Maruti Suzuki Invicto. News Car Launched in 2023
Last updated 1 year ago

The Maruti Suzuki Invicto launched with a bang. The manufacturer surprised everyone when it took the covers off its latest project to show what was Maruti Suzuki’s first entry into the luxury segment in a long time. However, to the surprise of fans and critics alike, the Invicto wasn’t a brand new car, but essentially, just the Toyota Innova Hycross. No one can blame the company though, as in order to get into the luxury segment, making the use of the tie up they had with Toyota seemed the best thing. 

But the real question is whether or not the Invicto is worth the premium over the XL6. The Maruti XL6 was positioned as a slightly more premium three-row MUV based on the Ertiga. With the Invicto, Maruti pushes further into the premium three-row MUV space with a larger price difference. In this blog, we explore which car between the Maruti Suzuki Invicto and the Maruti Suzuki XL6 is better value for money with respect to features, practicality, and other aspects.

While looking at both the cars, it is quite obvious that the Invicto would be the larger and bigger car. The Invicto is longer, wider, and taller than the XL6 and it easily translates to extra comfort and space. The XL6 is a spacious car, without any doubt, but comparing it to the Invicto is unfair. The overall cabin space in the XL6 is great, in fact the best in its segment. The seats are comfortable and there is enough space for three passengers to sit comfortably, the cabin also feels airy and roomy compared to its competition. The Invicto, on the other hand, takes advantage of the extra width and length. The cabin is roomy and airy, and feels as if you could live in the car for a good amount of time in the worst case scenario.

The Maruti Suzuki Invicto houses the same reliable petrol hybrid engine from the house of Toyota. This means exceptional performance, an amazing mileage figure, and a long life. The XL6 shares the same engine from the Ertiga, which is the K15B engine. While it is not a petrol hybrid nor does it have any fancy futuristic technology, it still provides the car with a good amount of power, is quite reliable, and also gives decent mileage. The Maruti Suzuki Invicto has quite an advantage when it comes to engine size, as it is more than 500 cc larger than the XL6, which also explains the 50 PS power and 51 Nm torque advantage it has. The power and torque advantage means that the rides are much more exciting and you could traverse much more unforgiving terrain than the Ertiga. The XL6 features a CNG variant however, which could make the case for most of the buyers as CNG is more economical and is great for people who are looking to save on fuel and running costs.

BaseRs 11.56 Lakh
MidRs 12.56 Lakh
Upper midRs 24.79 LakhRs 14.66 lakh
TopRs 28.42 LakhRs 14.82 Lakh

The Maruti Suzuki XL6 has quite a lot of variants offering something at every price point and fuel options, the XL6 has petrol and CNG options while the Invicto offers only petrol. The Invicto also has just two variants to offer, both being more than twice the price of the XL6’s base variant.  The difference between the base and top trims of the XL6 and Invicto are similar at about 3-4 lakhs. But the XL6 is definitely a more budget friendly option, especially if you want a manual transmission, because when it comes to transmission options, the Invicto has an automatic only.

Summary

The comparison between the Maruti Suzuki XL6 and the Maruti Suzuki Invicto is quite an interesting one. Both the cars have the same features, the only difference between them being their exterior, the hybrid engine, price, and some feature additions in the Invicto. If you feel that the hybrid technology will help you save a lot on your frequent trips, and you see yourself using the interior technology often then the Invicto is the way to go. However, if you don’t interact with the car, and just need to commute from point A to B, under a budget, then then the XL6 is also a great option to move forward with. In fact, the comparatively smaller dimensions of the XL6 are advantageous in city traffic or general city travel. The XL6 is a great option and a middle ground for people who are confused between the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and the Maruti Suzuki Invicto. The choice would boil down to the choices and the purpose of your car.
