Toyota Innova Hycross Review

Toyota Innova Hycross Postives

  1. A great-looking MPV. SUV’ish styling packs appeal from mass market. Danger for XUV 700, Safari & Hector.
  2. Interiors feels upmarket, good comfort in all 3 rows and usable boot (even with 3rd row up).
  3. Loaded to the gills with features such as a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, electrically adjustable rear ottoman seats, multi-zone climate control, connected car features, leather upholstery, drive modes, etc.
  4. Hybrid power train makes it lighter on the pocket than a diesel and future-proof too. Very good fuel efficiency (expect city FE of 15-17 km/l) depends on driving pattern.
  5. Impressive performance with a sub-10 second 0-100 km/h time.
  6. Monocoque construction results in sorted handling and comfortable ride quality than previous generation Innova Crysta.
  7. Brilliant NVH levels result in a quiet and serene experience inside the cabin due to petrol & hybrid technology.
  8. Toyota’s bullet-proof reliability, excellent after-sales service and fuss-free ownership experiences stands out.
  9. Safety features such as 6 airbags, Toyota Safety Sense (ADAS), ABS, ESP, TC, all-wheel disc brakes, hill hold, TPMS, Isofix & 3-point seatbelts for all.
  10. Very light steering due to Electric system.

Toyota Innova Hycross Negatives

  1. More expensive than Innova Crysta which is going to be sold alongside Innova Hycross.
  2. Top-end variants are only available with captain seats in the middle row. No bench option is provided so if you are looking for bench seat you have to settled with G & V variants.
  3. 18″ wheels with 50 profile tyres compromise the overall stance; they look very small and offers potholes noise inside cabin.
  4. Monocoque construction won’t be as rugged & abuse-friendly as the Crysta’s body-on-frame build quality.
  5. Rear seat ottomans are useless for taller passengers who have a height of above 5.10 and lesser space for foots because of battery below the front seats.
  6. Average sound quality from the JBL system, poor camera resolution and a basic infotainment system display as compared to other competitors.
  7. Missing features such as rain-sensing wipers, lumbar adjustment, boss lever on the front passenger seat ala carnival style.
  8. The already-good ride quality could be even better with higher profile tyres, recommended 65 side profile.
  9. Sideprofile stills looks like MPV from certain angles.
  10. XUV 700, Tata Safari, MG Hector offers much more features & Value.
