car&bike Expert Take

“The Maruti Suzuki Invicto is living proof that the Indo-Japanese carmaker can make something other than budget cars. For large families who want a reliable and luxurious vehicle, this one has strong value on offer, along with uncompromised usability.”

When Maruti Suzuki introduced the Invicto in 2023, it clearly showed how the brand wanted to provide a different car in the Indian market for the first time. Based on the Toyota Innova Hycross, this flagship MPV sold through the NEXA channel debuted with a refined, hybrid-only powertrain on showroom floors, and it is currently the most expensive offering from the manufacturer’s fleet. The vehicle has two particular elements that stand out: it resonates with formidable road presence, and it also comes with a spacious, three-row cabin, something large families and fleet operators love very much.

The Invicto, in general, is not just about refining Maruti’s badge value; it is about making the premium MPV segment more accessible for Indians. Much of the focus has been on providing comfort, high fuel economy, and straightforward usability here, but it regrettably does skip a few high-end features as well to keep prices competitive.

Seshan Vijayraghvan had tested out this car’s performance and features in detail and had shared his opinion about it both on our website and on our YouTube channel. We have incorporated some of his insights into this review as well.

Pros

  • Excellent real-world fuel economy from the hybrid engine
  • Fantastic ride comfort over broken roads
  • Spacious cabin with a highly usable third row

Cons

  • Missing essential flagship features like ADAS
  • No standard petrol or diesel engine options
  • Android Auto is not wireless

Verdict

The Maruti Suzuki Invicto is a highly practical people mover that can successfully compete for the brand in the premium segment. It ditches the traditional heavy, body-on-frame structure for a car-like monocoque chassis, and the result is a beautifully composed ride. The 2.0-litre strong-hybrid engine is the star of the show here.

Yes, it skips out on a few high-end features like the powered ottoman seats and Level 2 ADAS (or even Level 1) to keep prices slightly below its Toyota sibling. But for most buyers, those omissions will not be dealbreakers. If you need a spacious, highly efficient, and incredibly comfortable family cruiser, the Invicto is a genuine step up for loyal Maruti customers seeking luxury.

Seshan concludes,

“In a nutshell, the Maruti Suzuki Invicto is certainly a capable, and well-equipped product. It proves Maruti can do luxury just as well as they do economy.”
