Maruti Suzuki Invicto expert review
Autocar score
First things, first. The Invicto is Marutiโs version of the Toyota Innova Hycross. Visual differences are subtle: a revised grille with twin chrome slats, triple-block DRLs, a reprofiled bumper and tail-lamps. Perhaps a bigger point of difference are the alloy wheels. The Invicto runs on 17-inch rims that look small on such a large vehicle. Maruti opted against 18s to prioritise ride comfort.
The cabin feels familiar to the Hycross, but Marutiโs black and champagne gold theme gives it its own identity. The leatherette upholstery, padded dash, and overall ambience feel upmarket, though some hard plastics remain visible.
The large front seats are comfy, visibility is excellent, and the dashboard layout is user-friendly. Available in 7- and 8-seat layouts, the Invicto offers plenty of space, with the captain seats scoring really well for comfort. An omission, however, is a powered legrest that is part of the package on the Innova Hycross.
Third-row access is easy, and space is decent even for adults. Storage space is generous throughout and the powered tailgate is a handy touch.
The Invicto runs a 186hp strong-hybrid setup combining a 2.0-litre petrol engine and electric motor, paired to an e-CVT. It starts in EV mode and offers silent running in light traffic. Performance is pleasant, though hard acceleration makes the engine sound strained. Paddle shifters and three drive modes enhance flexibility.
With an official figure of 23.24kpl, the Invicto is among the most efficient MPVs. Real-world figures of 13.1kpl (city) and 16.1kpl (highway) are impressive.
The Invicto feels smaller than it is, with light steering and a tight turning circle. The ride is absorbent and composed, though road noise is noticeable. Handling is tidy, but front-wheel drive and the monocoque structure mean the Invicto lacks the invincibility of rear drive and ladder-frame MPVs.
Available only in top Zeta+ and Alpha+ trims, the Invicto gets features like a powered driverโs seat with memory, ventilated front seats, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control and a 360-degree camera. The 10.1-inch touchscreen feels dull, though Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are supported.
Six airbags, ESC, hill start assist and ISOFIX mounts are standard, but thereโs no ADAS suite as on the Hycross.
The Invicto has the size, features, comfort and efficiency buyers want. Itโs slightly cheaper than the Hycross but loses out on a few features. The bigger question is, will you be happy to spend Rs 30 lakh on a Maruti?

Asked by: Niaon Feb 13, 2026
I am writing to ask for advice for the third time. Age 61. Monthly travel is 800-1,000km, sometimes more. Mostly travel to work and back, plus occasional outstation holiday trips. Outstation long-distance trips may increase in the coming years. I am looking for a reliable and comfortable 5 or 7-seater with good luggage space and good mileage. The vehicle can be petrol, hybrid, diesel or other. It is important that service in case of a breakdown is available across India. Budget up to Rs 35 lakh. Please guide.
The Toyota Innova HyCross hybrid or Maruti Suzuki Invicto hybrid are your best bets. These cars have an efficient hybrid powertrain that's likely to deliver around 13kpl in the city and 16kpl on the highway. Moreover, getting in and out is quite easy, the seats are comfortable, and the boot space is plenty. Also, despite being large cars, these are surprisingly easy to drive due to their light steering and good visibility.
Lastly, both Toyota and Maruti have stellar reputations for their after-sales service and reliability, so you're likely to enjoy a trouble-free ownership experience by opting for either of these two.

Asked by: Abhijeet Don Jan 19, 2026
I want to purchase a strong hybrid or plug-in hybrid with a budget of Rs 25-30L for a family of 6. Please suggest a good 6-seater car with a strong safety rating. I am not keen on 7 or 8 seater cars. Good headroom and leg space are important. I prefer well-known brands with lower maintenance costs. I have checked the XL6, but it is only a mild hybrid with a low safety rating, and the Kia Carens Clavis EV is only available as a 7-seater. Any help is appreciated.
Your best bet is either Maruti Suzuki Invicto or Innova HyCross - these are the only two strong hybrid family cars in the market. All other options are either diesel, petrol/turbo-petrol, or electric cars.
You'll be happy to know that the Toyota Innova HyCross has been awarded 5 stars by Bharat NCAP for its crashworthiness. If these are too big for you, you could opt for a Carens Clavis diesel instead, which will be more fuel-efficient and more economical than its turbo-petrol counterpart.

I am looking for a petrol seven-seater with 70% city usage and 30% highway usage. My budget is around Rs 25-26 lakh, and good city mileage is my main priority.
If you can stretch your budget a little, you should consider the Toyota Innova HyCross strong hybrid. The HyCross has a spacious and very comfortable cabin for seven adults, and the 183hp, petrol-electric strong hybrid powertrain has a claimed fuel efficiency of 23.24kpl. Toyota Innova HyCross strong hybrid prices range from Rs 26.30 lakh to Rs 31.30 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
Alternatively, you could also consider the Maruti Suzuki Invicto, which is essentially a rebadged Innova HyCross with the same strong hybrid powertrain. Prices for the Invicto range from Rs 24.97 lakh to Rs 28.70 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

Asked by: Hafiz Kooliyaton Jan 8, 2026
Hello, Sir/Madam. I own a 2009 Honda City that has clocked 2.55 lakh kilometres, and I am extremely happy with it. It's like my second wife. However, due to family pressure, I am now considering upgrading to a new car. I drive around 1,500km a month, mostly on highways, and we are a family of five. The cars I am considering are the XUV 7XO, Invicto, new Seltos, Elevate, or a used Innova Crysta. I would also like advice on an automatic hatchback or compact SUV for my wife. Please advise.
Given you have a family of five, a larger car would work better to accommodate luggage as well, in case any of your 1,500 monthly kilometres are family driving holidays. Since you're used to the rock-solid reliability of the Honda City, we would recommend the Maruti Suzuki Invicto from your shortlist.
The hybrid powertrain of this Maruti car is incredibly efficient, smooth, refined, and very comfortable, and it should be reliable enough to last as long as your City has. The other midsize SUVs you have listed are also good, but they will not offer the same space, comfort, and flexibility as the Invicto.

Asked by: RAJESH SENon Dec 9, 2025
Dear Autocar Team, I am confused about selecting a 7-seater. I am 54 years 54-year-old male and am 5'8". I own a Dzire (diesel), which is close to 11 years old. Now I feel it is a good time to go for a little bigger car within 25 lakhs. I have tested the Mahindra XUV700 diesel AT and liked the driving experience. Now the local dealerships are saying that they are out of stock. Now what should I do, wait for the facelift or go for the Invicto hybrid (the HyCross is out of budget for me)? Please advise.
The Mahindra XUV700 is due for an update, and the model (XUV 7XO as it will be called) goes on sale in January 2026. We'd recommend you wait for it, especially since you liked the driving experience.
The Maruti Suzuki Invicto is a very different kind of vehicle that prioritises passenger comfort and fuel economy. The Invicto has the far nicer third row and makes for a more sensible pick if you will be travelling often with all seats in use. Also, while the Invicto isn't quite as nice to drive as the XUV700, the hybrid system does deliver amazing fuel economy numbers for a vehicle of this size.
Your pick essentially boils down to which aspects you give more weightage to.

Asked by: Abhishek Kon Dec 9, 2025
Iโm looking to buy a new or used car with a monthly running of about 2,000 km (mostly city with a few Mumbai-Pune trips). The car will be mostly chauffeur-driven, so rear-seat comfort and smooth low-speed performance are important. Daily use will be for 2-3 passengers, but I need occasional seating for six. I prefer Hybrid, Diesel, or Electric. My priorities are comfort, reliability, low running costs, and strong service support. My budget is around 25 lakh. Please suggest 3-5 options and include used choices if suitable.
With your extensive usage, we cannot recommend an EV, as you would have to charge it frequently, and that is not good for battery health. In your budget of Rs 25 lakh, there aren't any 6-seater hybrids, either; your only option there is to move up to the Rs 30-lakh-plus Toyota Innova Hycross or Maruti Suzuki Invicto - both of which are excellent choices.
In your budget, the best option is the Kia Carens Clavis diesel. It's well equipped, comfortable and surprisingly spacious for its size. Plus, there are both six and seven-seat versions, so you can choose which configuration suits you best.

Asked by: Sukhvinder Singhon Dec 8, 2025
I want to buy a 7-seater for my family with a 70:30 highway-to-city usage pattern and an annual running of around 10,000 to 12,000km. I am considering the Invicto Zeta Plus with year-end discounts, the HyCross GX, and the XEV 9S. My buying motivators are Comfort, build-to-last quality and low maintenance, as I will be keeping it for a long time. Which one should I choose?
Since the majority of your driving is on the highway, we would rule out the Mahindra XEV 9S, as public charging infrastructure is not yet fully developed on the highway. The Maruti Suzuki Invicto and Toyota Innova HyCross are fundamentally the same cars, which are both very spacious and comfortable.
Besides, they are very reliable too and promise to give you a hassle-free ownership experience throughout their lifecycle with you. The non-hybrid 1.5 petrol variants arenโt very powerful for highway use, but they do the job as a relaxed commuter. Between the Invicto and the HyCross, we would choose the HyCross as it has better resale value, thanks to the lure of the Toyota badge.

Asked by: G Krishnanon Dec 1, 2025
I have gone through your review of the MG M9. Is there a petrol or hybrid option available in that price range for a seven-seater?
No, the only other option you have in the MG M9's price range is the Kia Carnival, which is available with a diesel engine. In case you're looking for a petrol-hybrid, you might want to consider a Toyota Innova HyCross/Maruti Suzuki Invicto, which are significantly cheaper than an MG M9 EV, or consider the Toyota Vellfire, at twice the price of the MG.

I want to buy a seven-seater for my family. I am looking for comfort, safety, low maintenance, and a car that is future-ready with respect to fuel. I am confused between Hybrid and ICE. I am not interested in EVs. My budget is around Rs 25 lakh. Kindly suggest.
You are unlikely to get a hybrid seven-seater at around Rs 25 lakhs, but if you're willing to stretch by a few lakhs, you could get a Maruti Suzuki Invicto, the Hybrid Zeta+ variant. The Invicto is essentially a badge-engineered Toyota HyCross, offering the same level of comfort, efficiency, and features.
Since it isn't as popular as the Innova, Nexa dealers are offering substantial discounts, which means you could get a great deal too. If your usage isn't much, you could consider the Toyota Innova HyCross Petrol CVT, which will easily fit into your budget.

Asked by: Girishkumar Ladon Nov 28, 2025
I currently drive a Kia Carens manual but want to switch to an automatic. My budget is around โน30 lakh, and Iโm looking for a premium 7-seater with strong safety features; a hybrid is also an option. I can increase the budget slightly for the right recommendation.
The Toyota Innova HyCross in VX Hybrid guise will be the best choice considering your requirements. It is a touch above Rs 30 lakh on-road, and the only other strong-hybrid rival is the Maruti Suzuki Invicto, which is a rebadged Hycross.
The Invicto is slightly different in look, and for the same price, it misses out on some features that you get in the VX version of the Hycross.
The Innova Hycross is big on cabin space, reliability and comfort, and it is one of the few SUVs that has a full-size third row that is good enough for adults. The hybrid powertrain also helps in terms of efficiency, and the petrol engine offers a smooth and refined drive on comparison to clattery diesel engines.
