Toyota Innova Hycross Fuel Economy Details
The main talking point about the Hycross is its powertrain. Why? It is because Toyota has equipped it with a petrol-hybrid engine only. This means that Hycross will not be available with a diesel engine option. However, the M20A FXS hybrid system will help deliver amazing fuel economy figures. As suggested by the reports online, it will be able to deliver 20-23 kmpl. Now, this is a huge number considering the size of Hycross. Toyota has used a new monocoque chassis for it with an FWD system. This has led to an increment in the length of the MPV. Hence, delivering such fuel economy is going to be a deal-maker for the buyers.
Additionally, the petrol motor is going to be a 2.0-lt engine. It is a naturally aspirated motor sourced from the global Corolla Altis sedan. Paired with a hybrid powertrain, the power output shall remain between 175-185 bhp. However, the MPV will be available with a manual as well as an automatic gearbox option. Additionally, the monocoque chassis means it will have more plaint ride & comfort to offer. Toyota is also going to fit a big panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, ambient lighting, etc., to make the cabin experience amazing.
