Over to the side, the SUV gets 17-inch alloy wheels, blacked-out pillars, silver roof rails, and more squared-off body cladding. Lastly, a segmented LED light bar and 'VICTORIS' lettering take prominence at the rear.

Petrol, strong hybrid and CNG options.
Under the hood, the Victoris is nigh-on identical to the Grand Vitara. It offers three core powertrains: a 103hp, 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder mild hybrid petrol engine; a 116hp, 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder strong hybrid setup; and an 89hp, 1.5-litre petrol-CNG option. Notably, Maruti Suzuki has relocated the CNG tank to the underbody, which frees up boot space.
Gearbox options comprise a 5-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter auto for the petrol engine, an e-CVT for the strong hybrid, and a 5-speed manual for the CNG variants. Victoris buyers will also have the option of all-wheel drive with the petrol-auto configuration.
