Innova Hycross hybrid: 20 observations including mileage after 500 km

For the first 500 Km, I got a mileage of 16.5 km/litre.

BHPian pradeepkm recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Experience is quite good. Driven around 500 Km now in a weeks time.

• Excellent driving comfort

• Very smooth

• Suspension is quite good. Have driven it with full family of 7 and none complained.

• 3rd row seats are for 2 - Middle seat is good for a kid. So essentially I am considering it as 6 seater

• The Steering control buttons are a real let down. No tactile feedback. The arrangement is a complete mess. Audio controls are mixed with cruise controls on the right side. (while using Apple Carplay).

• The speaker system in VX is quite good. I am not missing the subwoofer. Quality is OK.

• The storage box and hand rest is very handy and quite deep.

• Still not able to figure out how to mute the carplay audio when needed with one touch.

• Overall the seating position of the driver is very comfortable. The dead pedal provided is a boon.

• The Goodyear tyres produce road noise and it trickles in to the cabin while on Highways.

• The camera quality overall is quite bad. Added to it is the resolution of the 8 inch screen. These are basic stuff Toyota ignored in a 30L car!

• VX seats in the middle row have good thigh support.

• We can get into the 3rd row between the 2 middle row seats which is good.

• Fitted few accessories like skid plate and window trim chrome garnish. Everything is super costly

• Noticed that in my 500 km drive , the EV battery never got charged above 50 percent. The vehicle moves very aggressively to EV Mode , whenever possible and depletes the battery. Since the user have zero control over the scenario, I will just observe and report the same when I go for first service.

• The Power -Drive mode is quite good for overtaking in highways. Used it in the new Bangalore - Mysore Highway and the Nice road. Very handy when you need that little extra power.

• For sedate driving in the city the eco mode is sufficient. I guess ,in echo mode the vehicle switches to the EV mode quite often .

• For the first 500 Km I got 16.5 Km/litre fuel efficiency. (As per vehicle)

• The eco score display is pretty handy as the vehicle analyses your driving habits and provide comprehensive information.

• The Blk-Agh colour is prone to attract dirt and if you don't clean the car regularly, it will spoil the looks.
