Maruti Suzuki recently created a sensation in the Indian market with the launch of its new hybrid SUV, the Maruti Victoris. This SUV is rapidly gaining popularity among customers due to its low starting price and excellent mileage. The Victoris is offered with petrol, CNG, and, most importantly, a strong hybrid powertrain option. Its starting ex-showroom price is just ₹10.50 lakh, making it a highly competitive option in this segment.
Maruti Victoris On-Road Price and Variants
The ex-showroom price of the Maruti Victoris starts at ₹10.50 lakh and goes up to ₹19.99 lakh for the top-end variant. The SUV is available in six different variants: LXi, VXi, ZXi, ZXi(O), ZXi+, and ZXi+(O). If you buy the base model (LXi) of the Victoris in a metro city like Delhi, its on-road price, including RTO fees, insurance, and other taxes, comes to around ₹12.17 lakh.
Down Payment and EMI Calculation
To finance the Maruti Victoris, you’ll need a down payment of at least ₹2 lakh. After the down payment, you’ll need to take a car loan of approximately ₹10.17 lakh.
| Loan Tenure (Years) | Interest Rate (Approx.) | Monthly EMI (Approx.) |
| 5 | 9% | ₹21,000 |
This estimated EMI calculation is based on a 5-year term and a 9% interest rate. However, your final EMI will depend on your credit score, bank policies, and the financing options offered by the dealership.
Engine Options and Segment-Best Mileage
The Maruti Victoris is offered with three powerful and fuel-efficient engine options:
1.5-liter petrol engine
1.5-liter strong hybrid engine
1.5-liter petrol + CNG engine
Transmission options include a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed automatic, and an eCVT gearbox on the hybrid model. The Victoris leads its segment in terms of mileage:
Petrol variant mileage: 18.50 kmpl
Hybrid variant mileage: up to 28.65 kmpl
Competition and EMI comparison
The Maruti Victoris’s main and direct competition is the segment leader, the Hyundai Creta.
| Model | Starting ex-showroom price | Hybrid/CNG options |
| Maruti Victoris | ₹10.50 Lakh | Yes (Hybrid/CNG) |
| Hyundai Creta | ₹11.11 Lakh | No |
If you make a down payment of ₹50,000 to purchase a Hyundai Creta (petrol variant), the EMIs for different loan tenures at an interest rate of 9.8% will be as follows:
| Loan Term | Monthly EMI (₹) |
| 4 Years | 31,569 |
| 5 Years | 26,424 |
| 6 Years | 23,021 |
| 7 Years | 20,613 |
The Victoris emerges as a better value-for-money option than the Creta due to its lower starting price, hybrid powertrain, and excellent mileage.
