Maruti Suzuki Invicto, the re-badged Toyota Innova Hycross from the Indo-Japanese automaker, is all set to go on sale in July. Bookings for the three-row MPV will be officially commenced on 19th June 2023. In the company’s product portfolio, the new Maruti Invicto will be the third MPV and the most expensive model that’s expected to cost above Rs 20 lakh. The carmaker believes that the premium, three-row vehicle segment attracts both MPV and SUV buyers. Similar to the Grand Vitara, the new Maruti MPV will be manufactured at Toyota’s Bidadi plant.
Based on Toyota’s TNGA-C architecture, the Invicto will come with the 183bhp, 2.0L strong hybrid and 173bhp, 2.0L petrol powertrains. While the former will be available with an e-CVT gearbox, the latter will get a CVT automatic transmission. Interestingly, the Maruti Invicto will be the brand’s first automatic-only model.
Dimensionally, the new Maruti MPV will be similar to the Innova Hycross. However, it will receive some noticeable changes on the exterior. The latest spy images reveal that the model will have a trapezoidal grille with a chrome bar, differently designed front bumper, LED DRLs and alloy wheels.

The MPV’s steering wheel will have Maruti Suzuki’s logo. There will be three-point seat belts for all passengers along with 6 airbags, traction control, ABS and EBD and electronic stability program.
The new Maruti Invicto will be offered with two seating configurations – 7-seats and 8-seats. The 7-seater version will have two captain’s chairs with ottoman function for the middle row. The 8-seater model will offer bench seats for the second and third rows.
