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
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.

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.
The Fronx's 1.0L turbo engine is premium, but is it worth paying a premium over the standard 1.2L?
31 December 2024 07:55
Absolutely worth it! The Fronx feels like a totally different car by virtue of its turbo engine. But it's much more fun to drive and it feels more premium.

31 December 2024 07:55
Not really. For city driving the standard 1.2L is more than enough and you get better fuel efficiency. Most people don’t need the turbo in the first place.

I love the turbo, but I can see why some wouldn't want to pay extra. It all depends on how you drive and where you drive the car the most.

The turbo is great but think long term costs. With turbo engines, you’ll probably have to spend more on repair in the long run, and in most cases they require more maintenance.

I test drove both and the price difference was honestly hard to justify. The 1.2L had enough zip for my purposes, and the money saved can be spent on nicer features.

If most of your driving is on the highway, or you live in a hilly area, go turbo. In those situations, the extra torque makes a big difference.

And since I switched from naturally aspirated to Fronx turbo, I can tell you, it’s a game changer. It’s another level of responsiveness and overtaking ability.

I believe the turbo is more of a bragging rights thing than a necessity. The standard engine makes more sense for most Fronx buyers who aren’t looking for a performance car.
Is it worth the jump from a Myvi to a Vios, or save up for the jump to a Corolla instead?
31 December 2024 07:24
If you’re okay with the size of the Myvi, then there isn’t really much point in jumping to a Vios. Instead, save up for the Corolla — it’s a much bigger step in comfort, features, and driving experience.

31 December 2024 07:24
I upgraded from a Myvi to a Vios, and I’m satisfied. It’s a marked improvement in refinement and comfort without costing the earth. The Corolla is nice, but it’s a big financial leap that not everyone will need to take.
Is it worth the jump from a Myvi to a Vios, or save up for the jump to a Corolla instead?
31 December 2024 07:24
It depends on your needs. If you spend most of your time on the highway, the Vios is quite an upgrade from the Myvi. If you’re mostly in the city, it’s not that big difference. If not, then stick with the Myvi or go all out for the Corolla.
Is it worth the jump from a Myvi to a Vios, or save up for the jump to a Corolla instead?
31 December 2024 07:24
I'd say go for the Vios. It’s a nice middle ground, as it gets you a taste of a more premium car without the luxury car price of a Corolla. If you ever need, you can always upgrade to a Corolla.

31 December 2024 07:24
I made the Myvi to Vios jump myself, and I kind of regret not waiting and saving up for the Corolla. Sure, the Vios is better, but not that much better that it feels like a true upgrade. It would have been a more satisfying long term choice.

Then why not consider other options in the Vios price range? Similar upgrades from the Myvi can be had in cars like the Honda City or Nissan Almera, but with some advantages over the Vios. Don't restrict yourself to Toyota.
