Maruti Suzuki’s flagship hybrid UV, the Invicto, has just scored a full 5-star rating in the Bharat NCAP crash tests. That makes it the latest model in the brand’s line-up to join the safer-cars-for-India club, alongside the new Dzire and the Victoris.
Highlights
The Invicto is a premium, three-row strong-hybrid UV sold under the Nexa umbrella, and its safety kit is fairly comprehensive. Six airbags are standard, while ESP with hill hold assist, all-wheel disc brakes, and a 360-degree camera make it clear this one’s built to be family-friendly without compromising safety.

Maruti Suzuki now claims to offer six airbags as standard across 15 models and 157 variants, from the humble Alto K10 to the Jimny and Grand Vitara. The Invicto’s score is part of this wider push to make safety a headline feature, not an optional extra.
Summary
The Invicto’s 5-star badge is more than just bragging rights. It signals Maruti’s intent to bring safety credentials in line with international standards while keeping its premium hybrid UV appealing to Indian families. After all, comfort and tech are great, but knowing your car can take a hit — that’s proper peace of mind.
