Suzuki expands its SUV lineup with the introduction of the Victoris, aiming to compete with established models like the Hyundai Creta. The Victoris will also contend with the Honda Elevate and Kia Seltos. The SUV is slightly longer than the Grand Vitara.

The Victoris is powered by a 1.5-liter petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology. Exterior features include connected LED lights, a redesigned grille, daytime running lights (DRLs), sharp headlights, and prominent wheel arches. Additional features include a shark fin antenna, a powered tailgate with gesture control, and rear skid plates.

The Victoris is manufactured in India and will be exported to over 100 international markets.
