LXi Price and Specs, Maruti Suzuki Victoris

The LXi is the cheapest Victoris at ₹10.50 Lakh ex-showroom, and it is far from bare. It uses the 1.5 litre K15C Smart Hybrid petrol with 102 bhp and 139 Nm, a 5 speed manual and a 21.18 kmpl rating. Smart Hybrid is Maruti's mild hybrid setup, built around a small 12 volt lithium-ion battery.

The cabin already has automatic climate control with rear AC vents, push button start with a smart key and a 17.78 cm SmartPlay Pro touchscreen. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are built in, playing through two door speakers. Six airbags, ESP, hill hold, ISOFIX mounts and rear parking sensors are standard.

The savings show in the details. You get halogen projector headlamps, no roof rails, mirrors and door handles that are not body coloured, and 17 inch steel wheels with full covers. There is no reverse camera, cruise control or seat height adjuster, and colours stop at white, silver or grey. The VXi adds the camera, cruise and roof rails for ₹1,35,000 more.
