Intro

The Maruti Victoris LXi is priced at ₹10.49 lakh, the base variant to lure value buyers with basic safety, essential tech and proven fuel efficiency. Why it matters: it gets six airbags and a certified 21.18 kmpl at the entry point, undercutting many rivals on price while keeping the fundamentals intact.

Maruti Victoris LXi: Price and launch

Maruti has launched the Victoris with an introductory ex-showroom price of ₹10,49,900. Sales are scheduled to begin from September 22 at ARENA outlets.

Exterior design and dimensions

The LXi has the SUV stance with segmented LED DRLs, halogen projector headlamps, and 17-inch steel wheels with covers, in line with its practical brief. Dimensions are 4,360 mm long, 1,795 mm wide, 1,655 mm high, 2,600 mm wheelbase and 210 mm ground clearance, segment-ready proportions.

Interior and key features

Inside, the dual-tone cabin gets a 7-inch SmartPlay Pro touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and a basic 2-speaker setup. The driver gets a 4.2-inch multi-information display in the instrument cluster. Convenience features include manual AC, rear AC vents, keyless entry, push button start/stop and a 60:40 split rear seat – a usable kit without fluff.

Engine and performance

Power comes from the 1.5L K15C petrol engine, which produces 101.64 bhp (103 PS) and 139 Nm, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The powertrain is tuned for smoothness over sprints. The highlight figure is an ARAI-certified 21.18 kmpl – good for a base petrol SUV – while 0-100 km/h figures are unverified for now.

Ride, handling and safety

Underpinnings are MacPherson struts up front and a torsion beam at the rear, paired with four-wheel disc brakes for everyday confidence. Safety kit is robust at entry level: six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, hill-hold and traction control, matching the LXi with family-first priorities.

Price, variants and on-sale timeline

Pricing starts at ₹10.49 lakh for the LXi 1.5 MT, and ₹11.50 lakh for the LXi CNG. Sales for the entire lineup, which includes petrol AT and strong-hybrid trims, begin on September 22.

Rivals and positioning

Competition is the Hyundai Creta, Toyota Hyryder, Kia Seltos and Maruti’s own Grand Vitara, most of which are priced higher ex-showroom. That gives the Victoris LXi a value proposition, especially with its standard safety and efficiency claims.

Conclusion

If the brief is a safe, efficient entry into the mid-size SUV space with the essentials covered, the Maruti Victoris LXi is a good first step – especially at the launch price. Higher trims will add tech and comforts; the LXi’s job is to get the fundamentals right without overspending.
