2022 Toyota Innova Hycross Design Details
As seen in the leaked exterior photo, the Hycross gets an SUV-ish design. The front and side profile hints muscular exterior design. Additionally, the bigger alloy wheel size and the front grille design add to its muscular appeal. If seen closely, one can also notice the body lines match the Fortuner SUV too. However, the Hycross will remain an MPV. Meanwhile, it will be longer than the Innova Crysta. It is because it is based on a monocoque chassis & FWD. Hence, elongated length is visible which further translates into a bigger size.
Another major design cue to notice is the DRL positioning. The sleek LED DRLs are placed with an all-new front bumper design. The triangle-shaped air dams on the front give it a bigger outlook as well. Additionally, the bonnet lines divulge similar to the design of the bigger SUVs. Meanwhile, the quarter panel design is different from the current model. It boasts a slanting design with a small curvy quarter glass. We also expect that the rear design is going to be similarly different. It gets a new sleek LED taillight design & boot lid too.
Toyota will debut the Hycross soon in India. It will get a 2.0-lt, petrol engine with strong hybrid technology. Using this, Toyota will axe its diesel engine on the Hycross. However, it is being reported online that the current Crysta will also remain on sale alongside it. This possibly means that Toyota aims to sell the Hycross to private buyers more.
Verdict
The Indian-spec Hycross is expected to debut at the Indian Auto Expo 2022. Its expected price will remain around Rs 20 lakh. But due to its muscular design, it will rival more contenders. These shall include - Mahindra XUV 700, MG Hector Plus, & Tata Safari.
