Toyota Innova Hycross was spied again ahead of its debut in November 2022. Reports suggest that the Innova Hycross will go on sale alongside the Innova Crysta. The Innova Hycross is likely to pack a petrol hybrid powertrain. The new engine should be a fuel efficient alternative to the the Innova Crysta’s diesel engine.

Launched in 2016, the Innova Crysta is one of the best-selling offerings from Toyota in the country. Toyota are likely to offer the new generation of the MPV later this year. The Innova Hycross is expected to be unveiled in November 2022, while the launch could take place in early 2023.

While the current-gen Innova Crysta is based on a ladder-on-frame platform, sources say the new Innova Hycross will use a new monocoque construction. The new monocoque chassis is likely to reduce the weight while utilising a front-wheel-drive setup. Sources suggest that the Innova Hycross will use the TNGA-C platform that underpins the new-gen Toyota Corolla. Hence, with the Innova Hycross, we can expect Toyota to offer multiple seating configurations with better space management.

In terms of powertrain, the new Innova Hycross could use a petrol-hybrid powertrain. We do not expect the Innova Hycross to be offered with any diesel engines. While details about the hybrid powertrain of the Innova Hycross are scarce, it may offer more power and torque than the Urban Cruiser Hyryder and use a 2.0L hybrid powertrain. It is worth noting that Toyota have stopped accepting orders for the Innova Crysta owing to high demand. It will be interesting to see if Toyota are successful in shifting potential buyers of the Innova Crysta diesel to the advanced hybrid powertrain of the new Innova Hycross.
