Drawing inspiration from the e-Vitara electric vehicle, the Victoris showcases a new design language. The SUV features distinctive LED headlights that connect to a slim chrome-trimmed grille. Bold plastic cladding and a silver front skid plate add further visual interest. The Victoris rides on 17-inch wheels and features blacked-out pillars and silver roof rails. The rear is characterized by full-width segmented LED taillights.
Inside, the Victoris offers a two-tone interior. A three-spoke steering wheel sits in front of a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. The center console houses a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with Alexa virtual assistant and Suzuki Maps, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. A heads-up display (HUD) projects key information onto the windshield.
The Victoris is equipped with an 8-speaker Dolby Atmos sound system, a panoramic sunroof, and ventilated power-adjustable front seats. Other features include 64-color ambient lighting, wireless charging, a 360-degree camera, a power tailgate with hands-free opening, automatic climate control, and rear air vents. Suzuki has also incorporated Level 2 ADAS and various standard safety features.
Sharing the Heartect platform with the Grand Vitara, the Victoris offers three powertrain options with a choice of 5-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, or e-CVT transmissions.
The first powertrain is the K15C Smart Hybrid, a mild-hybrid system featuring a 1.5-liter petrol engine producing 103 hp and 139 Nm of torque. The second option, the K15C, is a dual-fuel Petrol+CNG powertrain with a 1.5-liter engine delivering 100 hp in Petrol Mode and 87 hp in CNG Mode. Lastly, the K15D full-hybrid system combines a 1.5-liter petrol engine (92 hp) with an 80 hp electric motor and a 177.6V lithium-ion battery.
Suzuki plans to launch the Victoris in India in late 2025, with pricing to be announced closer to the release date. The Victoris will be manufactured in India.
