Engineering Excellence

This combination of power, efficiency, and eco-friendliness aligns with Toyota’s vision for environmentally conscious mobility.
For customers seeking varied performance options, select variants of the Innova HyCross come with a 2.0-litre gasoline engine paired with a direct shift CVT, delivering 129 kW (174 PS). This ensures a diverse portfolio catering to different driving needs and preferences.
