<p>Exact specs haven’t been revealed, but the Victoris is expected to borrow heavily from the Grand Vitara. That means you’re likely looking at:</p><h3>Specification (Expected)</h3><figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Category</strong></td><td><strong>Details</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Engine</td><td>1.5L petrol, 1.5L Petrol-CNG &amp; 1.5L strong-hybrid</td></tr><tr><td>Power</td><td>~103 PS/88-100 PS (Petrol-CNG)/ ~116 PS (strong-hybrid)</td></tr><tr><td>Transmission</td><td>5-speed MT, 6-speed AT, and e-CVT (hybrid)</td></tr><tr><td>Mileage (claimed)</td><td>20-21 km/l (petrol)/ ~27 km/kg (CNG)/28.65 kmpl (Strong Hybrid)</td></tr><tr><td>Ground Clearance</td><td>210 mm (unladen)</td></tr><tr><td>Boot Space</td><td>~320-439 litres&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>The Victoris will deliver strong mileage along with urban-friendly performance. The hybrid in particular could appeal to city commuters who want lower running costs.</p>

<p>Maruti has steadily improved its feature list with recent launches, and the Victoris is likely to carry forward this trend.

<p>Maruti has been paying more attention to safety, and the Victoris should reflect that. Expected safety equipment includes:</p><ul><li>6 airbags&nbsp;</li><li>ABS with EBD</li><li>Electronic Stability Program (ESP)</li><li>Hill Hold Assist</li><li>ISOFIX child seat mounts</li><li>Reverse parking camera &amp; sensors</li><li>Level 2 ADAS</li><li>360-degree Camera</li><li>Adaptive Cruise Control</li><li>Lane Departure Warning</li><li>Lane Keep Assist</li><li>Collision protection</li></ul><p>Global NCAP safety ratings are not yet known, but Bharat NCAP has awarded the Victoris a full 5-star rating in both Adult and Child Occupant Protection categories. This is in sync with Maruti’s increased focus on occupant safety.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>While exact trims are yet to be revealed, Maruti usually keeps a wide spread to cater to both budget-conscious and premium buyers.

This spread ensures there will be a Victoris for those who want a simple, affordable SUV and for those who prefer a fully loaded hybrid with all the bells and whistles.</p>

<p>Official shades aren’t confirmed yet, but you can expect a familiar palette carried over from the Grand Vitara, such as:</p><ul><li>Eternal Blue with Bluish Black Roof</li><li>Eternal Blue</li><li>Splendid Silver with Bluish Black Roof</li><li>Splendid Silver</li><li>Selling Red with Bluish Black Roof</li><li>Sizzling Red</li><li>Magma Grey</li><li>Pearl Arctic White</li><li>Bluish Black</li><li>Mystic Green</li></ul>

<p>The Victoris will enter the competitive mid-size SUV space. Its main rivals will include:</p><ul><li>Hyundai Creta</li><li>Kia Seltos</li><li>Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder (shares platform)</li><li>Honda Elevate</li><li>Skoda Kushaq</li><li>VW Virtus</li></ul><p>What will set the Victoris apart is Maruti’s reliability, wide service reach, and the promise of excellent mileage with the hybrid.</p>
