Advanced Safety for a Modern Era
Victor is the first Maruti SUV to feature Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), including collision mitigation, lane-keep assist, blind spot monitoring, and a 360° camera. Six airbags come standard, and the SUV boasts a five-star Bharat NCAP safety rating, making it among the safest in its league.
