Innova Hycross 2023

What is it ?

To say that the Innova is a popular family car is like claiming that Virat Kohli is in good form, or that Elon Musk is an eccentric billionaire. Everyone knows that. However, not everyone is aware that Toyota has been somewhat struggling with the Innova Crysta since they stopped producing the diesel model due to “high demand pattern” and “increased waiting period”.

That will change in 2023 though when the order books for the diesel model open again. More importantly, the diesel Innova Crysta will be joined by an all-new generation of the Innova and that’s what we have driven here. It’s called the Innova Hycross and it’s available as either a strong hybrid or a pure petrol powered model.

CarWale's Take on Toyota Innova Hycross

Good Things

Solid road presence - Outstanding SUV styling and stands out amongst other high-riders

Spacious - Longer wheelbase, efficient use of space due to monocoque construction

Its a hybrid - Calm, quiet, effortless mile-munching, does not feel underpowered at all

Lots of features - Gets the much-needed functions over the current Innova Crysta

Safety equipment - It also gets a slew of airbags and plenty of modern driving aids

Could be Better

Third-row access - Getting into the last row is tedious, especially in the top-end variants

Quality, fit/finish - For the price, the plastic in some places needs improvement

Boot lid - Slow and noisy opening/closing of the boot lid is a study in patience

Toyota Innova Hycross Verdict

The Toyota Innova Hycross is the car to buy if one is going to drive predominantly within the city.

Toyota Innova Hycross Review

What is it?

Front View

Right Side View

Whichever way you look at it, the Hycross is a giant leap forward for the Innova brand as we know it. It looks smashing, it’s a high tech self-charging hybrid and on top of all, it’s got features that we haven’t seen in any Toyota yet. Measuring 4.75m in length, 1.85m in width, 1.79m in height and with a wheelbase of 2.85m, the Innova Hycross makes for a fairly large MPV. However, that’s not the talking point here. The real highlight is the SUV-centric design which lends it the presence and poise of a big burly SUV and not a people mover.

Grille

I especially like how ‘in-your-face’ the front end is with its high bonnet and that massive bumper. You also get chrome finish on the 18-inch alloy wheels for extra pizazz. Sadly, Toyota has decided that the top-end ZX and ZX (O) versions should come with 50-section low profile tires which do not really fill up the wheel arches that well.

Is it nice to drive?

Left Front Three Quarter

The Innova Hycross is nice and easy to drive whether you are commuting in everyday traffic or out on a weekend trip. Its intimidating size, chunky doors and controls may seem like it would be a handful but the Hycross isn’t really. As it turns out, it’s pretty effortless to maneuver or park and that’s mainly down to the combination of light controls and the hybrid powertrain. So it’s got a 2.0-litre strong hybrid set-up where the petrol engine makes 172bhp/188Nm and is paired to an electric motor which is good for 11bhp/206Nm. The combined power is sent to the front wheels (yes, the Innova is now a front-wheel drive monocoque MPV) through an e-CVT.
