Maruti Suzuki – Toyota cars

In addition, the Invicto marks a significant milestone as the first Maruti Suzuki product derived from a Toyota vehicle. Previously, Toyota had introduced products based on Maruti Suzuki offerings, such as the Glanza, Urban Cruiser, and Urban Cruiser Hyryder. As the Invicto is based on a Toyota product, it is anticipated to carry a premium price compared to the Innova Hycross. The top-spec Alpha Plus variant is expected to be priced between Rs 30.5-31.5 lakh. For reference, the current price of the Innova Hycross ZX(O) is Rs 29.99 lakh.
