Design & Looks
The Victoris keeps the sleek, midsize SUV silhouette that Indian customers loved since its September 2025 debut. The front end features a bold grille, LED DRLs and a slightly longer bonnet compared to the domestic version. Inside, the cabin gets a 6‑inch touchscreen, soft‑touch steering wheel and premium upholstery that appeal to export markets looking for a blend of style and comfort.
Performance & Mileage
Under the hood the Across is powered by Maruti’s reliable 1.5‑litre K15B petrol engine, paired with a 5‑speed manual or a 4‑speed automatic. The engine delivers smooth power for city cruising while keeping fuel consumption low – an important factor for buyers overseas.

| 1.5 L K15B Petrol | ≈17 | ≈12 Lakh |
