Maruti Suzuki has now adapted the Toyota Innova Hycross to become a Maruti Suzuki. So does it make sense to buy the Maruti Suzuki or is it better to stick to Toyota? We find the answer to that question

The invincible

The collaboration between Toyota and Maruti Suzuki has spawned many a car. The Maruti Suzuki Baleno was sold as the Toyota Glanza and the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara appeared as the Toyota Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. Now though, Maruti Suzuki has launched the Maruti Suzuki Invicto, which is based on the Toyota Innova Hycross. So does it make sense to buy the Invicto?

1. The interiors come in dual-tone scheme with black being the primary shade.

2. The instrument panel is a mix of digital and analogue displays.

3. Clever placement of controls for the ventilated seats.

4. The large infotainment system also provides feed from the 360 degree camera

The Invicto is a handsome-looking vehicle. The large dimensions coupled with a crossover design theme give it an imposing visual. The front end is dominated by the large grille which prominent chrome embellishments. The large ‘S’ logo looks good as well on this vehicle. The bumper has also been redone to give the Invicto a different visual as compared to the Innova Hycross. In profile though very little has changed. The Invicto then is endowed with a very sporty SUVish design with flared wheel arches and prominent body lines. The large glass panels add to the large car feel of the Invicto. The only thing which looks a bit out of place are the 17in alloy wheels. Surely slightly bigger wheels would have made a big difference. At the back too there is little to differentiate the Toyota and the Maruti Suzuki. Sure the LED tail lamps are unique to the Invicto but the overall design remains unchanged and definitely handsome.
