An Indonesian auto journalist has published an insider report regarding the possible features of the Innova HyCross. On the other hand, Toyota has finally started teasing the HyCross. The above image is teased by the official Toyota page which has assured that the HyCross will be getting a panoramic sunroof. Now, we can finally say that the Japanese automaker has started giving major attention towards luxury and premium features in this car. There are chances that it could also get ADAS features with the ‘Toyota Safety Sense’ package. It includes driving assistance features like collision warning, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, radar-sensed auto high beam and more.

There are other features also which are likely to make a way in the Innova. With the addition of these features, the new generation Innova could break Toyota’s notion of offering inadequate features in their cars. Features like a powered tailgate, ambient lighting, 360-degree parking camera, captain seats with Ottoman feature and more would be seen on the new car. One thing to note is that this list is of the global-spec car. Among these how many features make their way here, only time could tell.

This new generation Innova is to be based on the TNGA-C platform. Talking more about the changes, it would be a monocoque chassis setup with Front Wheel Drive configuration. Moreover, this new Innova would only be available with a 2.0-litre petrol engine mated to a hybrid driving setup. Looking at the changes, it would be poles apart from the current car. The new car would have better driving dynamics and improved interior space due to the monocoque chassis and improved fuel efficiency with a hybrid setup.

Pricing

Toyota is said to sell two Innovas in conjunction. What does it mean? The old ‘Crysta’ could be sold alongside the new launch ‘HyCross’. It means that the brand wants to offer varied options for the buyers to increase its penetration in the MPV market. Considering the hybrid setup, the addition of new features and possibly ADAS, it’s tricky to guess its pricing. The taxation rates range at 43% for Hybrid vehicles in India so the tax rates would be less than the current selling Innova. We are expecting the prices to be somewhere between Rs 25 lakh to Rs 33 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
