It is also worth noting the fact that the new Toyota Innova Hycross will be based on Toyota’s new modular TNGA-C platform that also underpins the current-gen Corolla sold in the global markets. This new platform offers a flat floor at the rear and will also offer better space for the second and row occupants. In addition to monocoque architecture, the new Innova Hycross will also have a front-wheel-drive layout. It is worth noting the fact the previous-gen models of the Innova features a ladder-on-frame construction with a rear-wheel-drive set-up.
Another major change comes in the form of the new hybrid powertrain that will replace the diesel motor. Uline the present-gen Toyota Innova, the new Toyota Innova Hycross will not be offered with a diesel motor and is likely to utilise a 2.0L petrol hybrid motor. This engine will not only offer strong performance but in addition to this, will also offer commendable fuel economy figures for the buyers.
