There is the 1.5-litre, nat-asp mild-hybrid petrol engine producing 101.6bhp and 139Nm of torque, paired to a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic.

The Victoris has also joined the Dzire, by becoming the second Maruti Suzuki car to score a full five stars at both the GNCAP and the Bharat NCAP crash tests. We have spoken about these elsewhere on our website, and we will soon be driving this car, so do stay tuned for our review.
Verdict
The Victoris has clearly undercut the Hyundai Creta in terms of pricing, and there is a lot it offers in terms of features too. However, the Creta offers a more different set of powertrains, which may appeal to those looking for a diesel specifically. That said, it will be interesting to see how the Victoris fares against a huge bunch of rivals.
