Maruti Suzuki's Hybrid MPV Christened Invicto, Design Leaks In New Spy Image - Check Pics

Next from the Maruti Suzuki’s stable is confirmed to be a large three-row MPV. Unless you were away from civilization, you would know that the country’s largest carmaker will sell the Toyota Innova Hycross in slightly restyled fashion. The brand has already rolled out a teaser and has confirmed the launch date as well. It was earlier speculated to be called Engage, but the new MPV will be called Maruti Suzuki Invicto. Its production has also started, as the car was recently spotted at the brand’s facility without any camo, whatsoever. The images come courtesy of MotorBeam. The Innova Hycross will be launched on July 5 in the Indian market.

Maruti Suzuki Invicto - Design

In the pictures, the Invicto can be seen donning a Grand Vitara-inspired front fascia. The hexagonal grille is divided in two with a chrome band that extends across the width to merge into the slim headlamps. Moreover, the bumper tweaked out to give the Invicto a distinctive appeal. However, the over outline gives away the hint that the Invicto is derived from the Innova Hycross. Around the rear, the Hycross will don new tail lamps. Sadly, alloy wheel design will remain the same.

Maruti Suzuki Invicto - Cabin

On the inside, there won’t be much to differentiate the Maruti Suzuki Invicto in comparison to the Toyota Innova Hycross. After all, we have seen both the Hyryder and Grand Vitara up close. Changes will include different interior themes, along with ambient lighting. Also, Maruti Suzuki could rejig the variant line-up in terms of seating configurations. As of now, the Hycross is available in both 7-seater and 8-seater configurations.
