Maruti Suzuki has officially lifted the curtains on its most feature-loaded SUV yet under the Arena brand — the Victoris. This five-seater SUV is not just a new product, it’s a statement. Designed to compete head-on with segment leaders, the Victoris introduces several high-end features that are a first for any Maruti Suzuki Arena model. Let’s take a closer look at five standout highlights that make the Victoris a game-changer for the brand.
Audio
One of the most exciting updates is in the entertainment department. The Victoris becomes the first Maruti Suzuki Arena model to offer a premium eight-speaker Infinity (Harman) sound system. What’s even more exciting is that it supports Dolby Atmos — a technology usually found in luxury vehicles.
Pair that with a floating 10.1-inch infotainment system that supports wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Alexa voice commands, built-in apps, and over-the-air updates, and you’ve got yourself a cabin loaded with tech. The audio experience alone might be reason enough for many buyers to consider the Victoris.
Hybrid
Strong hybrid tech, once limited to Maruti’s Nexa range, now makes its way into the Arena portfolio through the Victoris. While the Grand Vitara introduced the technology to the Maruti family, Victoris brings it to a more budget-friendly audience.
The SUV will also be available in petrol-only and CNG versions, offering flexibility based on fuel preference. With rising fuel prices, the hybrid setup is bound to be a key selling point for city commuters and eco-conscious drivers alike.
CNG
Here’s a real innovation that deserves applause. The Victoris is the first Maruti Suzuki — and the first vehicle in India — to offer an underbody-mounted CNG tank.
What does that mean? No more sacrificing boot space just to save on fuel costs. Traditional CNG setups often eat into cargo area, but Victoris solves this by moving the tank beneath the body. It’s a small change with a massive impact on practicality.
Comfort
The Victoris also marks a new standard in comfort for Arena SUVs. It is the first to offer a powered driver’s seat with ventilation. If you’ve ever driven long hours in Indian summers, you know how valuable ventilated seats can be.
This feature not only boosts comfort but also signals that Maruti is finally listening to what buyers want — especially in a premium SUV experience.
Tailgate
Another cool addition is a powered tailgate with gesture control. This means you can open the boot with just a wave of your foot — handy when your hands are full with groceries or luggage.
This feature is a first in the Arena lineup and adds a nice touch of convenience and luxury. It’s the kind of small detail that makes a big difference in daily usability.
The Victoris, with all these firsts, clearly represents a shift in how Maruti Suzuki is approaching the mass-market SUV space. It’s no longer just about affordability and reliability — features, tech, and comfort are now front and center. If Maruti can price it right, the Victoris may well become a major disruptor in its segment.
