Maruti Suzuki India Limited announced the commencement of exports for its premium SUV, VICTORIS, marking a significant step in the model’s global rollout. The first batch of over 450 units has departed from the Mundra and Pipavav ports, headed to key international markets where the SUV will be sold under the name ‘Across’.
Designed as a modern, future-ready SUV, VICTORIS blends intelligent technology, indulgent comfort and contemporary styling under the brand’s ‘Got It All’ philosophy. Its global appeal is reinforced by strong safety credentials — the SUV has secured a 5-star rating in both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP, reflecting its robust engineering and safety-first development approach.
The VICTORIS has also been showcased internationally, including at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, where it received positive attention from global audiences. With exports now underway, Maruti Suzuki aims to strengthen India’s position as a key contributor to global automotive supply chains while expanding the footprint of its premium SUV portfolio worldwide.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “Maruti Suzuki’s export journey is guided by the vision of Make in India, Make for the World. In calendar year 2025, with exports of over 3.9 lakh vehicles, we emerged as India’s number one passenger vehicle exporter for the fifth year in a row. The year also marked our re-entry into Europe with the start of exports of our first Battery Electric Vehicle, e VITARA.”
He added, “If we look at growth of India’s passenger vehicle exports in the past five years from CY2020 to CY2025, while the rest of industry grew by 1.43 times, Maruti Suzuki exports grew by 4.67 times. The addition of VICTORIS will further support our export ambitions, and we are hopeful it will be well received in international markets.”
