Toyota reopens booking for top hybrid variant of Innova HyCross, with a price increase
Toyota Motor has resumed bookings for the top-end variant of the Innova HyCross MPV with strong hybrid powertrain. The ZX and ZX(O) variants, which were discontinued last year, are now available for booking at a new price of ₹30.98 lakh (ex-showroom). The price hike affects all other variants as well, with an increase of about one percent from this month.
Last April, Toyota had to stop accepting bookings for the ZX and ZX(O) variants of the Innova HyCross due to high demand and supply-related issues. The waiting period for these variants had stretched to nearly two years before bookings were halted.
The Innova HyCross ZX and ZX(O) variants are powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine paired with a 1.7 kWh Ni-MH battery and Toyota’s e-Drive transmission unit. These variants can generate 184 bhp of power and 206 Nm of peak torque, offering fuel efficiency of up to 23.24 kmpl.
The top-end variants come equipped with features such as a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, Ottoman seats for the second row, a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and more. They are available in a seven-seat configuration and offer a luxurious driving experience.
Toyota has also revised the prices of other variants of the Innova HyCross MPV. The hybrid variants now start from ₹25.97 lakh (ex-showroom) for the entry-level VX variant, while the petrol-only variants start from ₹18.92 lakh (ex-showroom) for the G variant. The top-end petrol GX variant will cost ₹19.82 lakh (ex-showroom). Additionally, two new entry-level petrol-only variants are expected to be launched, aiming to lower the starting price of the vehicle.
Overall, Toyota’s decision to reintroduce the ZX and ZX(O) variants of the Innova HyCross MPV and adjust prices across the range reflects the company’s commitment to meeting customer demand and offering a diverse range of options for potential buyers.
