Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest carmaker, is all set to venture into the premium segment with the introduction of the Invicto MPV. The all-new Maruti Suzuki Invicto will be launched in India on July 5, 2023. While the Invicto will be a re-badged version of the Toyota Innova Hycross, both the MPVs are likely to have some notable differences as well. Here’s how the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Invicto will fare against the Toyota Innova Hycross.
