Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has achieved a new milestone with the Toyota Innova Hycross, as the popular-selling MPV crosses the 50,000 units sales mark since its launch in November 2022. The Innova Hycross retails between ₹19.77 lakh and ₹30.68 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), and has gained swift popularity for being a comprehensive upgrade over the Innova Crysta and arriving in a strong hybrid version, ditching the diesel altogether.
The success of the Innova Hycross has been attributed to its exceptional service and warranty, as well as the strong goodwill of the Innova nameplate in the market for its low total cost of ownership (TCO). The model gets a warranty of 3 years/100,000 km with the option to extend the same to 5 years/220,000 km, along with free roadside assistance and attractive finance schemes. In addition, the hybrid battery also gets a warranty of 8 years/160,000 km.
Commenting on the success, Sabari Manohar, VP – Sales and Marketing, Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, “We are thrilled that the Innova Hycross has achieved 50,000 units sales milestone within a short span of fourteen months from launch. We are extremely thankful for the response and confidence entrusted by our customers in this product. Innova HyCross was a success right from the day of its launch and the product has seen strong customer acceptance from our target audience.”
The Toyota Innova Hycross is based on the latest TNGA platform bringing a monocoque body to the MPV, instead of the traditional ladder-on-frame construction. It is more advanced and feature-loaded with segment-first paddle shifters, ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, an electrically operable tailgate, and LED DRLs. The second row gets electrically adjustable seats with a powered ottoman, bringing more comfort to the occupants.
The big update on the new-generation Innova Hycross is the absence of the diesel for a strong hybrid engine. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder motor is paired with an electric motor for a combined output of 183 bhp, optimizing performance and fuel efficiency. The Innova Hycross is capable of running 40 per cent of the distance and 60 per cent of the time with electric propulsion, ensuring high fuel efficiency.
Additionally, there is also a petrol-only version with a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine tuned for 172 bhp and paired with a CVT automatic unit. The petrol-only version claims a fuel efficiency of 16.13 kmpl (ARAI certified).
In conclusion, the Toyota Innova Hycross has seen significant success, achieving 50,000 units in sales within a short span of fourteen months from its launch. It has revolutionized the idea of comfort, convenience, performance, and safety within the MUV segment, and is expected to continue garnering affection from customers and redefining the mobility experience through its exceptional performance.
