Maruti Victoris E20: Unpacking the Claimed 21 km/l on E20 Petrol and its Impressive Range
The newly launched Maruti Victoris is turning heads not just with its fresh SUV styling, but also with its remarkable claimed fuel efficiency. According to the official specifications, the petrol manual (MT) variant of the Victoris delivers an impressive 21.18 km/l. This figure, likely optimized for Maruti Victoris E20 petrol (India’s new 20% ethanol blend fuel), translates into an exceptional single-tank driving range and highly economical running costs, positioning the Victoris as a highly attractive option for budget-conscious SUV buyers.
Maruti Victoris E20:A Near 1000 km Range-Reality Check
With a typical fuel tank capacity for an SUV in this segment (estimated at around 45 liters), the claimed 21.18 km/l mileage suggests a potential single-tank range of approximately 953 kilometers. This near-1000 km range on a full tank of E20 petrol is indeed a significant highlight and, if achievable in real-world conditions, would make the Victoris an ideal companion for long highway journeys with fewer fuel stops. For comparison, the Strong Hybrid variant promises an even more astounding 28.65 km/l, pushing its theoretical range well beyond the 1200 km mark!
This exceptional range could redefine expectations in the compact SUV segment, offering unparalleled convenience for inter-city travel and reducing range anxiety significantly.
Cost-Effective Journeys: Maruti Victoris E20 Petrol’s Advantage
Translating this impressive range into running costs, a full tank of 45 liters of E20 petrol would cost approximately ₹4,500 (assuming an average E20 petrol price of ₹100 per liter). For this investment, owners could potentially cover over 950 kilometers, making the Victoris incredibly economical to run. This cost efficiency is a major draw, especially for buyers upgrading from smaller cars or looking to manage their monthly fuel expenses more effectively.
