Report Card: Maruti Victoris’ 1-Year Innings

Maruti Suzuki introduced the Victoris SUV on September 15, 2026, as its second mid-size SUV. With the Victoris, Maruti aimed to capture a larger share of the mid-size SUV segment by retailing it through its widespread Arena dealership network, in contrast to its Nexa-sold stablemate, the Grand Vitara. The Victoris shares its platform and engines with the Grand Vitara but sports a distinct exterior design. Additionally, it introduced features such as an underbody-mounted CNG tank and became the first Maruti model to feature a Level 2 ADAS suite.

Victoris records 1,47,602 units in total sales in its first year.
Prices have increased/decreased for select variants; still range between Rs 10.5 lakh and Rs 19.99 lakh.
No variant rejigs took place in its first year.

Maruti Victoris sales

In its first year since launch, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris recorded sales of 1,47,602 units, averaging roughly 12,300 units per month. Monthly volumes began at 4,261 units in September 2025 and rose quickly to 13,496 units in October 2025. Following a minor dip to 12,300 units in November 2025, sales dropped by nearly half in December 2025. Peak sales were recorded in January 2026 at 15,240 units, after which the SUV maintained steady monthly volumes ranging between 10,000 and 13,000 units.

Despite launching after the Grand Vitara, the Victoris achieves higher monthly sales figures, largely supported by Maruti Suzuki’s wider Arena dealership network. Notably, the SUV crossed the 1-lakh sales milestone within eight months of launch—outpacing the Grand Vitara to reach this mark.
