Maruti Suzuki aims to expand its SUV portfolio with a range of new models, and the Victoris is the latest addition to the lineup. It will be soon followed by another midsize SUV; however, this new model will feature an electric powertrain – the Maruti and Vitara.
The carmaker has already commenced exports, and is now preparing to launch the e Vitara in India. While its official launch date is yet to be announced, the electric SUV is likely to go on sale in December 2025.
