The Invicto is based on the Toyota Innova Hycross, another product from their global partnership. Based on the spy shots and teasers, the Maruti MPV will closely resemble Toyota’s MPV, with some minor design changes at the front and rear. Maruti has already revealed the split chrome grille on the front of the Invicto in an official teaser.

Inside, the Invicto will have the same dashboard layout as the Toyota MPV but with a different dark shade upholstery instead of the brown upholstery in the Hycross.

Similar to the Hycross, the Invicto will have a wide range of features, many of which will be introduced for the first time by Maruti. These amenities include a panoramic sunroof, digital driver’s display, dual-zone AC, ventilated front seats, and a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Safety will be ensured with six airbags, a 360-degree camera, a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features like lane-keep and departure assist, adaptive cruise control, and auto-emergency braking.

New Strong-Hybrid Powertrain

The Invicto is expected to feature the Hycross’s strong-hybrid powertrain, which is the first of its kind from Maruti. This powertrain includes a new 2-litre petrol engine not seen in any other Maruti model. The Toyota petrol-hybrid delivers a combined output of 186PS and 206Nm of torque, paired with an e-CVT automatic transmission.

Expected Price and Competitors

Since the Maruti Invicto is likely to be offered in a single fully loaded variant at launch, it could be priced around Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom). It will directly compete with the Toyota Innova Hycross while providing a premium alternative to the Kia Carens.
