Maruti Suzuki Invicto Scores 5 Stars in Bharat NCAP Crash Test. Maruti Suzuki Invicto body is built from “robust structural stability” which is intended to protect occupants in front, side and pedestrian crashes. During testing it recorded 30.43/32 points for adult occupant protection and 45/49 for child occupant.
This shining success evidenced an all-inclusive protection package. It offers six airbags (front, side and curtain), ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with hill-hold assist, an electronic parking brake (with auto-hold), tyre-pressure monitoring, ISOFIX child‐seat anchors and a 360° surround-view camera with dynamic guidelines.
These technologies – as Maruti’s NEXA Safety Shield, helping the Invicto to score high in crash tests and keep all occupants safe.
Ready-to-Road Engineers: Clearances and Handling
The chassis of the Invicto is appropriate for India’s varying roads. It’s placed on a platform of Toyota (similar to the Innova Hycross) with an extended wheelbase (2850 mm) and 185 mm high ground clearance, broad enough to easily tackle speed breakers and potholed country roads. Front suspension is through MacPherson struts and a torsion-beam rear arrangement.
Its outstanding tune makes the ride smooth and stable, the cabin comes to rest swiftly even at moderate speeds and bumps are absorbed elegantly
While big, the Invicto does not ride anxiously; it steers lightly enough to accommodate urban use and “high-speed stability is tremendous”, providing a boost of confidence on highways.
In short, the chassis and brakes are capable of handling India’s uneven roads with the necessary comfort and strength demanded of a big MPV.
Family-Friendly Space and Comfort
From the inside, the Invicto is certainly spacious. Maruti offers it in Zeta+ (base) and top versions of Alpha+. There is a 7- or 8-seat version of the Zeta+, with textile upholstery, while the Alpha+ has a 6-seat version with leatherette finish.
Second-row captains (Alpha+) recline and move without restriction – many former buyers praise the abundant second-row legroom and headroom
Even the third row has space for adults, there are accommodations here for two passengers to seat abreast comfortably thanks to wide shoulder spacing, a relatively upright backrest and under-thigh support like large MPVs
All seats upright, luggage capacity is around 289 litres, enough for several weekend cases. Folding the third row away opens up 690 litres for enormous loads. Comfort and convenience amenities are plentiful, particularly in the high end Alpha+trim.
It comes with a panoramic sunroof, a three-zone automatic climate system with individual vents for peaceful ride. Maruti Suzuki Invicto delivers a comfortable ride for the drivers too with a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a power tailgate, and second-row sunshades. It also equipped with advanced tech like Infotainment with a 10.1‑inch touchscreen (with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto)
There isn’t an elaborate JBL sound setup (Maruti has gone in for a 6-speaker setup, instead), but basics – like USB-C charging points and good storage – are covered. Child protection receives due attention: in addition to the full 5-star child occupant crash test score, the Invicto comes standard with ISOFIX anchor points and a 360° camera to aid parking with children safely on board.
Performance, Powertrain and Variants
Under the bonnet, the Invicto inherits Toyota’s 2.0‑litre petrol strong-hybrid powerplant. There’s a 4‑cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor and battery together to provide an approximate combined output of 184 bhp. All of this power is transmitted to the front wheels through a smooth e-CVT automatic transmission.
There’s no diesel variant from Maruti in this trim – efficiency is what’s focused here. The setup has an estimated efficiency of approximately 23.2 km/l (ARAI), but in actual use the hybrid setup excels in city roads while providing stable, instantaneous power during high-speed acceleration on the highway.

Maruti provides the Invicto in two main versions: Zeta+ and Alpha+
Base trim is the Zeta+. It gets 17-inch alloy wheels with LED headlight clusters and exterior chrome trim. It gets cloth upholstery (with center fold-down armrest), an 8-inch touchscreen (with wire-connected smartphone mirroring), a 7-inch digital driver’s instrument cluster, cruise control, and safety features like 6 airbags, 360° camera and all-disc brakes.
The Alpha+ is the flagship: it receives leatherette trim (6-seat format with fold-down middle seat), ventilated front chairs, dual-zone air conditioning, panoramic roof, power tailgate, and tire-pressure monitoring and 360° camera too.
Such high-level placement is justified through pricing. After the September 2025 GST cut, the ex-showroom Delhi price of the Invicto starts from about ₹24.97 lakh with the 7-seater Zeta+, and goes all the way to about ₹28.61 lakh with the Alpha+ all-loaded. (An 8-seater version of the Zeta+ is only marginally more expensive.)
These rates put the Invicto Maruti’s most expensive model ever on the table but competitively positioned alongside its Innova Hycross sibling via Maruti’s value propositions. For the money, patrons take home an Innova-sized MPV with a good safety history, hybrid fuel economy and an assortment of modern amenities.
Conclusion
The Maruti Suzuki Invicto delivers on the promise of a safe and convenient family hauler. It comes with a 5‑star Bharat NCAP rating and six-airbag safety package offers assurance for all rides. Riding is stable and smooth over rough roads, and high ground clearance and strong suspensions also suit Indian roads perfectly. Inside, the interior is roomy and well-equipped – from sliding captain chairs and big sunroof to tri-zone AC and big infotainment screen.
With a hybrid powertrain providing great mileage and ~184 bhp available, efficiency and outright performance are both better than adequate for this sector.
In short, the Invicto is “a very well-rounded MPV, delivering a big punch on space, practicality, features, comfort and fuel-economy”. For Indian customers who want an Innova-like utility with the latest safety and comfort features, there’s a compelling proposition in the Invicto but be prepared to pay a sub-₹30 lakh price tag to get the full-safety peace of mind.
