Which One Is Best For You?
Watch the CarDekho reel below to understand which powertrain of the Maruti Victoris best suits your needs:https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOyErjLEkLW/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=14&wp=822&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cardekho.com&rp=%2Findia-car-news%2Fwatch-video-which-engine-option-of-maruti-victoris-is-the-right-one-for-you-35083.htm#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A213017.59999990463%7D
As demonstrated in the video, the regular 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine is ideal for both city commutes and highway cruising, offering a smooth and refined driving experience. The manual transmission is easy to use, though the 6-speed automatic adds an extra layer of convenience. If you’re looking for a more cost-effective alternative with the manual, the CNG variant is a solid choice. Thanks to its underbody CNG tank, the Victoris also manages to retain full boot space, which is a notable advantage.

The mild hybrid petrol also comes with an optional AWD (all-wheel-drive) drivetrain with automatic transmission, but do note that it’s best to handle mild off-road and uneven terrain with ease. Also, if you don’t have a budget cap and are looking for performance and good efficiency, the strong hybrid should be your ideal choice.
