Japan Mobility Show 2025: Maruti Victoris’ CBG Variant Steals the Spotlight, India ExcelsJapan Mobil (X/Maruti)
Japan Mobility Show 2025: Just as the India Mobility Global Auto Expo is a celebration of cars in India, Japan's Japan Mobility Show is equally impressive. This year's show will run from October 30th to November 9th, 2025, and Suzuki (Maruti's mother!) will showcase several made-in-India models. The hottest one will be the CBG (Compressed Bio Gas) variant of the Maruti Victoris! Launched in September, the Victoris is currently available in petrol, hybrid, and CNG, but this new CBG version will become an environmental superhero. Let's get into the details!
It will be powered by the same 1.5-liter petrol engine as the CNG model but tuned for CBG. CBG is super clean—CNG comes from fossil fuels, but CBG comes from organic waste: crop residues and animal dung! This will reduce carbon emissions, clean up waste, and increase rural jobs. The prototype will be showcased at the Japan show, after which Maruti will consider a commercial launch in India. What a treat, Indian tech on the global stage!
Currently, the Victoris is available in three flavors. Here's the table—easy to understand:
| Variants | Engine | Power | Torque | Transmission | Mileage |
| Petrol + CNG | 1.5L 4-cylinder | 87.8 PS (CNG), 100 PS (Petrol) | 121.5 Nm (CNG), 137 Nm (Petrol) | 5-speed MT | 27.02 km/kg |
| Mild Hybrid Petrol | 1.5L 4-cylinder | 103 PS | 139 Nm | 5-speed MT 6-speed AT | 21.18 kmpl (MT), 21.06 kmpl (AT), 19.07 kmpl (AWD) |
| Strong Hybrid Petrol | 1.5L 3-cylinder | 116 PS (Combined) | 141 Nm | eCVT | 28.65 kmpl |
The Victoris is available in India at prices ranging from Rs 10.50 lakh to Rs 19.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The competition includes the Hyundai Creta, Honda Elevate, Kia Seltos, MG Astor, VW Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, Tata Curvv, Citroen Basalt, and its very own Grand Vitara! A CBG version will be a big hit in the green SUV segment.
