Perhaps the most obvious difference here is the grille. Mind you, the shape is practically identical to the Zenix, but the Invicto has a unique pattern and features Suzuki’s two-bar signature on that panel. It also comes with a different set of LED daytime running lights on the headlights. Meanwhile, the bumper is similar to the Zenix but has a silver strip by the apron. As for the rear, the Invicto is almost indistinguishable from its Toyota counterpart, save for the Suzuki badge.

It’s not a total rebadge job, though. The Invicto is available with different wheel designs with the top-spec versions getting a set of two-tone alloys.

It’s practically the same story inside. The dashboard and instrument cluster are straight off the Zenix, so too are the seats and the door panels. However, higher trim levels of the Invicto feature rose gold trimmings on the dashboard. Fancy.

The Invicto comes with just one engine choice, and you might be surprised that it’s not the 2.0-liter mill. Instead, it comes standard with a hybrid, regardless of the variant. It’s essentially Toyota’s hybrid drive system so it has an Atkinson Cycle 2.0-liter hooked up to a single electric motor. Total system output is the same as the Zenix HEV, meaning 186hp and 188Nm of torque.
