The Toyota Innova Hycross specifications turn on the choice between petrol and hybrid. Both use a 2.0 litre base, but the hybrid adds an electric motor. That choice shapes running cost the most.
The 2.0 litre petrol makes 172 bhp through a CVT gearbox. The strong hybrid lifts combined output to 184 bhp through an e-CVT. The hybrid feels smoother and quieter, especially in stop-start traffic. Neither needs plugging in, since the hybrid charges itself. Both send drive to the front wheels through smooth automatics.
Mileage is where the hybrid pulls ahead. The petrol returns 16.13 kmpl, while the strong hybrid reads 23.24 kmpl. That gap pays back the hybrid premium for high-mileage owners. Compare the Hycross mileage across both engines to see the saving. That mileage is rare for a seven seater this size.
The Hycross is 4755 mm long with a long 2850 mm wheelbase, so rear space is generous. The 300 litre boot holds luggage with all seats up. Seven or eight travel in comfort, with captain chairs on top trims. Sliding middle-row seats let you trade legroom for boot space. The long wheelbase gives limousine-like knee room in the middle row. The 52 litre tank stretches far on the hybrid.
Safety and feature kit runs to multiple airbags, stability control and a big touchscreen. Higher trims add a panoramic roof, ventilated seats and a large screen. Six airbags feature across the range for peace of mind. A digital driver display features higher up. Match each Hycross trim to its engine to finish choosing.
