Toyota Innova Hycross GX(O) Variant Launched in India at Rs 20.99 Lakh

Toyota has launched a new variant of the Innova Hycross in India. Called the GX (O), it comes in seven- and eight-seat configurations. Price-wise, the former is available at Rs 21.13 lakh, whereas the latter carries a sticker price of Rs 20.99 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom). In comparison to the GX variant, the new GX (O) offers a slew of additional features, such as a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment panel, wireless Apple CarPlay, front LED fog lamps, automatic climate control with an auto blower, and a rear defogger. The interior features a chestnut theme, soft-touch materials on the dashboard and door panels, and a rear sunshade. 

Notably, the eight-seat version of the Innova Hycross GX (O) lacks the 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and a rear sunshade, and, therefore, is priced lower than the seven-seater model. On the safety front, the Toyota Innova Hycross GX (O) comes with an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, front and rear parking sensors, six airbags, a 360-degree camera, all-wheel disc brakes, and ISOFIX child seat anchors. 

Toyota Innova Hycross GX(O): Colour Options

The new, non-hybrid variant of the Innova Hycross can be had in seven exterior colour options – Blackish Ageha Glass Flake, Platinum White Pearl, Attitude Black Mica, Sparkling Black Pearl Crystal Shine, Silver Metallic, Super White, and Avant Garde Bronze Metallic.

Toyota Innova Hycross GX(O): Powertrain

Powering the Toyota Innova Hycross GX(O) is a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol engine. The engine is mated to a CVT transmission and churns out 172bhp and 205Nm of peak torque. According to Toyota, the GX (O) has a fuel efficiency of 16.13km/l.

Toyota Innova Hycross GX(O): Positioning

With the introduction of the new GX(O), the Innova Hycross now comes in a total of 8 trims and 12 variants. In the lineup, it slots between the petrol-only GX grade and the powerful hybrid VX trim levels.

Toyota Innova Hycross: Price, Rivals 

Launched in November 2022, the Toyota Innova Hycross ranges from Rs 18.92 lakh to Rs 30.98 lakh (ex-showroom, India). In February 2024, the MPV surpassed the 50,000-unit sales mark in the country in about 15 months after its launch. Built on the latest Toyota Global Architecture (TNGA), the Hycross uses a monocoque chassis rather than a body-on-frame structure. 

With two powertrain options and seven- and eight-seat configurations, the MPV offers a premium alternative to popular models like the Kia Carens and the Toyota Innova Crysta.
