Here's how the Toyota Innova Hycross base variant looks

Toyota has started dispatching entry-level trims, aimed at fleet operators.

The Toyota Innova Hycross was launched in December last year. You may have seen the MPV on the road by now, but most of these have been high-end variants. Now, Toyota has started dispatching entry-level trims, aimed at fleet operators.

The Innova Hycross is available in six variants with prices starting at Rs 18.55 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base G trim. As you can see in these images, the G trim looks very basic with its steel wheels, black grille and bumper inserts.

It’s a similar story on the interiors, which looks quite dreary with grey plastics all around. The centre console houses the manual AC module and the shift lever and has provision for an infotainment system. You will also spot a few dummy buttons on the dashboard. The taxi variant gets a 3-spoke steering wheel and a twin-dial instrument cluster with a central MID.

The base variant of the Innova Hycross is powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that makes 172 BHP and 197 Nm. It is paired with a CVT.
