The Invicto, Maruti Suzuki's largest MPV to date, has gotten a very dramatic response since its unveiling. On the one hand, there are some who are not really taken with the concept of a "rebadged Toyota Innova Hycross." Others, in a market segment Maruti Suzuki wasn't previously present in, are more than delighted to upgrade to a Maruti Suzuki. Due to the latter, the largest automaker in India is currently experiencing a 14-month wait time due to an order backlog of several thousand bookings. Of course, this is partially due to the fact that Toyota Kirloskar Motor only supplies a small number of vehicles to Maruti Suzuki.
If you must endure that kind of wait, make an informed decision by picking the version that best suits your requirements. The entry-level and top-tier MPV variants have a substantial price differential of about Rs 3.60 lakh. Here are the variations.

The lowest Zeta Plus trim of the two trims comes in seven- and eight-seater variations. The latter is INR 5,000 more expensive. Only a 7-seater with captain seats in the second row is offered in the pricier Alpha Plus specification. The front seats are ventilated, and the driver has power adjustments.
Initially not available on the base grade, a rear seatbelt warning system is now included, albeit at a cost (an additional Rs. 3,000). Zeta Plus has fabric upholstery, while Alpha Plus has leatherette seating.
Chrome door handles and plastic cladding are features of the top Alpha Plus trim. The door handles in the lower Zeta Plus are body colored rather than the chrome finish found on the Alpha Plus. Fortunately, both vehicles have identical-sized alloy wheels and tires. Roof railings are a need.
You will notice the biggest difference here. A panoramic sunroof and a larger 10-inch touchscreen—rather than an 8-inch in the Zeta Plus trim—are included in the Alpha Plus trim in addition to the aforementioned variations in the seats. Both devices include Android Auto, but the pricier version has wireless Apple CarPlay.
While the Alpha Plus comes standard with six airbags, it also adds front and rear parking sensors and 360-degree cameras for added convenience. A dimming feature for the interior rearview mirror is available. The Zeta Plus requires the driver to manually adjust it. In all honesty, the latter's functionality works better. Importantly, the Zeta Plus lacks these features while the Alpha Plus comes equipped with an anti-theft security system and ISOFIX child seat anchorages.
Please be aware that certain options, such as remote controls for the AC and power windows, are only available in the Alpha Plus trim if you choose the Zeta Plus trim.

While the Invicto Zeta Plus is likewise quite well-equipped, the Alpha Plus has the extra conveniences of a motorised tailgate, an on-board tire pressure monitor, and rear automatic climate control that is also easily controlled from the front dashboard. Additionally, depending on the amount of rain, the intermittent wiper function can be manually modified for different speeds. While automatic headlights are standard on both trims, automatic wipers are not.
One would reasonably anticipate the Invicto to be well equipped for this price range. The 15% price increase for the Alpha Plus sounds reasonable. The higher trim's performance and fuel efficiency are unaffected by the slight weight differential, despite it. The 8-seat model in the Zeta Plus trim offers more flexibility and seems more appealing.
