🚀 Maruti Victoris Storms India: Over 33,000 Bookings! Petrol Variants Drive Record Demand ⛽
Maruti Suzuki’s newest compact SUV, the Victoris, has made an explosive entry into the Indian market, securing over 33,000 bookings since its launch. Positioned as the brand’s premium offering in the competitive compact SUV segment, the Victoris has garnered immense interest, with the conventional mild-hybrid petrol variants leading the sales charge.
Launched in September 2025 through the Maruti Suzuki Arena dealerships, the Victoris is a game-changer for the company, boasting several firsts for the brand, including a 5-Star Bharat NCAP safety rating and a Level-2 ADAS suite in its top-spec trims.

📈 Booking Breakdown: The Petrol Advantage
The overwhelming response highlights a strong acceptance of Maruti’s diversified powertrain strategy. While the innovative strong-hybrid and under-floor CNG variants have seen significant traction, it is the readily available and affordable 1.5L mild-hybrid petrol engine that has pulled in the majority of the bookings.
