- Since the Invicto is a rebadged version of the Innova Hycross, it will share its underpinning, powertrain, design and features with its Toyota counterpart. However, there will be brand-specific cosmetic changes to distinguish the two.
- The Maruti Invicto will be offered with Toyota’s 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine, available with or without strong hybrid technology. With the latter, it is expected to return a fuel efficiency of around 21.1 kmpl.
- Speaking of the features, it will be the first product from Maruti to get the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), which will include features like adaptive cruise control, high beam assist, lane trace assist, rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, pre-collision system and more.
- Other notable features of this upcoming MPV will include auto AC, rear AC vents, floating infotainment, connected car tech, wireless Apple Carplay & Android Auto, digital instrument cluster, panoramic sunroof, wireless smartphone charging, 360-degree camera, up to 6 airbags, ESC, hill hold assist and much more.
- We expect Maruti Suzuki to position its highly anticipated flagship MPV in the price range of Rs 19 lakh to Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom), making it an affordable alternative to the Kia Carnival.
