Offering spacious interiors, impressive fuel efficiency, and premium features, the Invicto emerges as a strong contender for families seeking a versatile and affordable alternative in the premium SUV/MPV segment.
Here's a detailed look at this capable model.
Price and Variants
The Maruti Suzuki Invicto, based on the Toyota Innova Hycross, is available in two variants: Zeta+ and Alpha+. Pricing starts at Rs 25.21 lakh and goes up to Rs 28.92 lakh (ex-showroom), nearly half the cost of the Toyota Fortuner, whose prices range between Rs 33.43 lakh and Rs 51.44 lakh.
Buyers can choose between 7- and 8-seater configurations, making it a flexible choice for larger families. The MPV is offered in five attractive colors: Nexa Blue, Majestic Silver, Mystic White, Magnificent Black, and Stellar Bronze.
Powertrain and Efficiency
Under the hood, the Invicto is powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine coupled with a robust hybrid system. This setup delivers a combined power output of 152 PS and a torque of 188 Nm. An e-CVT gearbox ensures smooth and efficient performance.
One of its standout features is its exceptional fuel efficiency, with a claimed mileage of 23.24 kmpl, making it an economical choice compared to the fuel-hungry Fortuner.
Features and Technology
As Maruti Suzuki’s flagship offering, the Invicto is packed with a suite of premium features. The MPV boasts a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with over 50 connected car functionalities, a 7-inch digital driver display, and a panoramic sunroof. Comfort is enhanced with ventilated front seats, wireless charging, 8-way power-adjustable seats with a memory function, and a powered tailgate.
Safety Features
Safety remains a priority, with the Invicto equipped with six airbags, a 360-degree camera, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), vehicle stability control, front and rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX anchor points for child seats.
Dimensions
The Invicto measures 4,755mm in length, 1,850mm in width, and 1,795mm in height, closely resembling the Toyota Fortuner’s dimensions. Despite its lower price, it offers a similarly commanding road presence and interior space.
