Maruti Victoris is India's First Car with Underbody CNG Tank - Official

Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest carmaker has finally introduced the long-awaited Victoris mid-sized SUV in India. The Victoris will take on the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and others in the mid-sized segment. The SUV also marks the debut of several Maruti first features. Adding to it, the Maruti Victoris is India’s first car to feature underbody CNG Tank. 

Underbody CNG tank

The Maruti Victoris comes with an underbody CNG Tank, which helps the Indo-Japanese brand to free up more space in the boot. The Grand Vitara is criticised for offering less boot space compared to its direct rivals. The petrol derivative offers 373-litres of boot, which further reduces to 265-litres in the hybrid powertrain. 

With CNG tank in the boot, the Grand Vitara literally offers limited space to carry small backpacks. However, the Maruti Victoris with underbody CNG tank solves this problem.
