The new Toyota Innova Hycross is ready to make its world debut on 21st November, followed by its India unveiling on 25th November 2022. Prior to this, select Toyota dealers have started accepting pre-bookings for the MPV’s new model at a token sum of Rs 50,000. Official bookings, however, are slated to commence on 25th November. The carmaker has already confirmed that its prices will be announced at the next year’s Delhi Auto Expo in January.
Toyota Kirloskar Motor has released a couple of teasers revealing key features of the upcoming new Innova Hycross. Unlike the current generation, the new one will have more SUV-ish stance and sit on the monocoque platform replacing the ladder frame chassis. The TNGA modular architecture is more advanced, lightweight and more efficient than the ladder frame chassis.
The front fascia carries a large trapezoidal grille with contrast black finish and chrome surrounds, wraparound headlamps with dual layers LED projector units, horizontal LED DRLs and newly-designed bumper with faux aluminium elements on each corner. Moving towards the side, the three-row MPV features a new set of alloy wheels. There are two distinctive side creases stretching across the length of the doors and merging with the wraparound taillamps.

The 2023 Toyota Innova Hycross will be the brand’s first model to offer a dual-pane panoramic sunroof and Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). It will get Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) that offers adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency brakes, lane departure warning, pre-collision with pedestrian detection, road sign assist and dynamic radar cruise control.
Powertrain system of the new Innova Hycross will consist of a 2.0L naturally aspirated petrol and a 2.0L petrol with strong hybrid tech unit. The power and torque figures of both motors are still under the wraps. For the very first time, the Innova will be offered with FWD (front-wheel drive) system instead of the RWD (rear-wheel drive) setup.
