I am posting this here on behalf of my friend who is not member here. He has bought the Hycross on 28/02/23 and it was having hybrid system malfunction since day one, its been almost 20 days but Toyota is yet to provide solution to this even after multiple call to customer care and dealerships.
Car sitting idle in dealer warehouse. Is there anyway to reach Toyota senior management to raise this?

I puchased screen guard for VX 8-inch system from armourguards.co.in - https://armourguards.co.in/product/t...pack=pack-of-1

Got the glossy finish. Quality is good. Installed it myself. Keep a squeegy handy to clear air bubbles. See pic below after installation.

I never denied that Hycross is one of the best cars for various reasons as mentioned by you in your post. However, you have just touched upon all positives of this car (and I agree with all those points as per my TD experience), but it's not possible that there are no shortcomings at all. I agree that one can live with this plastic quality and it may last longer, however I sincerely feel that the door cover can break off easily if one pulls it down forcefully.

Not owning a vehicle doesn't disallow someone to mention areas where improvements are needed.

Dear Team-BHPians,

This forum has been invaluable for me to follow about getting my next car (upgrading from XUV 5OO W8).

I'm in a small fix though. I need a 7-8 seater and Hycross is perfect. Love the fact that it is so spacious.

My current running is about 30 KM per day (weekday office runabouts, 50% city and 50% expressway + travel with family on weekends), and while the ZX(O) is also within my budget, but economincally due to low running, it makes sense for me to change it to the GX Petrol (non-hybrid) and save at least 6 lakhs up-front cost.

I did test drive the ZX(O) variant and the car is an excellent all-rounder. But due to the above predicament, I'm actively considering the following:

1. Upgrade down to GX. I don't need sun-roof, though I will miss 6 air-bags and
2. The interiors are a little too dark for my liking, so I'm actively thinking of getting a lighter version done at CarPlus - see video below

Are above good ideas? Also, is the GX engine performance nearly as good as the hybrid?

Please update us on the progress. I am not comfortable hearing these news as I have also booked one and keenly watching this thread.

You need to pair your phone to the car first via Android Play or Apple Car Play.

Sadly no solution from Toyota yet. Car is not in use for more than 20 days.

I am talking about the default Toyota Voice recognition where the paired bluetooth is what needed.

Yes, that's how it works.

Quick question regarding Insurance.
What is the IDV showing for you guys?
I have booked the VX 8 Str in Pune and the ex-showroom is 24,81,000/-.
The IDV should be at-least this, right?
I think the Dealer (Sonak Toyota, Pune) has scammed me in declaring the IDV at INR 23,56,951/-.

Please guide if I am just being paranoid or I've actually been scammed.

Why did this gentleman accept such a car during delivery?

Is it registered on his name?

Yes, that's one way to nudge a customer into buying a car with him owning all the risks. Once they officially announce the E20 compliance they will have to bear the E20 related issues under warranty.

They will wait and watch and build the backlog of all the issues they need to fix before official declaration....very clever indeed!

You are not scammed. The IDV is 95% of ex-showroom price.
