First Look At Maruti Invicto’s Cabin Shows Clear Changes Over Hycross

The Innova Hycross-based MPV will be Maruti’s flagship model when launched on July 5

Update (05/07/23): Maruti Invicto has been launched in India, with prices starting from Rs 24.79 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom pan India).

• The spy shot shows the presence of a sunroof.

• Gets the same cabin as the Innova Hycross but with a black colour scheme.

• Likely to be offered only with a strong-hybrid powertrain.

• Expected to be priced over Rs 25 lakh (ex-showroom).

Maruti has been teasing its upcoming MPV, the Maruti Invicto, for a while and the strong hybrid MPV has also been spotted undisguised before. Now, for the first time, images of its cabin have emerged online and we can have a clear look at what the Innova Hycross-based Invicto has to offer.

What We See

Since the Invicto is based on the Innova Hycross, their cabin design and layout are nearly identical. Just like the Hycross, the Invicto gets a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with the same design for the center console and dashboard. Even the design and positioning of the AC vents are the same, and the steering wheel is same too save for the Suzuki logo. 

But in the Invicto, changes can be seen in the colour scheme. While the Hycross gets a black and brown dual-tone cabin with silver elements on the doors, AC vents and center console, the Invicto, on the other hand, gets an all-black cabin with champagne colour elements replacing the silver ones.

Also, in this spied unit, a sunroof is clearly visible from the inside.

Powertrain

As per some reports and dealer sources, the Invicto will likely be offered only in a strong-hybrid version with a 186PS, 2-litre petrol engine mated to an eCVT gearbox. The 2-litre non-hybrid petrol engine (174PS and 205Nm) with a CVT gearbox could be skipped.

Features and Safety

From this sighting and a previous teaser, it is confirmed that the Invicto will get a powered driver seat with memory function and ventilated front seats. It will also get features like a digital driver’s display, wireless phone charging, dual zone climate control, six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and a suite of ADAS features like lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking.

Price and Rivals

Maruti will launch the Invicto on July 5 and we expect it to be priced over Rs 25 lakh (ex-showroom). It will be a rival to the Toyota Innova Hycross and will also act as a premium alternative to the Kia Carens, Mahindra Marazzo and Toyota Innova Crysta.
