Badge reengineering is synonymous with the automotive industry as the selection of tyres on most vehicles. It brings together some of the best automotive engineers working as a team towards making a product that matches both or more companies' standards. Despite being one of India's most successful Toyota products, Thou shall not be named. Toyota and Maruti Suzuki have come up with some fantastic products over the years, and this year, Maruti Suzuki brings us their flagship MPV for the year, Maruti Suzuki Invicto. Co-innovated with Toyota India, the Invicto brings size, quality and features, unlike anything in Maruti Suzuki India's arsenal.
DESIGNED TO IMPRESS AND ACCOMMODATE
The Maruti Suzuki Invicto is a large MPV and brings a familiar giant charm. With the generous size of LxWxHxWB (mm) - 4755x1850x1795x2850, the Invicto also sports a 185mm ground clearance. This makes the Invicto the longest car in Maruti Suzuki India's stable ever! The Invicto sports a monocoque chassis on 17-inch wheels, allowing this large, behemoth SUV-ish car to handle like a large hatchback in an FWD configuration. Complementing that driving dynamic despite the large size is an electronic steering, comfortable and well-balanced suspension setup, and disc brakes on all tyres.
The exterior is functional and features one of the largest panoramic openable sunroofs Maruti cars have ever seen. Maruti innovated the shared fascia to resemble their Nexa-styled cars. Together with the Nexa 3-point LED treatment front and rear, with the chrome bling and Suzuki batch, the Invicto is one handsome MPV and impresses with its style and sheer presence. The 17-inch alloys may seem downsized but allow for versatile tyre combinations, and thicker, wider, larger grippier tyres will be a nice upgrade for aesthetics, functionality and sacred geometry.
