The 7-seater version of the Innova Hycross features two captain’s chairs in the middle row, equipped with a segment-first ottoman function. The 8-seater model, on the other hand, offers bench seats for both the second and third rows, with three-point seat belts provided for all passengers.
Built on a monocoque chassis and Toyota’s TNGA-C platform, the Toyota Innova Hycross is available with petrol and strong hybrid powertrain options. The non-hybrid variant is powered by a 2.0L, 4-cylinder petrol engine mated to a CVT gearbox, delivering 172bhp and 205Nm of torque. The strong hybrid version, on the other hand, features a 2.0L petrol engine utilizing Toyota’s Atkinson cycle, producing a combined power output of 184bhp, paired with an e-Drive transmission.
Both engine options are exclusively available with a front-wheel drive (FWD) system only. Toyota claims impressive fuel efficiency figures, with the hybrid version achieving 23.24kmpl and the naturally aspirated petrol version offering 16.13kmpl.
