New Toyota Innova Hycross Facelift Interiors Spied – Could Get These Updates

While getting exterior updates and new features, Innova Hycross facelift is expected to continue with the existing engine options

Toyota has commenced road tests of Innova Hycross facelift, which could be launched later this year or in 2027. Significant updates are expected, as competition is set to intensify in this space. Hycross is currently the second bestselling Toyota car in India with close to 22% contribution to total sales. Latest spy shots reveal new features that the updated model could have.

Innova Hycross facelift – Expected exterior changes

Latest spy shots are credited to OnlyNandos channel. Most of the exterior updates will be seen across the front fascia. The existing reflector units are likely to be replaced with projector headlamps. This will boost illumination levels and also ensure a more contemporary aesthetic. Innova Hycross facelift is also expected to get updates to the grille and bumper, giving it a sharper presence.

Side profile is expected to be largely the same as the current model. Test mules have been spotted testing with the same alloy wheels as the current version. Innova Hycross has squared wheel arches, conventional door handles, chrome garnish on the windows, blacked-out B and C pillars and a gently sloping roofline.

At the rear, Innova Hycross facelift is expected to continue with the existing tail lamps. Turn indicators appear to be using incandescent bulbs, just like the current model. However, the brake lights appear to be new, featuring a seamless LED strip. The brake lights on the current Hycross have four individual LEDs.

New features

Inside, recent spy shots have revealed the presence of a larger touchscreen infotainment system. It is at least around 12 inches or more. The larger touchscreen could also get an updated OS. The current Hycross model utilizes a 10.1-inch touchscreen. It is possible that the digital console could also gain in size and get updated graphics. The current model utilizes a 7-inch TFT instrument cluster.

Based on consumer feedback, Toyota could also be looking to improve overall fit and finish. NVH levels could be another area where Hycross facelift could see tangible improvements. Other desirable items include electrically powered front passenger seat, illuminated window and door lock switches. Hycross facelift could get an improved 360 degree camera, new connected features, ventilated second row seats and a more premium music system with Dolby Atmos.

Innova Hycross current model already has premium features such as R18 alloy wheels and panoramic sunroof with mood lighting and roof mounted AC vents. A range of first-in-segment features are available such as dual function DRL + indicator, ventilated front seats, power back door, rear sunshade, multi zone AC, electrochromic IRVM and powered Ottoman seats with long slide.

Flex Fuel possible

While retaining the existing powertrain options, it is likely that Flex Fuel option could be introduced with Innova Hycross facelift. The current model has 2.0-litre petrol and 2.0-litre strong hybrid powertrain options. The former generates 173 hp and 204 Nm of torque. It is paired with a CVT transmission. Hycross 2.0 self-charging strong hybrid integrates a 113 hp electric motor, generating combined power output of 183.7 hp. This powertrain is equipped with an e-CVT transmission.
