With versatile seating options and a robust feature set, the Maruti Suzuki Invicto is the best choice for families and travellers wanting premium comfort.
The Maruti Suzuki Invicto is competitively priced between ₹25.51 lakh and ₹29.22 lakh, offering remarkable value for a vehicle of its stature. The Zeta+ seven-seater model is priced at ₹25,51,000 while its eight-seater configuration gets an increase of ₹5,000. The Alpha+ variant is limited as a seven-seater model and comes at ₹29,22,000. All aforementioned prices are ex-showroom.
The Maruti Suzuki Invicto was officially launched on July 5, 2023. This launch marks Maruti Suzuki's strong foray into the premium MPV segment, aiming to grab a significant share of the market currently dominated by established players like the Toyota Innova.
The Maruti Suzuki Invicto is available in three distinct variants: Zeta Plus 7 STR, Zeta Plus 8 STR, and Alpha Plus 7 STR. Each variant is tailored to offer different levels of luxury and technology. As for colours, the Invicto is available in four sophisticated shades: Majestic Silver, Stellar Bronze, Nexa Blue, and Mystic White, allowing customers to choose a hue that resonates with their personal style.
The Maruti Suzuki Invicto is loaded with a plethora of features that enhance the driving experience. Some of the key amenities include:- 10-inch Touchscreen Infotainment System: Equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless connectivity.- Seven-inch Digital Driver Display: Provides vital information at a glance.- Panoramic Sunroof: Adds a touch of luxury and enhances the airy feel inside the cabin.- Multi-Zone Climate Control: Ensures comfort for all passengers, irrespective of the weather outside.- Connected Car Technology: Offers remote functionalities and a first-in-class E-call function for emergencies.- Electronic Adjustment for Front Seats: Enhances convenience and comfort, especially for long journeys.- Safety Features: Equipped with six airbags, Electronic Parking Brakes, and a 360-degree camera system, ensuring safety for all occupants.
Under the hood, the Maruti Suzuki Invicto boasts a powerful 2.0-litre petrol engine paired with a hybrid powertrain. The hybrid system produces an impressive 184 bhp, while torque figures stand at an impressive 250 Nm. The engine is mated to an e-CVT automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and efficient power delivery. Notably, the Invicto offers three drive modes: Normal, Sport, and Eco. This versatile driving experience allows the driver to adapt the vehicle's performance based on preferences and road conditions. The Invicto can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in approximately 9.5 seconds, showcasing its sporty credentials and satisfying both urban and spirited driving needs.
Fuel efficiency is a critical consideration for many buyers. The Maruti Suzuki Invicto claims a fuel efficiency of 23.24 kmpl, which is ARAI certified. This makes it an economical choice for families and individuals who require a vehicle that can deliver both performance and sustainability.
The Maruti Suzuki Invicto stands tall with a ground clearance designed to tackle various terrains confidently. The MPV boasts a generous boot space of 239 litres, which can be expanded to over 600 litres when the rear seats are folded down. This makes it ideal for family road trips or carrying bulky items easily.
The Maruti Suzuki Invicto comfortably seats up to seven or eight passengers, making it suitable for large families or those needing extra seating capacity. The availability of captain seats in the middle row enhances comfort and accessibility, particularly on long journeys, allowing passengers to enjoy more space and luxury.
Safety is paramount in the Maruti Suzuki Invicto, equipped with several features designed to protect occupants. Key safety aspects include:- Six Airbags: For comprehensive protection of all passengers.- Electronic Stability Program (ESP): Enhances vehicle stability and traction control.- 360-degree Camera System: Facilitates ease of parking and manoeuvring in tight spots.- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): Alerts drivers if tyre pressure falls below optimal levels.- Anti-theft Security System: Adding peace of mind for owners.
The Maruti Suzuki Invicto faces competition primarily from the Toyota Innova and Kia Carnival in the premium MPV segment.
Once upon a time, there was a car brand that ruled a kingdom wide and till far with its army of small and compact vehicles. The foot soldiers of the company were affordable models that may not have had much in terms of looks and features but gained a fabulous repute for being practical and affordable. Times change and with it, Maruti Suzuki has evolved enormously and its alliance with Toyota has been fundamental in arming it with larger and significantly more premium offerings. The latest? Maruti Suzuki Invicto MPV.
Comparisons between Invicto and Innova Hycross have already dominated car talks in India in recent times but that has hardly deterred Maruti Suzuki from positioning its product as a solid proposition. The Invicto is the largest Maruti Suzuki vehicle, speaking in terms of dimensions. It is also carries the largest weight of aspirations for the company and is its priciest model in the country yet. But for all the talks and comparisons, what does it bring to the battlefield?
The Invicto is as big and as imposing as the Innova Hycross. In terms of dimensions, both vehicles are identical. Even in terms of design cues, most elements are shared except some significant bits that lend the Maruti MPV a tad bit of freshness. The face, for instance, gets a reworked - and larger - grille with twin slats converging on the Suzuki logo. The bumper is new and so are the reworked LED turn indicators towards the bottom. It also gets Nexa three-dot LED DRLs and lighting system. The central air intake is larger than what is on the Hycross while there is some silver garnish to complete the look.
From the side, the Invicto is absolutely identical to the Hycross except for the alloy design. This model sits on 17-inch wheels although the Hycross also offers larger 18-inch wheels. The wheel arches, the character line, the belt line, the window sizes - all are otherwise carried forward.
Over at the rear, the Invicto gets a different treatment for its LED tail lights. The three-dot LED lights here give it a fresher appeal while there is a chrome garnish on the rear bumper.
But all of these elements are minor at best and the Invicto mostly benefits from the familiar and mature looks that the Innova Hycross has had. It is a no-nonsense, mature visual language which does not go overboard from any angle.
The Invicto - much like Innova Hycross - offers seats in two layouts. There is an eight-seat layout but this review focuses on the seven-seat version with Captain's Seats in the middle row.
If space has not been an issue ever inside the Innova, it won't be inside the Invicto either. The middle-row seats are done well with enough space in the middle to squeeze in through here to the final row space. But there is also a tumble down function from the side to allow for an easier passage. The middle-row passengers get a foldable tray with cup holders and benefit the most from a panoramic sunroof with ambient lighting on top. The top variant of Invicto is one down from the top variant of Innova Hycross which means a more affordable price tag but also means there are no Ottoman Seats and no JBL-powered music system.
Dedicated AC vents for all three rows is great and this alone would ensure that not many would complain of being thrown to the last row. Space here is one of the best on any three-row vehicle in the country and there are storage and charging options galore too.
With all three rows up, there is 239 litres of boot space and that is generous enough for short trips. But this space can be expanded to up to 600 litres depending on how the seats are folded. And more luggage may not necessarily mean more muscle power because the Invicto comes with powered tailgate, something the Hycross does not have.
But back to the business end of the vehicle and the front row passenger and driver can look forward to a 10.1-inch infotainment screen - the largest ever inside a Maruti vehicle. It supports the usual fare of Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Suzuki Connect for remote operations.
The seven-inch all-digital driver display, in comparison, is a let down and looks arcade-ish. This is also the same unit that is inside the Innova Hycross and the only other alternative would have been the screen that is on the Brezza and Grand Vitara - not too great for a premium MPV either.
But what makes up for this are factors like decent materials on the dashboard and seats (ventilated), power-adjustable driver seat with memory function, a bronze outline over the vertically-oriented center console and plenty of storage spaces here as well.
The cabin of the Invicto too isn't radically different from that of the Innova Hycross and this once again helps its cause. There is acres of space and the promise of a lot of comfort. The feature list is decent but while powered tailgate and ambient lighting on top are Invicto-exclusive, there is not much that is otherwise radically different.
It is very important to note first up that the Invicto is only offered with the strong hybrid technology and therefore, any price comparisons with the most-affordable variant of the Innova Hycross - the mild-hybrid versions - won't be fair.
That said, the Invicto makes use of the same trusty 2.0-litre petrol motor that is under the hood of the Innova Hycross as well. This engine comes mated to an e-CVT transmission unit and puts out a total of 184 hp and offers a little over 200 Nm of torque. What these figures mean for the large MPV in the real world is a steady drive trait with a lot of pulling power if and when required.
Although this test unit had just two occupants and no luggage, the Invicto's drive through Jodhpur city and on the highways just outside provided - yet again - ample examples of just why the mechanics are so much fun. The Invicto - much like the Innova Hycross - drives like a car despite its proportions and weights while munching mile after mile with tireless ease.
The steering is typically well set up and the three drive modes - including Sports - provides a healthy dose of the character that is sought. Triple-digit speeds come up relatively quick and the Invicto remains well composed through it all.
The suspension, however, is a slight let down and is a tad too soft for personal preferences. What this means is that regardless of speeds, one would inevitably notice slight and constant jitters from the seats. This is the only one noticable blemish in what is otherwise a great drive and ride experience here.
It isn't easy to mount a challenge to the Innova - Crysta or Hycross. Many a valiant challenger has come and withered away. So in many ways, it would have taken a twin brother to launch what could be a scathing challenge for the crown. And that is precisely what the Maruti Suzuki Invicto is and does.
The Invicto is a confident, spacious and premium offering that replicates the strengths of Innova Hycross point-by-point. The question then is if the potential buyer would choose it over Innova? Much would depend on the goodwill that Maruti Suzuki's sales and service network is able to extend to an entirely different crop of buyers, many of whom swear by Toyota's robust network. A lot would also depend on waiting periods for both vehicles and how quickly each company is able to fulfil order banks even if the production takes place at the same Bidadi facility.
Invicto won't rake up numbers Maruti Suzuki is accustomed to. But the company isn't expecting thousands and thousands of Invictos to be offloaded either. Instead, it is a strong show of intent that an already fast-diversifying model lineup is alive and buzzing.
