I have written an email to Toyota India condemning this shady practice of Shaw Toyota. I just hope they agree to remove it.

Should I take the insurance from Toyota? They gave a quotation of 1.38L. Acko zero dep with RTI and a few add-ons is around 67k. What do you guys suggest?

6250 is the standard miscellaneous charge being levied. Toyota didn't help me to remove the same.

Don't take insurance from Toyota. Instead, approach the insurance agents nearby. I bought mine with all possible add-ons on ZXO for 71k this month only from TATA AIG (which has a much better satisfactory rate than Acko)
The dealer tried to sell me insurance purely relying on calling hybrid battery cover included with his one. And when I refused to take it from him, he only asked me to provide a signed undertaking of the same. (this was his marketing gimmick to make me afraid of losing out on hybrid cover)

Hey man,
Which Insurance party did you go for and how much was it?

I went with Toyota itself because they gave it to me for 1.25L and it included tyres, rims and rat protection along with unlimited zero dep claims. Also the added peace of mind that even when I'm out of state, I can give the car to any toyota dealership and they would compulsorily have to give me cashless regardless of whichever insurance company they are tied up with.

You can try royal sundaram, which had given me a decent offer with all add-ons for about 70-80k.

What is the insurance provider from the Toyota panel that you took. As i hear from my dealer icici is the best and others are good. The dealer is proposing Bajaj Allianz as the Toyota protect insurance provider. I’m to decide for my zxo insurance and I’m getting confused between TATA AIG and Toyota protect with there being a wide gap in the prices.

Can anyone pitch in to real time fuel economy for a petrol Hycross (Not the hybrid) over a few thousand kilometers. Am still confused to if a hybrid would make sense for me.

Anyone else feel that the head rests are too uncomfortable? This seems to be the only problem I faced on a long drive. These head "restraints" jut forward too much to protect you from whiplash in the case of a rear ending accident but it also forces your neck too forward in normal everyday use. Wish I could change the headrests but oddly, I can't find anyplace selling headrests. Something like the Safari or Vellfire headrests atleast in the rear would be a game changer.

Yes. It hurts for me during long drives. I feel lack of support as if I'm driving the car without headrest.
I have ordered the below cushion for my upcoming long drive. Don't know how much comfort it will provide.

I had noticed the same during the test drive. This is not just a HyCross specific issue, but something that plagues a lot of cars. We already have an entire thread dedicated to it.

Pls try removing the headrest and putting it back in a reversed position, like how I have done in my City, as mentioned and shown in the link above.

Most of the accessories are glued / sticker taped (even official ones).
That is why the gentleman is cleaning the base.

My mileage figures stands at 14.7 for overall trip full tank method. Drove eco& normal mode while going and power mode while returning.
I was hoping for better figures. Can't figure out where i went wrong.
In city drive in NCR, I usually get between 20-22 so i was hoping this mileage on trip too but did not get close to it.

Hybrid are at their most efficient at city speeds. Even at higher speeds there is still some motor assist but at 120kmph I reckon there wont be any. Keep your speed to 100 or under and you will get much better mileage.
