Reliable 7-Seater Cheaper By Rs 2.5 Lakh

The name “Innova” draws a great picture in your head – bulletproof engine, comfortable cabin and the capability of running till eternity. Well, the new Innova Hycross has lived up to the mark and has been quite an impressive product. But what if you are offered the same car, with a few missing features and a Maruti badge, with a massive discount? We think this is a pretty good deal, and here’s why!

Maruti Invicto Discount!

The Innova’s Maruti alternative, the Invicto, has just received a massive discount of up to Rs 2.5 Lakh. This discount includes a 1 Lakh cash discount and a Rs 1.5 Lakh scrappage or exchange bonus. So, with this discount, we believe that the Invicto could be a great alternative to the Innova Hycross. But why? Well, the Invicto is essentially a rebadged Toyota Innova Hycross, with a few differences. It does lack a few features like ADAS, Ottoman seats, a JBL sound system, rear sunshades and a few more. Also, the Invicto is only available with the strong-hybrid engine. These features aside, the Invicto and the Innova share the same platform, components and hybrid tech. In fact, the Invicto, on the inside, is quite a premium 7-seater. The MPV gets features like

• Powered driver seat
• Ventilated front seats
• 10.1-inch touchscreen
• Panoramic sunroof
• 7-inch digital instrument cluster
• Cruise control
• Powered tailgate
• Multi-zone climate control
• Ambient lighting

Under the hood is a 2.0-litre petrol hybrid engine producing 186bhp and 206Nm of torque along with an e-CVT gearbox. Like every other Maruti, the Invicto also delivers decent mileage, thanks to the strong hybrid setup.

Verdict

So, the Invicto gets almost everything from the Innova – the engine, platform, features and tech. With a price ranging from Rs 29.47 Lakh to Rs 33.72 Lakh (on-road, Mumbai) and a massive Rs 2.5 Lakh discount, the Invicto could just be a good value for money deal. The Innova Hycross has its own stature and significance. But for those looking for the same quality, reliability and performance at a lower cost, the Invicto would be the way to go.
