MARUTI Suzuki (MSIL), country's largest carmaker, has set its sights on claiming the top spot in the highly contested mid-size SUV segment, a market long dominated by Hyundai's bestselling Creta. On Wednesday, Maruti launched Victoris SUV, with prices to be announced soon and deliveries starting from the first day of Navratri. Victoris will also be exported to over 100 countries.

Building on its recent momentum with entry-level SUVs like Fronx and Brezza, Maruti Suzuki has seen its SUV share of total sales nearly triple in four years - from about 9% in FY21 to nearly 28% in FY 25.
