Maruti Suzuki has introduced an all-new model in the line-up, named the Victoris. A sibling of the Grand Vitara, the Victoris will be launched ahead of the festive season and will be sold through the Arena showrooms. Sharing the powertrain with its siblings, here’s the powertrain and mileage details you need to know.
Powering the Victoris is the 1.5-litre K-Series Dual Jet Dual VVT petrol engine. It produces 102bhp at 6000rpm and 139Nm at 4300rpm. It can be had either with a five-speed manual or a six-speed torque converter automatic. In the former configuration, it has a claimed mileage of 21.18kmpl while the latter has a claimed range of 21.06kmpl. This engine is also available with Maruti’s All-Grip AWD setup, with the automatic as the only gearbox choice. In this specification, the claimed mileage is 19.07 kmpl.
