Will Maruti’s premium pricing strategy for Invicto find an audience for a brand that has been known for budget cars?
31 December 2024 08:56
It’s about value proposition. The Invicto may find its niche if it can provide features, as well as quality similar to that of the more expensive rivals and take advantage of Maruti's strengths such as low maintenance costs and widespread service network.
Is the Invicto's non presence of ADAS features sufficient to make it an underdog in the premium MPV segment?
31 December 2024 08:56
It's definitely a miss. At this price, the absence of ADAS features is a bit of a downer, and they are quickly becoming standard features at this price point. A family MPV should be a safe place.

I honestly don't think it's a deal breaker. ADAS is a nice to have feature, but how much use is it in Indian traffic conditions? I’d rather have a reliable, comfortable car with good basic safety features.

Maybe Maruti could have missed an opportunity here. ADAS could have been a good argument to pay a premium price. It’s not just about functionality, it’s also about perception of being a high tech, modern vehicle.

Let’s be real, most Indian buyers at this price point care a lot more about comfort features than ADAS. I don’t think not having ADAS will hurt sales much as long as it has the basics like airbags and ABS.

For me, it’s a strategic decision. But by skipping ADAS, Maruti can keep the price competitive. If the market wants it, they can always add it in a future update. Smart move, in my opinion.
Let's compare the quality of the Invicto's interior, and its features against those of the established premium MPV segment i.e. the Kia Carnival.
31 December 2024 08:56
I've sat in both and I'd say the interior on the Invicto is decent, but not quite up to Carnival's level. It feels good with the materials, but there’s still a whiff of 'mass market' in some places. There's just something about the Carnival that's just a touch more premium than the Razer Series.

Actually I like the Invicto's interior layout better. And it's more modern, with the panoramic sunroof making it feel airier. Yes, it may not have the bells and whistles of the Carnival, but for everyday use it is more than enough.

We can’t forget that the Invicto is a lot cheaper than the Carnival. I think Maruti has done a good job for the price difference. Although it isn't as plush, it's good value.

As with a Carnival, the Invito’s infotainment system is a little basic. At least in a premium MPV, I expect a more high tech and responsive system. In this department, Maruti needs to step up.

For someone used to Maruti interiors, the Invicto is a big leap. Maruti has come a long way and it might not beat the Carnival, but it’s impressive. In a few more years, I'll bet they'll be right up there with the best.
Does the Ignis's styling help or hurt its appeal?
31 December 2024 08:09
The styling of the Ignis is the Ignis's biggest selling point! It's different in a sea of boring hatchbacks, and it also gives you that mini-SUV vibe without the price.

I feel that the design is too polarizing. Young buyers might like it, but it pushes away a great number of people who prefer more traditional looks.

The styling grows on you. I didn't like it at first but I love how it stands out from everything else on the road.
Does the Ignis's styling help or hurt its appeal?
31 December 2024 08:09
It's a double-edged sword. It’s a quirky design, and that gets attention, but it also has a lot of people turning around and saying ‘well, that’s a weird looking car,’ without really paying attention to what it actually is.
Does the Ignis's styling help or hurt its appeal?
31 December 2024 08:09
What makes the Ignis special is the styling. But it’s not trying to please everyone, and that’s refreshing in a market full of play-it-safe designs.
Does the Ignis's styling help or hurt its appeal?
31 December 2024 08:09
The design is already starting to look dated, I think. If you remember a few years back, quirky and fresh, it now just seems a bit odd.

On the highway it hurts, but in the city it helps. It’s cool parked on a street, but it feels out of place on long drives.
Is the Ignis’s high seating position a gimmick, or a genuinely useful characteristic?
31 December 2024 08:09
The high seating is great! A much better view of the road ahead is super helpful in city traffic.

I think it's mostly a gimmick, and I don't think it's a gimmick I'd like to have. It’s not like you’re sitting in an actual SUV, but you do sit a little higher. It just makes the car feel even taller and less stable.
