-packaged offering

Ever since the Maruti Victoris SUV debuted, it has generated a lot of buzz online and even among new car buyers. It is a new compact SUV that will be sold via Maruti’s Arena chain of showrooms, and will be positioned between the Brezza and Grand Vitara in the carmaker’s SUV lineup. Maruti will be offering it in four broad variants: LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi Plus. In this story, let’s check out its base-spec LXi variant in 10 images:

Given its positioning in the variant lineup, the LXi comes with some basic touches such as halogen headlights and halogen positioning lamps. It also misses out on all-LED projector headlights and even fog lamps. The LXi variant has a chrome strip running from one headlight cluster to the other while featuring the Suzuki logo in the centre. Lower down, you can notice that it gets a silver-finished skid plate housed in the chunky-looking black bumper.

Side

The LXi variant of the SUV is provided with blacked-out outside rear view mirrors (ORVMs) featuring turn indicators, 17-inch steel wheels with covers, and black door handles. It’s also from this angle that the chunky body cladding and muscular wheel arches become more noticeable. That said, one of the features missing on this trim is roof rails due to the LXi variant’s positioning in the lineup.

Rear

While the Victoris has a connected tail light setup, the central piece here does not feature illumination as seen on the higher-spec variants. Other prominent characteristics at the back include the ‘Victoris’ moniker, the Suzuki logo and the mild-hybrid badge, as well as the silver-finished skid plate. Being the base-spec variant, Maruti has not equipped the LXi trim with either a wiper or a washer at the rear.

Interior

If you have seen Maruti cars over the years, you would know how stripped-down versions the base-spec variants usually have been, both inside and out. Thankfully, Maruti has chosen to offer more than just the very basics for the Victoris on the inside of the base-spec LXi variant to make it a decent-looking cabin and it even flaunts some honeycomb-like pattern trims on the dashboard and door pads.

It gets a Black and Ivory dual-tone cabin theme with multiple silver accents. Maruti is also providing it with piano black inserts on the dashboard and door pads, black fabric seat upholstery, and adjustable headrests for all seats. You will also notice a front centre armrest with storage and a new 3-spoke steering wheel with integrated controls, a first on any Maruti car.

At the back, it not only gets adjustable headrests for all three passengers, but Maruti has also given it 3-point seatbelts for each occupant. There’s also a 60:40 split-folding functionality for the rear seats, AC vents for the rear occupants, and a rear armrest with cupholders.

In terms of features, the Victoris LXi packs a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, and a semi-digital instrument cluster. Other equipment on offer includes push-button start/stop, a dual-speaker setup, tilt and telescopic adjustment for the steering wheel, and a cabin air filter.

One area where Maruti hasn’t skimped on equipping the Victoris well with features is the safety department. The Victoris is loaded with six airbags, electronic stability programme (ESP), hill-hold assist, traction control system, rear parking sensors, ISOFIX child seat mounts, and a rear defogger as standard.

Powertrain Choices

Although the Victoris has a choice of three engines, with plenty of transmission options, its base-spec LXi variant is offered with just two engine-gearbox combinations. Your first choice is a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine with mild hybrid tech (103 PS/ 137 Nm) mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and a front-wheel drivetrain (FWD). The other is the same engine with an optional CNG kit, wherein the powertrain’s output produces 88 PS and 121.5 Nm. It also comes with a 5-speed MT and a FWD setup.

Expected Price And Rivals

The Maruti Victoris, which is expected to go on sale sometime around Diwali 2025, could have a starting price tag of Rs 9.75 lakh (ex-showroom). It will serve as a competitor to the likes of the Maruti Grand Vitara, Kia Seltos, Honda Elevate, Hyundai Creta, Skoda Kushaq, Tata Curvv, MG Astor, and Citroen Basalt.

The VXi is the most affordable variant in the Victoris lineup to get a strong hybrid engine with both manual and automatic gearbox options

The Maruti Victoris, unveiled recently, is being offered in four broad variants: LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi Plus. Bookings for the SUV are already underway, and prices are yet to be announced. We’ve recently detailed all the features offered with the base-spec LXi variant of the Victoris, and now we turn our attention to the one-above-base VXi variant, diving into the key exterior, interior, and safety features it brings to the table.

Maruti Victoris VXi: Exterior Features

The Victoris VXi comes equipped with basic amenities like halogen projector headlights and positioning lamps, 17-inch steel wheels with covers, and ORVM (outside rear view mirror) mounted turn indicators.

Over the base-spec LXi, it adds body-coloured door handles and ORVMs, roof rails, and connected LED tail lights for a premium appeal. The silver skid plates for front and rear, extended roof spoiler, and a shark-fin antenna are standard across all variants of the Victoris.

Maruti Victoris VXi: Interior Features

From the inside, the Victoris VXi comes with dual-tone black and off white cabin theme along with black fabric seat upholstery. 

Amenities like front centre armrest with storage, a rear centre armrest with cupholders, and adjustable headrests for all seats are being offered right from the base-spec LXi trim. However, the VXi adds some premium details like chrome-finished inside door handles, front footwell illumination, and a vanity mirror for front passengers. 

Maruti Victoris VXi: Comfort And Convenience Features

When it comes to the comfort and convenience features, the one-above-base VXi variant of the Victoris is quite well-equipped. Not only does it get a 10.25-inch fully digital driver’s display (limited to strong-hybrid variants), but also good-to-have equipment like cruise control, paddle shifters (automatic only), multi-drive modes (strong-hybrid only) – Eco, Normal, Sport – height adjustable driver’s seat, PM2.5 air filter, and electrically adjustable ORVMs. Convenience features like auto AC, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, 60:40 split rear seats, dual 45W Type-C USB ports for rear seats,  and keyless entry are also included.

Maruti Victoris VXi: Infotainment

Unlike the bigger 10.1-inch touchscreen offered with higher-spec ZXi Plus and ZXi Plus (O) variants, Maruti has equipped the VXi variant of the Victoris with a smaller 7-inch unit. It looks the same as the units we have seen inside other Arena offerings like Maruti Wagon R, Maruti Alto K10, and Maruti Celerio. This infotainment supports OTA (over-the-air) updates, voice assistant functions, along with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Other highlights include dual speakers with two tweeters, connected car tech (telematics), and Alexa connectivity. Note that infotainment functions like calling, source, and volume can be adjusted by steering-mounted controls. 

Maruti Victoris VXi Safety Features

Before diving into safety features, it’s important to note that the Victoris has achieved a full 5-star safety in Bharat NCAP crash test. Standard safety kit includes 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), traction control system, hill-hold assist, rear parking sensors, rear defogger, seatbelt reminder and 3-point seatbelts for all seats, and ISOFIX child seat mounts.

Choosing the VXi trim further advances it to a rear parking camera, a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and an electronic parking brake (automatic only). Note that if you opt for a strong hybrid version of the SUV, you also get an acoustic vehicle alert system (AVAS). 

Maruti Victoris VXi: Powertrain Options

Maruti offers the Victoris VXi in a total of three powertrain options. The detailed specifications are as follows:

Engine	1.5-litre mild hybrid petrol engine	1.5-litre strong hybrid engine	1.5-litre petrol+CNG option
Power	103 PS	116 PS (combined)	88 PS
Torque	139 Nm	141 Nm	121.5 Nm
Transmission	5-speed MT, 6-speed AT	e-CVT	5-speed MT
Drivetrain	Front-wheel-drive	Front-wheel-drive	Front-wheel-drive
Claimed Fuel Efficiency	21.18 kmpl (MT), 21.06 kmpl (AT)	28.65 kmpl	27.02 km/kg

Note that the Victoris VXi still doesn’t get the option of an AWD (all-wheel-drive) drivetrain, and it is limited to the top-spec ZXi Plus and ZXi Plus (O) variants.

Maruti Victoris: Expected Price And Rivals

The prices for the Maruti Victoris compact SUV are expected to be announced sometime during Diwali. It is expected to be priced from Rs 9.75 lakh (ex-showroom pan-India), and will be retailed via Maruti’s Arena chain of dealerships. It will take on the likes of Maruti Grand Vitara, Hyundai Creta, Honda Elevate, Volkswagen Taigun, Tata Curvv, MG Astor, and Citroen Aircross.

The Victoris’ exterior design looks very elegant and sophisticated, with plenty of modern design touches

The Maruti Victoris was the carmaker’s most recent reveal, and it piqued the interest of many enthusiasts all over the country. It is the Arena sibling to the Maruti Grand Vitara and will get a sleeker exterior and a more modern interior design, along with some novel features. While we have already detailed the interior design in real-life images, here is a detailed description of the exterior styling to help you take a brief look at the compact SUV.

Front

The front of the SUV features a sleek design that is usually attributed to European cars. It gets a full-width LED light bar at the front that seems to be inspired by the Volkswagen Tiguan R Line. It gets projector LED headlights in a black housing, above which the DRLs are divided into segments to give the compact SUV a striking look.

The bumper gets a sculpted design with LED fog lamps on either side, between which is an air dam finished in black.

The lower portion of the bumper comes in a black shade and features a faux silver skid plate for added contrast.

Side

One thing that the Victoris borrows from the Grand Vitara is squared-off wheel arches with thick black body cladding that add up to its SUV look. It gets 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels that have an elegant design.

The outside rearview mirrors, A, B and C pillars are finished in black. The roof features a panoramic sunroof and also houses silver flush-type roof rails and a shark fin antenna.

Rear

At the rear, the Victoris gets a full width LED light bar, but to keep the design funky, Maruti has divided this bar into small segments like the DRLs. This light bar also integrates the turn indicators.

Other than this, the tailgate features a roof-mounted black spoiler, a Suzuki logo and a Victoris badge in the centre.

The bumper features rugged cladding and a combination of reflectors and reverse parking lights that give it a minimal look. There’s a silver skid plate too at the bumper’s lower edge for added flair.
