Toyota has showcased the Innova Hycross in India and has revealed that the new MPV will be offered in five broad trims: G, GX, VX, ZX and ZX(O). We have now exclusively learned that the carmaker will also be providing the Innova Hycross to fleet operators, although they can only purchase the MPV’s base-spec G trim.

Although the G trim is the entry-level option of the Innova Hycross variant lineup, it does offer a rather premium experience thanks to it being fairly loaded. The G trim comes with auto LED headlights, LED taillights, power windows, push-button start/stop, electrically adjustable ORVMs and adjustable rear headrests. That said, the G trim does miss out on some prime features such as a height-adjustable driver seat, an infotainment system and a reversing camera. The G trim comes with both seven- and eight-seater options.

Its safety net includes dual front airbags, vehicle stability control (VSC), front and rear parking sensors and ISOFIX child-seat anchorages.

The G trim will only get a 2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine (making 174PS and 205Nm), mated to a CVT gearbox. The top two trims will be available with a 186PS 2-litre strong-hybrid option, which comes coupled with an e-CVT.

Until now, the Innova Crysta has been a favourite among fleet operators and with its diesel powertrain set to make a comeback soon, Toyota will continue offering it for those who will screw yellow number plates onto it.
