She made her television debut as a background actress in Rumors (2006), later obtaining larger television roles in Hospital Central and La pecera de Eva. In 2013, she joined the theatrical cast of Una historia catalana, a play staged at the National Theatre of Catalonia.

She starred as lead character in the French TV movie Carmen (2011 film) (2011), directed by Jacques Malaterre, also appearing in films such as La Trinca: la biografía no autorizada (2011), Born (2014; for which she won a Best Actress Award at the 2015 New York City International Film Festival), Barcelona, noche de invierno (2015), The Laws of Thermodynamics (2018) and I'm Being Me (2020).

On 31 August 2023, Luengo debuted with the single-role of Tessa in monologue play Prima Facie at Madrid's Teatros del Canal.

In 2024, she expressed her preference to be known to the public by her real name, Victoria, rather than Vicky, which she adopted in her early career because she felt back then that Victoria was a name for an old person.
