If you have been wanting to pick a feature-loaded Toyota Innova Hycross, you would have to stretch your budget for the MPV’s hybrid version, as it is loaded with creature comforts. It seems the carmaker has taken cognisance of the same and will soon be introducing better-equipped variants in the regular petrol lineup.
More Details Of The New Variants
Toyota will soon launch the new mid-spec GX (O) variants, positioned above the GX trim. These will become the new top-spec variants for the petrol version of the MPV. It will be offered in both 7- and 8-seater layouts. Although prices of the new variants are yet to be revealed, we are expecting them to command a premium over the GX trim.
What Additional Features Do They Get?
The new GX (O) variants will get a few more features over the existing GX variants such as LED front fog lamps, auto climate control, a 10.1-inch touchscreen (with 7-seater variant only), and a rear retractable sunshade (7-seater variant only). Toyota will offer the GX (O) 8-seater variant with a smaller 8-inch touchscreen unit.
In terms of safety, the new GX (O) will be offered with rear defogger, a reversing camera, and front and rear parking sensors. The MPV already gets six airbags, vehicle stability control (VSC), electronic parking brake with auto-hold, and ISOFIX child seat mounts as standard. The fully loaded ZX (O) variant in the strong-hybrid lineup also comes with some advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and rear cross-traffic alert.
