Suzuki Victoris CBG Unveiled At Japan Mobility Show 2025

Suzuki has showcased the Victoris CBG (Compressed Biogas) SUV at the Japan Mobility Show 2025 in Japan. This new age clean mobility vehicle highlights the company’s ongoing work in the renewable fuel mobility sector. The Victoris CBG represents Suzuki’s progress in the biogas initiative which began back in 2022 with the aim of developing mobility solutions powered by biogas derived from organic and dairy waste.

The Victoris CBG showcased at the event is based on the recently launched Maruti Suzuki Victoris SUV and it uses technology derived from its CNG version. The vehicle features dual gas cylinders placed under the floor, which helps retain luggage space. It measures 4,360 mm in length, 1,795 mm in width and 1,655 mm in height.

The powertrain is designed to run on compressed biogas - methane produced from organic waste materials such as agricultural residue and cattle dung. Chemically, CBG is similar to CNG, but it differs in origin, being renewable and capable of supporting a closed carbon cycle.

At the Japan Mobility Show, Suzuki’s display of the Victoris CBG forms part of its wider renewable energy strategy, which also includes electric and flex-fuel technologies. The company has already commissioned a biogas plant at its Manesar facility, operational since 2024, to support this initiative.

For now, the Victoris CBG remains a showcase model. Its market launch in India has not been confirmed. The India-spec Victoris is currently available with petrol, mild-hybrid, strong-hybrid, and CNG powertrains. Any future introduction of a biogas-powered version will depend on the readiness of biogas infrastructure and feedstock availability in the country.
