Toyota Innova Hycross Enters Malaysia As Innova Zenix

The Malaysian-spec Toyota Innova Zenix gets the same powertrains as the India-spec Toyota Innova Hycross

• The Innova Zenix is offered in only one feature-rich variant.

• Gets the same design inside and out, save for an all-black cabin theme.

• Features on board include a 10-inch touchscreen, a panoramic sunroof (hybrid only) and ADAS.

• Prices range from RM 165,000 to RM 202,000, equivalent to Rs 28.96 lakh and Rs 35.45 lakh.

Six months after entering the Indian market, the Toyota Innova Hycross has made its way into Malaysia, although rebranded as the "Innova Zenix." While it has retained the powertrain options found in its Indian counterpart, Malaysian buyers are treated to a fully loaded variant. Here are the variant-wise prices of the MPV in the Southeast Asian nation:

Same Design Formula

The Malaysian-spec Innova Zenix has the same design language inside and out as its Indian counterpart, including the same 18-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting and honeycomb pattern for the grille. That said, it gets an all-black cabin theme, which we expect to find in the upcoming Maruti Invicto.

The Malaysian-spec petrol-powered Toyota MPV is available in an 8-seater layout while the hybrid variant can be had in only the 7-seater version.

A Similar Features List

Toyota is offering the Malaysia-spec Innova with a 10-inch touchscreen, 8-way powered driver seat, panoramic sunroof (hybrid variant only), a 7-inch digital driver’s display, and paddle shifters.

Safety kit includes a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, six airbags, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The ADAS suite consists of adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and lane departure assist.

The India-spec Innova Hycross offers all the kit mentioned above in its top variant too.

Identical Powertrains

As mentioned earlier, the Malaysia-spec model also gets the choice of two petrol powertrains as the India-spec Innova Hycross. They are a 174PS 2-litre naturally aspirated unit, and a similar engine with the strong hybrid system rated at 186PS. The former gets a CVT option, and the latter comes with an e-CVT gearbox.

Premium Innova MPV At Home

The India-spec Toyota Innova Hycross is available in six broad variants, priced between Rs 18.55 lakh and Rs 29.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). Its only direct rival will be the upcoming Maruti Invicto, while continuing to be a premium offering over the likes of the Kia Carens and Toyota Innova Crysta.
