After Maruti Dzire and Maruti Victoris, the Maruti Invicto becomes the third Maruti offering to score a full 5-star safety rating in the Bharat NCAP crash test. It’s worth noting that the Invicto is essentially a rebadged version of the Toyota Innova Hycross, which was tested earlier and delivered similar results.

In this test, child restraint systems (facing rearward) were installed with the help of ISOFIX child seat anchorages. Both 3-year old and 18 months old child dummies scored a full 8 out of 8 and 4 out of 4 points for frontal and side crash tests, respectively. Hence, the Invicto also got a full 5-star safety rating in child occupant protection.
Safety Features On Offer
The Maruti Invicto comes with safety features such as 6 airbags, a 360-degree camera, electronic stability control (ESC), electronic parking brake, front and rear parking sensors, and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
That said, unlike the Toyota Innova Hycross, the Invicto misses out on level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Price & Rivals
The Maruti Invicto is priced between Rs 24.97 lakh and Rs 28.61 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It takes on the Toyota Innova Hycross and Toyota Innova Crysta, and can be regarded as a more premium alternative to the Maruti Ertiga, Maruti XL6, Kia Carens and Kia Carens Clavis.
