Service network is such an underrated factor in actual purchase of car in India. Because the chances of you getting issue in your car serious enough that you can't drive to nearest city for service center is very small, but when it does happen it compounds the headache you have that is a broken car. example: one of my uncle's owned XUV 500, our town is small and don't have Mahindra service center. Unfortunately when our uncle visited us, the alternator mount on side engine cover was broken. That made all components that ran on serpentine belt non working, i.e AC, and more importantly power steering, not to mention alternator. Nearest service center was 80 kms away, yes car could have been towed but the left engine cover was rare part and service center said is special order only product and would need atleast 15 days to arrive and they will do so only when we take car in service center. Now that would mean he would have to tow the car to unknown City, unknown service center and keep it there for 15 days before fix could even be done. Now no one could do that, nobody has this much free time nor does he trust his car to be kept in service center for that long of period 150 away from his home. We ended up travelling to nearest same city, to buy the part off non service center parts dealer and had to have it replaced in local mechanic. (Who did what he could, but he ended up causing other issues with brakes, and second AC compressor). This whole experience was very unpleasant for my Uncle. He never thought not having service center in your local place can cause such hassle. TLDR, please buy cars which has service centers in your local place. Don't even me started on experience of you are in accident and don't have local service center. That's even bigger nightmare. Not having service center nearby is okay when very thing is going good, but when things go south(and they always do) it's additional headache you wish you never had to deal with. This is where MS Invicto and Hyder makes so much more sense than it's own Toyata twin for smaller towns in India

[@motorinc]

Thanks for sharing! Sounds like it was a tough time.

[@garagewheelz]

Just because it's maruti don't expect spares to be available in all maruti service centres unless a model is so popular like say swift or Innova you can all the spares to be available across all 1000 + service outlets..

[@vardanrathi7777]

We went ahead and booked the zeta plus variant. It seemed perfect for our use case. We would get the car within 6 eeeks. We would get the same transmission, engine, chassis, and safety as that of the hycross. We're going to be chauffer driven, so ADAS isn't a miss for us. At 28.5 on road price. Our cars last us 10-12 years easily, i think we'll get decent value if we were to sell it. Minor things can be added over the course of the vehicle's life. To my eye, this is the same BMW 310RR vs. 😮TVS Apache RR310 debate. Badge vs. Practicality. I think we'll be perfectly fine running this for the next decade and a half. Great video, as always, Kartikaye. Hope you and your team are doing well and keeping healthy. Take care.

My understanding is that Invicto uses Torsion beam in the rear and Hycross uses Semi Independent Torsion beam. I think it its a big change in tackling pot holes and B roads.

Its such a pleasure to hear kartikeya talk about cars. Invicto which is essentially an innova hycross lite might be a lovely idea but the Indian market has a different perspective. Innova is loved because its Toyota and Toyota uses the LC reference that makes it a great brand for SUV/MPV in India. Suzuki is one of the most consistent brand but here in India it is overshadowed by the Maruti badge that is a synonym for best value, amazing resale, cheap maintenance and a sensible purchase. However it loses out on luxury, built to last and pride of ownership which is the essence of Innova. It might do all the things the toyota can but it cannot match its legacy. Its like an iphone that is branded as Samsung galaxy. Even if consumers know its made by Apple but they will not shell out the premium that they would for an iphone. So till the grand vitara (which uses a monicker that is respected) and baleno its fine. But branding the most loved and iconic vehicle of Toyota as a maruti suzuki wouldn’t make sense. Maybe if the price would be within ₹20L would’ve worked but as you said at that price it is a dealbreaker. Just an opinion as a branding guy ❤

Confused b/w Invicto and Xuv 700 with captain seats (used for both city and highway drives, self & chauffer driven as well).. We require seating for 4, although more space is welcome anyday. Earlier we were using innova crysta and xuv 500 (sold both due to diesel norms in NCR) My city Noida has service centre for both, so no issues there. (Innova Hycross is out of picture due to 2 yr waiting period). HEART SAYS XUV (better to drive and SUV looks) BUT MIND SAYS INVICTO (fuel efficient and spacious). Any suggestions?

[@motorinc]

Kartikeya recommends Invicto. Not as exciting, but so satisfying. The enthusiast driving pleasure angle is sacrificed - but instead the city driving experience is a different kind of high. 😆 please keep us posted. Would love to know more about your garage.

Can someone help me understand why exactly Toyota is limiting its production of Hycross and instead a portion of the resources at the factory (which I think is common between Toyota and Maruti) are being used to push out Invicto?

Its baffling to see 7 seater car market in india. Nothing to be proud off. From living in a time were the Chevrolet tavera, old school safari , Ford endeavour, tata hexa toyota qualis, all were perfect people movers except the body roll. But going from spacaious 3rd to kinda sorta 5+2 seater cars which has awful 3rd row and just up there for the specs and a chance for the manufacturers to prize a 20lakh at 30+ lakh (safari xuv 700 ). Whats even more baffling is that when the shift to suv is so quick in recent times and the need for it is increasing indian manufacturers ate completely ignorant to the needs and car like xuv 700 irritates me for the stupid 3rd row and dont get me started on safari withs impractical or lack of boot space with all the rows up. Tata and mahindrs were both keen on bringing their cars upward of 30lakh they forgot to provide some additional length to the car which could have helped them and the buyers too. here is a must have checklist for a 7 seater. if any manufacturer is reading thesr comments see this please. We need atleast 250+ litre boot space with all rows up. otherwise please keep the car with yourself. sliding second row. ventilated seats. blinds and ac and blower controls on all three, last row seats when reclained should be plush and should take up room like the fortuner and scorpio. Big red flag perfrct this then you can bring your useless adas and other driver hinderance system. i will happily take. 250+ boot with all three rows up then a sunroof which is always closed. pls dear indian manufactures. be obligated to care of your fellow brothers and sisters. i am sure if you do this they will return thr favour buying loads of your ptoduct. aint broke dont fix it is the worst thing one can do themselves. and cars like safari and xuv 700 are just not acceptable. and japanese sre just fooling us. help yourself by helping us dear indian manufacturers.

Say what you may, MS and Toyota badge engineering make a lot of sense. MS is/will definitely benefit more, in terms of better built, engineered, technologically advanced cars. It helps also push MS case as it moves up the value and perception ladder. Toyota is getting to utilized its manufacturing capacity fully and keeps adding margin on top of it's already fat profit/car. Currently, MS is a reseller of Toyota products, and reverse, Toyota is keeping MS products in the showroom to bring in the crowd and keep its sales staff occupied. I predict, in 10 years time, Suzuki will be a sub-brand of Toyota.

[@motorinc]

That last line. You have an inside line somewhere?

[@pawasdayal]

no inside line, but it just seems like an inevitable move. Usually this close a collaboration happens between companies of comparative size. Both in Indian context and globally, MS and Toyota are poles apart in size, tech, engine options, market segments.

Smoother than my 14 year old Honda city gear Shifts. (The engine is still better tho)

[@motorinc]

It is smooth!

The one but major thing that is going to deter people from buying Invicto is using Invicto as taxi.

[@Y_man0]

The money saved buying this vs the Toyota can be put into upgrades and the misses , thereby making it a better package than waiting for the innova

[@motorinc]

Totally.. what upgrades would you get though?

[@aravindh1989]

I really like the invicto but just looking at the sales numbers (just triple digits with MoM decline) compared to hycross (roughly 10k units sold per month), slightly concerned on the model's potential discontinuity. I am unable to fathom what's it that invicto is lacking. @motorinc

[@motorinc]

We think it's more about the Toyota brand value and the long standing trust they have gained with the Innova than it is about what the Invicto lacks @aravindh1989. Barring a few comfort features, they're really similar to each other. We can't comment on whether it'll be discontinued or not but we certainly hope that MSIL and the customers gives the Invicto a fair chance. It deserves it.

The built quality, resale value, etc matters.. Toyota is providing adas, 7 yrs warranty,,
