The Maruti Suzuki Invicto is a premium strong-hybrid MPV sold exclusively through Nexa dealerships, priced from ₹24.97 lakh to ₹28.61 lakh (ex-showroom). It is powered by a 2.0-litre Intelligent Electric Hybrid system paired with an e-CVT, delivering a claimed ARAI mileage of 23.24 km/l — making it one of the most fuel-efficient 7–8 seater MPVs on sale in India. The self-charging hybrid can run on pure electric power for up to 60% of city driving time, requiring no external charging.
The Invicto is built on the same platform as the Toyota Innova Hycross and targets buyers who want the space and practicality of a three-row MPV combined with the running economy of a hybrid. It is available in three variants — Zeta+ in 7-seater and 8-seater configurations, and the flagship Alpha+ in 7-seater form — all of which come exclusively with the strong-hybrid petrol powertrain and e-CVT. No diesel, CNG, or manual gearbox option is offered.
Inside, the Invicto punches well above its price with a premium all-black cabin featuring champagne gold accents, leatherette upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat with memory function, and a SmartPlay Magnum+ infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Suzuki Connect telematics suite adds over 26 connected-car features including smartwatch connectivity, remote operations, Alexa capability, and vehicle tracking.
Engines, mileage, and running cost
The Invicto uses a single powertrain across all variants: a 1,987 cc (2.0-litre) petrol engine mated to Maruti's Intelligent Electric Hybrid system and an e-CVT gearbox. The system produces 150 bhp and 188 Nm of torque, with the electric motor delivering instant torque for responsive city performance. There is no diesel, CNG, or manual option — the strong hybrid is the only choice.
ARAI-claimed mileage is 23.24 km/l for every variant, which is exceptional for a vehicle of this size and weight. The hybrid system allows the Invicto to run on pure electric power for up to 60% of city driving time, significantly cutting fuel bills in stop-and-go traffic. Regenerative braking continuously tops up the battery, so there is no need for external charging. At ₹100 per litre of petrol, a typical 60 km daily commute works out to roughly ₹7,745 per month in fuel costs — competitive with far smaller cars.
The fuel tank capacity is 52 litres (Zeta+ variants), giving a theoretical range of over 1,200 km on a full tank under ideal conditions. Running costs are further reduced by the absence of a clutch and the generally lower wear on brakes thanks to regenerative braking.
Performance and drive
The 2.0-litre hybrid unit delivers smooth, linear power delivery characteristic of e-CVT systems. The electric motor fills in torque at low speeds, making city driving effortless and near-silent when in EV mode. Paddle shifters are fitted to allow the driver to modulate regenerative braking and simulate gear steps for a more engaging feel on winding roads or during overtakes.
On the highway, the Invicto's 150 bhp output is adequate for a loaded 7–8 seater MPV, though the e-CVT's rubber-band sensation at full throttle is a characteristic of the powertrain type rather than a flaw. The FWD layout keeps the driving experience predictable and easy to manage. An Energy Flow Monitor screen lets occupants see in real time whether the car is running on electricity, petrol, or a combination — a useful tool for maximising efficiency.
The Invicto shares its TNGA-C platform with the Toyota Innova Hycross, which means it benefits from a well-sorted suspension tune that balances ride comfort over broken roads with reasonable body control through corners. Ground clearance figures were not disclosed by the manufacturer.
Cabin, space, and tech
The Invicto's interior is one of its strongest selling points. The all-black cabin with champagne gold accents, soft-touch materials, and leatherette upholstery gives it a genuinely premium feel that is unusual at this price point in the Maruti lineup. The panoramic sunroof floods the cabin with light and pairs with ambient lighting for an upmarket atmosphere.
The driver's seat is 8-way power adjustable with a memory function — a segment-relevant feature for households where multiple people drive the same car. Rear passengers benefit from auto AC vents for faster second-row cooling. The Zeta+ is available in both 7-seat (captain chairs in the second row) and 8-seat (bench) configurations, giving buyers flexibility. The Alpha+ is 7-seat only.
The SmartPlay Magnum+ infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and real-time navigation with premium audio. Suzuki Connect adds over 26 connected-car features: smartwatch connectivity, remote operations, Alexa remote capability, vehicle tracking, safety and security alerts, vehicle status alerts, and trip and driving behaviour analysis. The Invicto measures 4,755 mm in length, 1,850 mm in width, and rides on a 2,850 mm wheelbase — dimensions that translate into genuinely generous three-row space.
Safety and ADAS
The Invicto comes standard with 6 airbags — front, side, and curtain — providing comprehensive coverage for all three rows. Additional safety hardware includes a 360° View Camera with dynamic guidelines for parking, Electronic Power Brake for enhanced braking efficiency, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) for real-time tyre pressure alerts, and Suzuki Connect's e-Call button for emergency assistance.
The Invicto has not been rated by Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP as of the time of writing. The official manufacturer data does not list any Level 2 ADAS features (lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, etc.) for the Invicto — buyers who prioritise ADAS should note that the Maruti Victoris SUV offers Level 2 ADAS at a lower price point.
Variants and pricing
The Invicto is available in three variants, all with the strong-hybrid e-CVT powertrain:
| Variant | Config | Ex-showroom Price |
|---|---|---|
| Zeta+ 7-seater | 7 seats | ₹24.97 lakh |
| Zeta+ 8-seater | 8 seats | ₹25.02 lakh |
| Alpha+ 7-seater | 7 seats | ₹28.61 lakh |
The Zeta+ variants offer the core luxury and hybrid efficiency package at a relatively accessible entry price. The Alpha+ adds the panoramic sunroof, larger touchscreen, and flagship comfort features for a ₹3.59 lakh premium over the Zeta+ 7-seater. All prices are ex-showroom; on-road costs vary by city and state. Maruti Nexa dealerships are offering benefits on the Invicto in September 2026 — check with your nearest outlet for current offers.
How it compares
The Invicto's closest rival is the Toyota Innova Hycross, which shares the same platform and hybrid system but is priced higher and sold through Toyota's network. Against the Kia Carens Clavis and Renault Triber, the Invicto is significantly more expensive but offers a strong-hybrid powertrain and a far more premium cabin. The Hyundai Alcazar and Maruti XL6 are cheaper but lack the hybrid efficiency and three-row premium feel.
For buyers cross-shopping within the Maruti Nexa family, the Invicto sits well above the XL6 in price and positioning. The Maruti Victoris, sold through Arena, offers Level 2 ADAS and a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating at a lower price, but it is a 5-seat SUV — not a three-row MPV. The Invicto's 23.24 km/l claimed mileage is hard to match in the three-row segment.
Who should buy it
The Invicto is best suited to large families — typically four or more members — who regularly need three rows of usable seating and want to minimise fuel costs over a long ownership period. The strong-hybrid system makes the most sense for buyers who cover significant city mileage, where the EV mode delivers the greatest savings. It is also a strong choice for buyers in cities with high petrol prices or those concerned about future emission regulations.
Buyers who prioritise ADAS features, an NCAP safety rating, or a lower entry price should consider the Maruti Victoris or Hyundai Alcazar instead. Those who want a diesel option or a manual gearbox will need to look elsewhere — the Invicto is hybrid-only and automatic-only.

What is the mileage of the Maruti Invicto?
Maruti claims an ARAI-certified mileage of 23.24 km/l for all three Invicto variants. This figure applies to both the 7-seat and 8-seat configurations. The strong-hybrid system can run on pure electric power for up to 60% of city driving time, which helps achieve this efficiency.
Is the Maruti Invicto worth buying?
The Invicto is a strong choice for large families who need three rows of seating and want to minimise fuel costs — its 23.24 km/l claimed mileage is class-leading for an MPV. However, buyers who prioritise ADAS safety features or an NCAP crash-test rating may find the Maruti Victoris or Hyundai Alcazar more suitable at a lower price.
Which engine options does the Maruti Invicto get?
The Invicto is available with a single powertrain: a 2.0-litre (1,987 cc) Intelligent Electric Hybrid petrol engine paired with an e-CVT. It produces 150 bhp and 188 Nm of torque. There is no diesel, CNG, or manual gearbox option.
Does the Maruti Invicto have ADAS?
No. The official Maruti Suzuki manufacturer data does not list any Level 2 ADAS features such as adaptive cruise control or lane keep assist for the Invicto. Safety technology is limited to 6 airbags, a 360° View Camera, Electronic Power Brake, TPMS, and the Suzuki Connect e-Call emergency button.
Is the Maruti Invicto safe?
The Invicto comes with 6 airbags (front, side, and curtain), a 360° View Camera, Electronic Power Brake, and TPMS as standard. However, it has not received a Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP crash-test rating as of September 2026, so an independent structural safety benchmark is not yet available.

What is the difference between the Invicto Zeta+ and Alpha+ variants?
Both variants share the same 2.0-litre strong-hybrid e-CVT powertrain and 23.24 km/l claimed mileage. The Alpha+ (₹28.61 lakh) adds flagship features such as a panoramic sunroof and a larger touchscreen over the Zeta+ (from ₹24.97 lakh). The Zeta+ is also the only variant available in an 8-seat configuration.
