1. Bigger Digital Driver's Display
All hybrid variants of the Toyota Innova Hycross feature a 7-inch digital drivers display, significantly larger than the 5-inch TFT display found in the BYD eMax 7. The bigger screen aids the driver in better awareness of the drive metrics and other essential information.
2. Panoramic Sunroof
While the BYD eMAX 7 comes with a big glass roof which feels pretty nice, the Innova Hycross inches ahead with a proper opening of the sunroof for fresh air and more light in make way into the cabin. While you may debate the availability of sunroofs and their pros and cons, it is something that adds character to the cabin.
3. Powered Ottoman Seats For The Second Row
If you are someone who has a chauffeur-driven Innova Hycross, the second row fully electrical Ottoman captain chairs are something that will make you drool. You can adjust the seats electrically and also get leg extensions as well. In comparison, the BYD eMAX 7 comes with simple captain seats. And if you drive it by yourself, there's a pretty loaded package for the driver's seat as well.

The Innova Hycross takes the practicality even further with the dual-zone climate control for the front and second-row seats. Both the occupants at the front and the second row can adjust the temperature according to their comfort, which is something that you will find useful in your everyday life.

5. Memory Seats For The Driver
Remember when I said if you are going to drive by yourself, the driver seat has plenty to offer? While the front seat is pretty teched-up in terms of modern features around like a fully digital cluster, a big touchscreen, sunroof controls, etc, the driver seat is fully electrically adjustable and with that said, it comes with memory function as well. On top of this, you get the welcome function as well where the seats goes al the way back to make room for your entry and then adjust as per your set parameters.
Verdict
If you are going to talk about the MPV segment in India, it is an uphill battle for any rival to dethrone the Toyota Innova sisters. They have come a long way and proved thier reliablity, performance, and the comfortable ride quality to make a premanent mark in the hearts of the Indian buyers. While BYD eMAX 7 looks promising and has loads to offer, the electric nature coupled with a limited market reach is its own biggest rival, which, as of now, is not in a position to dethrone the Innova siblings. But can it do that in the coming future? Well, let's give it some fair share of time in the market and not make any assumptions just yet!
