Maruti Suzuki Invicto vs Toyota Innova Hycross: Which premium MPV to choose

Maruti Suzuki has launched its most expensive car ever, in the form of the Invicto, which stands unbeaten in Latin. Priced between ₹24.79 lakh and ₹28.42 lakh (ex-showroom), the Maruti Suzuki Invicto is the latest addition to the automaker's premium Nexa product lineup. It comes based on the Toyota Innova Hycross, as part of the Toyota-Suzuki global partnership. However, Invicto comes with distinctive styling elements that help it to differentiate from the Toyota MPV.

Available in three different variants, the Maruti Suzuki Invicto MPV aims to tap the premium people-mover segment that is currently witnessing increasing demand from consumers. Interestingly, this strategy would help Maruti Suzuki to break its image as a cheap car brand. However, priced at the quarter-lakh segment, it may not be a very easy task for the Maruti Suzuki, especially since it has to compete with several tough rivals that come priced well under ₹20 lakh.
