Victoris LXI CNG Launch – With an ex-showroom price tag of about ₹11.50 lakh, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris LXi CNG is already turning out to be a good option for price-sensitive customers. The Victoris LXi CNG is a good choice for frequent or long-distance travelers because of its great fuel economy, well-equipped base variant, and low operational costs.
Pricing
The Victoris LXi CNG has an ex-showroom price of ₹11.50 lakh, while the on-road price is dependent on the city where the car is being purchased. It amounts to around ₹13.32 lakh in New Delhi and is about ₹13.39 lakh in Noida. It comes with all the bells and whistles of a mid-trim that are usually absent in a base variant at one of the most reasonable prices, such as six airbags, automatic climate control, a 7-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and rear parking sensors. Thus, pricing and features combination is definitely a plus for the car overall.
Fuel Efficiency
One of the major pros of the Victoris LXi CNG is its fuel economy. ARAI has given an awesome mileage of 27.02 km/kg the CNG SUV. This real-world usage translates to about 23–25 km/kg in city driving and 27–30 km/kg on highways, which is pretty decent for an SUV of its size. Thus the Victoris LXi CNG has nothing to worry when it comes to fuel savings over a longer period because it beats petrol-only competitors giving around 21 kmpl and other CNG competition models.
Maintenance
Incorporating the well-recognized 1.5-litre K15C engine, the Victoris LXi CNG is a car that is reliable and efficient at the same time. Maruti Suzuki’s extensive service network across India offers not just convenience but also low maintenance costs compared to many competitors. The car is eligible for a standard warranty of 3 years or 100,000 km, but it can also be extended for even more peace of mind.
Practicality and Safety
Among the major benefits of the Victoris LXi CNG is its CNG tank that is underbody-mounted, which keeps the entire 439 litres of boot space—thus eliminating a common disadvantage found in factory-fitted CNG vehicles. In terms of safety, the SUV has scored a five-star Bharat NCAP rating, thereby being one of the safest cars in its class.
Conclusion
The Maruti Suzuki Victoris LXi CNG provides a better cost of ownership profile. The first cost is around ₹1 lakh higher than the base petrol variant, but this is soon offset by the low running costs and above-average fuel efficiency. The combination of a feature-rich base variant and strong safety credentials makes the Victoris LXi CNG an economical and practical choice for both commuting and long-distance driving.
