Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) today unveiled the Innova HyCross. HyCross is a new addition to the Innova nameplate. Based on Toyota’s New Global Architecture(TNGA), the latest Innova represents Toyota’s Quality, Durability, and Reliability.
The new Innova HyCross uses the 5th Generation Self-Charging Strong Hybrid Electric System. It gets a TNGA 2.0 Litre 4-cylinder gasoline engine. Interestingly enough, HyCross gets a monocoque frame with an e-drive sequential shift. The max power output reads as 137 kW (186 PS). Toyota claims rapid acceleration and best-in-segment fuel economy with the Innova HyCross. The vehicle also comes with the option of a TNGA 2.0 Litre 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a direct shift CVT. This is available with select trims only. This powertrain option delivers an output of 128 kW (174 PS).
Toyota is selling the SUV in two powertrain options, namely, Hybrid Electric and Gasoline. Each of the two trims has four trim options, thus making it a total of 8 trims. For Hybrid Electric, we have ZX, ZX (O), VX 8S, and VX 7S. And for the Gasoline, we have GX 8S, GX 7S, G 7S, and G 8S. As of now, we do not have the prices. So, how will these variants stack up against each other?
But, give the segment and rivals against which it will compete. The Innova HyCross will most likely fall in the INR 22 to INR 28 lakh bracket. The chief competitors for this three-row Toyota are XUV700, Tata Safari, and more. Interestingly, Toyota will continue to sell the Innova Crysta alongside the Innova HyCross.
The new Innova HyCross will come with the Toyota experience. This offers a warranty of 3 years/100,000 kilometers, 3 years free roadside assistance, attractive financial schemes and 8 yrs/160,000 kilometers warranty on the Hybrid battery. Customers can opt for the extended warranty of up to 5 years/220,000 kilometers.
Toyota has confirmed that the bookings are to begin today for INR 50,000. Customers can make their bookings online via Toyota India’s official website. Furthermore, they can also do so by visiting their nearest Toyota dealership.
