The Invicto gets drive modes that basically alter the throttle response as well as the behaviour of the internal combustion engine. There is a dedicated EV mode button that will let you drive the car as an EV for the max distance possible.
Maruti Invicto Pros
- A great-looking MPV. SUV’ish styling packs appeal
- Nicely designed interiors, good comfort in all 3 rows and usable boot (even with third-row up)
- Many Maruti dealers across the country are currently offering faster delivery than that for the Innova Hycross
- Loaded with features such as a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, dual-zone climate control, 360-degree camera, connected car features, leather upholstery, drive modes, paddle shifters, ambient lighting etc.
- Hybrid powertrain makes it lighter on the pocket than a diesel and future-proof too. Very good fuel efficiency
- Lower emissions will appeal to environmentally-conscious buyers. And those who aren’t ready for an EV yet
- Impressively fast for an MUV. Very quick straight-line performance
- Monocoque construction results in sorted handling, comfortable ride quality & overall better driving experience than a body-on-frame UV
- Brilliant NVH levels result in a quiet and serene experience inside the cabin
- Toyota’s bullet-proof reliability combined with Maruti’s excellent after-sales service and fuss-free ownership experiences
- Safety features such as 6 airbags, ABS, ESP, TC, all-wheel disc brakes, hill hold, TPMS, ISOFIX & 3-point seatbelts for all
Maruti Invicto Cons
- Expensive with on-road price crossing Rs. 35 lakhs. This is the most expensive car Maruti has ever sold
- Toyota offers you a longer warranty, better badge (the big “T”) and nameplate (“Innova”)
- Top-end variant is only available with captain seats in the middle row. No bench option is inexplicable!!
- Innova Hycross has more features. Missing on the Maruti are Ottoman seats, ADAS, fore & aft adjustment levers on the second-row seatbacks, foglamps, 9-speaker JBL system etc.
- 17″ wheels with 60 profile tyres compromise the overall stance; they look very small
- Monocoque construction won’t be as rugged & abuse-friendly as a body-on-frame build
- Interior plastic quality is very mediocre, some parts feel budget-grade
- Non-hybrid regular petrol engine unavailable on Invicto (it is sold on the Hycross). Further, Invicto is available only in 4 colours and 2 variants
- Poor sound quality from the 6-speaker system (subwoofer missing too), poor camera resolution and a basic infotainment system display
- Both cars – the Invicto & Hycross – don’t offer rain-sensing wipers or lumbar adjustment
- The already-good ride quality could be even better with higher profile tyres (e.g. on craters)
