No ADAS for Maruti Victoris Hybrid and Manual Variants in India

The much-talked-about Maruti Victoris has finally arrived in India. While it proudly introduces ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) to Maruti’s lineup, there’s a catch.

If you’ve wishlisted the Victoris Hybrid or the manual transmission variants, you’ll be disappointed—because no ADAS is offered on these versions.

Instead, ADAS is reserved only for the top-end petrol automatic trims, leaving many buyers scratching their heads.

ADAS in Maruti Victoris

Maruti has certainly made a bold move introducing Level 2 ADAS in the Victoris. However, this outstanding safety feature is not present in all variants.

Here’s a table detailing what you need to know:

So, if you’re buying the Victoris Hybrid or a manual variant, you’ll have to settle for traditional safety features without the futuristic ADAS suite.

Why No ADAS for Hybrid and Manual Variants?

Maruti’s decision seems to be driven by pricing strategy.

• The Victoris starts at ₹10.50 lakh, undercutting rivals like the Hyundai Creta.
• But the strong hybrid variants already touch ₹19.99 lakh, and adding ADAS would push the price even higher.

From a buyer’s perspective, this feels like a missed opportunity. Hybrids are marketed as premium, eco-friendly choices, after all. So shouldn’t they also carry the best safety tech?

Many enthusiasts think Maruti is playing it safe (literally) by keeping ADAS exclusive to trims that balance cost and demand.

What Does Maruti Victoris ADAS Suite Include?

For those lucky enough to get it, the Maruti Victoris ADAS package is fairly comprehensive:

• Adaptive Cruise Control with curve speed reduction
• Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning
• Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning
• Blind Spot Monitoring with lane change alert
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert and High Beam Assist

This makes the Victoris the first Maruti car with ADAS, a big leap for the brand in India’s compact SUV market.

Maruti Victoris: Mixed Buyer Sentiments

On one hand, Maruti deserves credit for finally bringing ADAS to its lineup. On the other, restricting it to just a couple of trims feels like a half-step.

Many buyers expected the Victoris Hybrid—with its premium positioning—to showcase ADAS as standard. Instead, the hybrid didn’t include it at all. This could push safety-conscious buyers toward rivals.

No ADAS for Maruti Victoris Hybrid and Manual Variants: Final Notes

Maruti Victoris Hybrid and Manual variants not getting ADAS is essentially a classic case of balancing affordability with innovation.

Maruti has kept entry prices attractive, but it risks alienating buyers who want both fuel efficiency and advanced safety tech together.

For the time being, if ADAS is a must-have on your checklist, you’ll need to stick with top-end petrol automatic trims.

But if you’re betting on Maruti expanding ADAS availability in the future, you might just have to wait for the next update.
