When we buy a car, most of us look at mileage, design, or features. But the real peace of mind comes when we know our family is travelling in a safe vehicle. Maruti Suzuki has taken a big step in this direction with its latest SUV – Victoris, which has proudly scored a 5-star Global NCAP rating. This is the brand’s first SUV to achieve this benchmark, making it a milestone in Maruti’s safety journey.
How Did Victoris Score in the Crash Tests?
Global NCAP awarded the Victoris with impressive results:
- Adult Occupant Protection (AOP): 33.72 out of 34
- Child Occupant Protection (COP): 41 out of 49
These scores highlight not just strong build quality, but also the thoughtful integration of active and passive safety features across its variants.
Active Safety: ADAS and Driver Assistance Features
One of the main reasons behind this 5-star rating is the presence of Level-2 ADAS (available in select trims). Key features include:
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keep Assist
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- High Beam Assist
On top of this, the Victoris also offers a 360-degree camera system, making tight city driving and parking much easier. Together, these features reduce accident risks and bring more confidence to the driver.
Passive Safety: Strong Structure, Airbags, and Brakes
Maruti has equipped the Victoris with six airbags as standard, along with disc brakes on all four wheels and dual-channel ABS. According to Global NCAP, the SUV has a reinforced body structure and strong survival space that helps absorb crash impacts effectively. This combination of safety tech makes it one of the most secure SUVs in its segment.
Child Safety: Protection That Matters
Victoris has scored high in child occupant protection too. The SUV comes with ISOFIX child-seat mounts, easy installation guides, and compatibility with multiple restraint systems. This ensures young passengers remain safe and secure in every ride.
What This Means for Indian Buyers
For Indian families, this 5-star rating is more than just a number. It’s a promise that Maruti is now focusing not just on affordability and mileage, but also on world-class safety standards. With Victoris, customers get the assurance of advanced ADAS along with a tough body structure and reliable braking system — a true blend of safety and peace of mind.
