Maruti Suzuki Invicto Alpha Plus : Introduction – The Premium Seven-Seater Experience

Hello friends, welcome back to the channel.

So today, we have in front of you the Maruti Suzuki Invicto Alpha Plus, which is the top variant in the seven-seater lineup. The Invicto and Toyota Hycross are basically the same cars — only the brand names differ. From interior to exterior, everything looks almost identical. Even the key fob is similar, featuring Suzuki’s logo with lock and unlock buttons.

 

Exterior Design and Styling

The front grille of Invicto is slightly different, and there’s a minor change in the DRLs compared to the Hycross. Otherwise, both look almost the same.

When it comes to pricing, Invicto is slightly more affordable. Its ex-showroom price is around ₹29 lakh, which makes it a bit more value-oriented than the Hycross.

 

Front Look and Lighting Setup

The car features a three-piece LED headlight setup with DRLs and LED indicators.

At the front, you get four parking sensors and a 360° camera, integrated into a radiator grille with grey chrome finishing and a sculpted bumper design.

 

Alloy Wheels and Suspension

You get diamond-cut, machine-finished alloy wheels sized 17 inches, with 215/60 R17 tyres.

For suspension, Invicto uses a MacPherson strut setup in the front and a rear torsion beam suspension. The front also gets ventilated disc brakes for improved stopping power.

 

Side Profile and Dimensions

The ORVMs are auto-folding, and cameras are mounted underneath for the 360° view system.

In terms of dimensions, the car feels large and commanding, and it has a kerb weight of around 1685 kg, giving it a solid stance on the road.

 

Body Finish and Details

Door handles are body-coloured with chrome finishing, and the overall exterior design looks premium.

The fuel tank capacity is around 50–52 litres, which complements its hybrid efficiency quite well.

 

Rear Profile and Boot Space

The rear design of the Invicto looks almost identical to the Hycross.

It features the Suzuki logo, Invicto badging, three-piece LED tail lights, rear wiper, defogger, roof spoiler, and Smart Hybrid badging.

 

Mileage and Practical Utility

Mileage is one of the biggest highlights — this car offers excellent fuel efficiency for its size.

It comes with a shark-fin antenna, a panoramic sunroof, and an electric tailgate.

You get 239 litres of boot space, which can be increased by folding the third-row seats. The electric tailgate can be easily closed with just one button press.

 

Interior – Space, Style, and Comfort

Once you step inside, the Invicto feels incredibly premium and spacious.

The bronze and black dual-tone interior theme adds a classy feel. Chrome touches on the door handles, soft-touch materials, and ample bottle holders enhance the cabin experience.

 

Second Row and Captain Seats

You get captain seats in the second row — a true luxury in a seven-seater.

The advantage of captain seats is that there’s no compromise on comfort or space. You can stretch your legs comfortably, and each seat has its own armrest which folds neatly.

Access to the third row is also easy, thanks to the walk-through space between the captain chairs.

 

Rear AC and Passenger Features

You get rear AC controls, dual-zone climate control, and two Type-C charging ports in the second row.

There’s no central hump, which ensures a flat floor for all passengers.

The leather upholstery adds to the comfort, and the seats can recline for a more relaxed position.

Even in the third row, space is decent and comfortable for short journeys, with AC vents and halogen roof lights.

 

Front Cabin and Driver Experience

The dashboard design looks elegant, with a premium soft-touch leather finish throughout.

The front cabin feels wide and luxurious. The driver’s door gets memory seat options (two presets), chrome handles, one-touch power window, auto-folding ORVMs, and ample door storage.

 

Driver Seat and Controls

You get 6-way electrically adjustable driver seats, making it easy to find your perfect driving position.

The steering wheel feels smooth and comfortable to grip.

Behind it, the instrument cluster looks identical to that of the Hycross — with a digital MID showing battery charging, fuel economy, and other hybrid details.

The steering is tilt and telescopic adjustable, ensuring a comfortable posture for all driver heights.

 

Infotainment and Connectivity

At the centre, there’s a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support.

The system is connected to six speakers.

The 360° camera quality, however, could have been better considering the ₹30+ lakh price tag.

Both front seats are ventilated, and the car offers dual-zone climate control.

The automatic transmission can also be used in manual mode via paddle shifters, giving an engaging driving experience.

 

Driving Modes and Performance

You get Eco and Power driving modes.

In Power mode, performance increases but mileage drops slightly.

Maruti claims a mileage of 23.24 kmpl, though many owners have achieved up to 26–27 kmpl in real-world conditions.

 

Convenience and Practical Features

The cabin includes cup holders, USB and Type-C ports, and a leather-covered armrest with internal storage.

There’s also an auto-dimming IRVM, vanity mirrors with halogen lights for both driver and passenger sides, and a panoramic sunroof with an upgraded, heavier shade cover.

 

Glovebox and Storage

The glovebox provides good space and includes an accessory power outlet.

The entire dashboard is leather-finished, giving the Invicto a luxury car feel.

 

Safety Features

The Invicto Alpha Plus doesn’t compromise on safety. It offers:

• 6 airbags
• ABS with EBD
• Hill Assist Control
• TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
• Rear Camera with 360° View
• Seatbelt Pretensioners and Limiters
• ISOFIX Child Seat Mounts
• Central Locking, Child Safety Locks, Engine Immobilizer
• Speed Alert and Power Windows with Anti-Pinch

The rubberized dashboard material and high-quality door panels give the car a strong and refined touch.

 

Engine and Technical Specifications

Under the hood, the Invicto Alpha Plus houses a 1987cc petrol-hybrid engine, paired with an AC synchronous motor.

It delivers 150 BHP of power and 188 Nm of torque, through a 4-cylinder configuration.

It uses a Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack, with an e-CVT automatic transmission and Front Wheel Drive setup.

 

Pricing and Value Comparison

Talking about the pricing, the Maruti Suzuki Invicto Alpha Plus 7-seater comes with an ex-showroom price of ₹29,22,000, and the on-road price is around ₹33,40,000.

That’s ₹1.5–2 lakh cheaper than the Toyota Hycross, which makes it a great value-for-money luxury MPV.
