Toyota Innova HyCross facelift: Here’s what the teaser suggests
The teaser image confirms a new DRL design for the Innova HyCross. The U-shaped DRLs draw inspiration from the Taisor SUV. They will be integrated into the headlamps. The image does not reveal the design of the LED headlamps. The test mules spotted so far suggest a new grille design with a glossy trim running along the top. This trim will house the Toyota logo. The front and rear bumpers will get a few tweaks. Toyota may also refresh the design of the alloy wheels. At the back, the tail lamps and tailgate will get some cosmetic updates.
The teaser image does not reveal the interior setup of the upcoming Innova HyCross. The test mules of the facelift model hint towards a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It will support wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The digital driver’s display will also be upgraded to a 12.3-inch unit. We also expect features like automatic climate control, ambient lighting, cruise control, rear entertainment screens, wireless charging, and more on the new model. Toyota may also introduce new interior colour themes.
The Innova HyCross is currently one of the safest MPVs on the market. It received a 5-star safety rating from the Bharat NCAP last year. Given that it is already stacked with safety features, we don’t expect a lot of upgrades on this front. The HyCross will continue with features like 6 airbags, 3-point seatbelts and reminders for all passengers, ISOFIX anchorages, Pedestrian Protection System (PPS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and more. Its ADAS suite comprises functions like Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Alert (LDA), Automatic High Beam (AHB), and Road Sign Assist (RSB).
The big change will come under the hood in the form of a new flex-fuel strong-hybrid powertrain. The HyCross will become the first car in India to be powered by a flex-fuel engine. Toyota has not revealed the output specifications of this engine yet. It will be based on the 2-litre petrol engine that powers the current model. Its flex-fuel version will be able to run on E85 fuel.Â
The standard engine will be retained on the facelift as well. This engine generates a maximum power output of 174hp and 205Nm of torque. When it is linked to a strong hybrid setup, it churns out 184hp. It is mated to a CVT gearbox. The MPV offers a fuel economy of 16.13km/l.

Final Thoughts
Prices for the current Toyota Innova HyCross range start at Rs 19.53 lakh and go up to Rs 31.84 lakh. The facelift will demand a small premium over these prices. It remains to be seen whether Toyota will add new base variants to the MPV’s lineup, since the Innova Crysta is set to be discontinued soon. Upon launch, the HyCross facelift will continue to rival the Maruti Suzuki Invicto, Kia Carnival, and Mahindra XUV 7XO in India.
