Toyota Zenix-Based Suzuki Invicto Launches in India

MANILA: The Invicto is Suzuki's own Toyota Zenix adaptation for  India. While both cars use a hybrid drivetrain, the Suzuki Invicto was anticipated to have a few distinctive design features to set it apart from the Toyota. It is also referred to as the Innova Zenix and Innova Hycross in other areas of the world.

With its strong, tough, and upright stance enhanced by dynamic character lines, the 2023 Suzuki Invicto emanates the robust charm of a contemporary SUV. Its impressive front fascia, which has a distinctive front grille and a sweeping cross bar that smoothly joins the twin LED headlamps and LED DRLs, further enhances the vehicle's commanding appearance.

LED tail lamps at the back of the automobile create a strong design statement about the automaker. The squared wheel arches holding the 17-inch precision cut alloy wheels add to the vehicle's strong road presence and SUV-inspired attitude.

The Suzuki Invicto, which comes in seven- and eight-seater options, is designed to provide premium interior room and comfort, similar to an MPV. The interiors' chic all-black design and opulent Champagne Gold accents boost elegance while providing a modern aesthetic.

There are numerous storage compartments, including bottle holders in each row, retractable cooled cup holders on the dashboard, illuminated cup holders, illuminated storage compartments, folding side tables in second row captain seats, multiple charging ports along with accessory sockets, personal reading lamps, and more. The cabin is versatile and the seating is flexible.

The vehicle includes the ground-breaking "Intelligent Electric Hybrid" system with a two-liter engine paired with an e-CVT transmission in keeping with Suzuki's global objective of reducing carbon footprints and to also fulfill the needs of evolving Indian customers.

With a clever Dual Powertrain System combining an electric motor with a gasoline engine, this ground-breaking self-charging Strong Hybrid system is technologically advanced. The self-charging intelligent electric hybrid system's immediate torque provides improved responsiveness and acceleration while achieving an excellent 23.24 kpl in fuel efficiency.

The Strong Hybrid system's eco-friendly and dependable features include multiple drive modes (EV, Normal, Eco, and Power), which enable a seamless switch between the engine, hybrid, and electric drive modes.

Depending on the driving conditions, the configuration can also harness the combined power of the two sources. Additionally, the hybrid technology constantly analyzes road conditions in order to effectively coordinate with both power sources as and when necessary for a thrilling yet environmentally friendly journey.

As part of the automaker's Safety Shield, the Invicto places a high priority on customer safety by integrating a wide array of active and passive safety measures. This included six airbags as standard (Front, Side, and Curtain, Suzuki Connect with Advanced Features and e-Call Functionality, and Vehicle Stability Control with Hill Hold Assist), along with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System and a 360-view camera with dynamic guidelines to ensure driver confidence when navigating confined spaces.
