Toyota Innova Hycross prices hiked for the first time in India as the strong hybrid variants endure the maximum hike
By the end of last year, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) introduced the Innova Hycross in the domestic market, priced between Rs. 18.30 lakh and Rs. 28.97 lakh (ex-showroom). The Japanese manufacturer has increased the prices of the premium MPV for the first time and two new variants have been added to the lineup to expand the strong hybrid portfolio.
The entry-level seven-seater G petrol variant sees a price hike of Rs. 25,000 and it now costs Rs. 18.55 lakh while other variants in the regular petrol range witness a similar hike and thus the eight-seater G, seven-seater GX and eight-seater GX are priced at Rs. 18.60 lakh, Rs. 19.40 lakh and Rs. 19.45 lakh respectively (all prices, ex-showroom).
Thus, a price hike of 1.3 per cent has been made in the regular petrol version. The base strong hybrid petrol VX seven-seater now costs Rs. 24.76 lakh (ex-showroom) with a substantial price hike of Rs. 75,000. The eight-seater VX is Rs. 5,000 costlier. Across the strong hybrid range, the prices are up by Rs. 75,000. The top-spec ZX is now priced at Rs. 29.08 lakh.
