Looks like they are planning to target segment above current Crysta and some variants of Hycross may overlap with top end AT.

If the resulting mileage is better than diesel vehicles, it'll make hell lot of sense- especially because a hybrid wouldn't fact the wrath of the NGT very soon. Plus, the reliability of a Toyota is highly appreciated by the taxi fleet.

The real question is how much time it'll take to break even with a lower cost diesel Crysta.

It won't be long before taxi drivers prefer an automatic especially with our maddening traffic and negligible difference in fuel efficiency.

Toyota Innova Crysta will be sold alongside the Innova Hycross.

Innova Crysta and Fortuner will continue with diesel engines in India; Innova Hycross will be petrol only.

In a shift from its usual practice, Toyota will continue to offer the diesel option in both Innova and Fortuner and the company will try to produce on an average about 2,000-2,500 units of the Innova from February 2023.

while the new-gen Innova Hycross in its third generation will raise the bar on performance, safety and fuel efficiency with petrol and hybrid versions, Toyota is going to continue its existing Innova Crysta with a diesel avatar well into 2023, offering the widest possible option to the prospective buyers.

For the next calendar year, sources say the Innova Crysta will still continue to account for a third of its C MPV production plan.

While the other Japanese rivals Maruti Suzuki, Honda Cars India have given up on diesel, Toyota will continue to offer the option in both Innova and Fortuner.

Exactly what I predicted in August.

Both Crysta and Fortuner diesel variants will be around for some more time till Toyota tests the market for hybrids. They may upgrade the diesel engine for stringent norms. Petrol variant may be discontinued.

Toyota should be smoking some serious stuff to discontinue a cash cow like Crysta Diesel. They played a smart card. Discontinued Crysta D for some time, cleared all the Petrol inventory and moved the entire Petrol segment to Hycross. Win Win all around..

[84.monsoon]

• SUV Styling
• 200 KG weight reduction with moving to monocoque
• 0-100 in 9.5 seconds
• 6 airbags
• Ventilated seats, looks like this is also provided for the captain seats in second row (not 100% sure)
• Ottoman feature for the rear passenger side chair
• Fully fold flat rear seats, which is a great advantage over the current Innova as it frees up a lot more boot space
• Third row able to accommodate 3 passengers
  
• 21.1 kpl fuel efficiency
• 1100 km range on a full tank

The car does manage to look like an SUV from almost all angles (front, back, front 2/3rds) - the only place it is unable to hide the MUV look is the rear 1/3rd view, which shows how elongated the car is.

Disappointing that this is a very high level unveil, with information mostly already known from the Indonesian unveil. There are no details of what comes next - No information about the variant spread, pricing, booking procedures and availability date. In Indonesia, they announced variants and prices on the same day as the unveil.

[warp_10]

All HyCross hybrid Variants by default would be available in AT only

Petrol
GX 7S and 8S

Hybrid
VX 7S and VX 8S
ZX 7S and ZX 7S Optional

Optional is with TSS [Toyota Safety Sense]

Expected on-road pricing is 30-37L as per company sources.

Info I got from Nandi Toyota just now.

[diwakarmuthu]

With the current gen selling side by side, this ain't going to be cheap, I expect the base version to touch 25-27L ex showroom and the top end with all bells and whistles may touch 35-40L on road.

The 1100 km range proposed looks very interesting and tempting honestly.

Let's wait for the price announcement. I believe it will be revealed later.

[PreludeSH]

Its going to be very near to Fortuner's pricing. With all that technology that is so much more than the Crysta, could turn out to be sour grapes for many. Toyota will make a killing on profit irrespective of numbers.
Hope they prove me wrong by reducing Crysta price and keeping this away from it

[Venkatesh]

Hycross bookings open today. Prices to be announced later. Deliveries to begin by mid-january 2023.

- will get five variants; 3 hybrid, 2 petrol.

In pictures

[raguprasad]

This is awesomely power packed.
Performance and economical, trumps in both worlds.
0-100 less than 10 seconds,
21 odd kmpl.
1097 km in a tank full translates to 50L tank capacity.
Panoramic sunroof with ambient lighting.
6 airbags extending till 3rd row.
ADAS, Auto High-beam lights & much more.

Wish they shared the variants, it's features and the pricing details.

Innova extended a lot from its current offering welcome move Toyota

Keeps us wondering on the price point.
