Toyota Innova Hycross

Positives:

• The Hycross is feature-packed with a panoramic sunroof, mood lighting, multi-zone climate control AC (front and rear), and roof-mounted AC vents.

• Like the standard Innova, the Hycross gets high seats and slim pillars that allow for a commanding view and also make driving easy.

• Inside its cabin, it's replete with leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and an electric driver seat with memory function.

• Moreover, in terms of comfort and space, the second-row seats are large and well-cushioned, the legroom is incredible, and there is ample head and shoulder room.

• Even the third row has adequate room for two adults, including enough thigh support, which is negligible in most three-row seater cars.

• There is a 360-degree camera, Toyota i-Connect functionalities like remote start/stop and AC control, rear side window sunshade, and a powered bootlid.

• To further add to the comfort, the second-row captain seats have electrically adjustable leg rests and back-forth seat sliding.

• Other features include a 10-inch touchscreen, seven-inch instrument cluster, and a nine-speaker JBL music player (including subwoofer).

Negatives:

• It takes time to access the third row owing to the slow working of the electric second-row seats.
• The third row cannot seat three adults although Toyota may claim so.

Positives:

• The Hycross is equipped with six airbags as standard across all variants, seatbelt reminders for the second- and third-row seats, and ISOFIX child restraints.
• The MPV also features ABS with EBD, ESC, hill start assist, electronic parking brake with auto-hold, and front and rear parking sensors.
• It also gets Toyota Safety Sense features like dynamic radar cruise control, auto high beam, lane trace assist, blind spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, and pre-collision warning.
• The Toyota Innova Hycross has also received a five-star safety rating from the NCAP authorities.

Positives:

• It has an imposing grille and bumper that incorporates the tri-eye LED headlamps, which include the DRLs and indicators.

• The SUV-centric design lends it the presence of a big SUV and not a people-moving MPV.

• There are strong shoulder lines, curved tailgate with LED taillamps, and 18-inch gunmetal grey alloys.

• The paint shades offered are Blackish Ageha Glass Flake, Platinum White Pearl, Sparkling Black Pearl Crystal Shine, Silver Metallic, Avant-garde Bronze Metallic, Attitude Black Mica, and Super White.
• The most expensive Hycross variant gets a dual-tone dashboard that is finished in an elegant dark chestnut shade.

• It has quilted dark chestnut leather seats and soft-touch materials almost everywhere on the top half of the cabin.

Negatives:

• The top-end versions have 50-section low-profile tyres that look skinny when viewed from the side.
