The new Innova Hycross has launched in India and is powered by Toyota's 2.0-litre naturally aspirated Dynamic Force petrol engine with a strong Hybrid System. The same engines are found in a wide variety of Toyota and Lexus models sold worldwide.

Toyota Kirloskar Motor has finally launched the new Innova Hycross in the Indian market, equipped with a powerful hybrid drivetrain.

Toyota Innova Hycross MPV has finally launched in India, only a few days after making its global debut. Prices for Toyota Innova Hycross will be announced during the Auto Expo 2023. The Innova brand has always been a popular choice with Indian buyers, and the latest generation the new Toyota Innova Hycross, now includes a powerful hybrid system for the first time. The Toyota Hybrid System, or THS, is already used in Toyota vehicles such as the Urban Cruiser Hyryder. 

New Toyota Innova Hycross: Design
First off, the new Innova Hycross has dimensions of 4,755 mm in length, 1,850 mm in width, and 1,795 mm in height. The wheelbase is now 2,850 mm long. As a result, the new Innova is longer, broader, and has a larger wheelbase than its predecessor. The design is sleeker than ever, taking cues from a variety of sport utility vehicles. On the front of the new Toyota Innova Hycross, you'll find a huge hexagonal radiator grille and narrow LED headlights. There is a more muscular feel to the glass section, while the black cladding spans the length of the building on the sides. Slim taillights and a two-tone bumper provide for an attractive back end.

New Toyota Innova Hycross: Interior
The new Innova Hycross has a completely redesigned dashboard. The Hycross's interior is more sophisticated and high-end than the Innova Crysta's. The instrument is a 10 inch, fully digital, standalone infotainment touchscreen. The inside offers a classy vibe thanks to the black and brown colour scheme. In addition, depending on the model, the MPV may accommodate seven or eight passengers. On the downside, the lowest trim levels lose an inch from the infotainment screen and replace it with a 4.2-inch MID and an analogue gauge cluster.
