The Toyota Innova Hycross-based [Maruti Invicto](https://www.cardekho.com/maruti/invicto) has been launched with prices starting from Rs 24.79 lakh (introductory ex-showroom pan-India). It has become Maruti’s new flagship model while sitting atop the XL6 in its MPV lineup, and is offered via the carmaker’s Nexa line of showrooms.
In this story, let’s see how its prices compare to those of its MPV rivals and alternatives:
## Petrol-auto

The Maruti Invicto has the highest entry point pricing here, but that’s because it’s only available with the 2-litre petrol-hybrid powertrain. Meanwhile, its donor model, the Innova Hycross has a more affordable entry variant by a margin of around Rs 5 lakh, the GX, which comes without any electrification and offers fewer features too.

Also, the Invicto is only offered in two variants – Zeta+ and Alpha+. Both are fairly well equipped and are closest to the Hycross’ VX and ZX hybrid variants respectively in terms of features. However, in those comparable variants, the Maruti MPV is more affordable.
The Invicto Zeta+ costs Rs 49,000 less than the Hycross VX Hybrid while the Alpha+ undercuts the ZX Hybrid by Rs 1.2 lakh. There is a good reason for the price gap between them, as the Maruti MPV does not get the exact same feature list as those variants and misses out on some features and comforts in each comparison.
Both the Invicto and Innova Hycross’ hybrid variants get a 186PS (combined) 2-litre strong-hybrid powertrain, paired with an e-CVT. It offers a claimed mileage of 23.34kmpl.
Understandably, the [Kia Carens](https://www.cardekho.com/kia/carens) is the most affordable option on this list as the Invicto and Innova Hycross are a segment above in terms of size, design and performance. Even in its fully-loaded specification with the new 160PS turbo-petrol engine mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, the Kia MPV is more affordable than the entry-level Invicto by around Rs 6.3 lakh.
The entry-level [Toyota Innova Hycross](https://www.cardekho.com/toyota/innova-hycross) with only its naturally-aspirated 2-litre petrol engine is also pricier by over Rs 1 lakh and offers just the bare-minimum feature comforts. Only the Hycross G variant is priced close to the top-spec Carens, but Toyota sells that exclusively to fleet buyers.
The Kia MPV also has two other powertrain options – the 115PS 1.5-litre naturally aspirated unit that powers the most affordable variants, and the other is a 115PS 1.5-litre diesel engine. All of the Caren’s engines get their own choice of automatic transmission, while the turbo-petrol and diesel engines come with 6-speed iMT (manual without clutch pedal) as standard.

Being the premium offering of the two, the Innova Hycross has certain feature advantages over the Maruti such as ottoman functionality for the captain seats, JBL sound system, 18-inch alloy wheels, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
However, if you’re in the market for a good old diesel MPV, you can also look at the Toyota Innova Crysta which is priced from Rs 19.38 lakh to Rs 25.68 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). But, it’s only available with a manual transmission and doesn’t offer any of the premium comforts seen on the Invicto and Innova Hycross.
