- Hints at new headlights and tail-lights
- Alloy wheels appear to be unchanged
- Expected to get the same powertrains
Toyota Innova Hycross facelift: What was seen?
New grille, sleeker headlights and revised tail-lights could be spotted
While design details of the Toyota Innova Hycross facelift were hidden under camouflage, the spy shots hint at a fascia inspired by the upcoming Hilux pick-up. Sleeker headlights with new projector units that seem to be connected via a trim bit and a honeycomb mesh design for the grille, like the Hilux, can be seen. The front bumper is also new, featuring pixel-shaped LED fog lamps, positioned higher than on the current model.
There are no visible changes in the profile. The alloy wheels appear similar to those on the current Innova Hycross, and the wheel arches feature prominent bulges for the cladding. However, the rear seems to feature new LED taillight elements that seem to be connected via a plastic trim. The rear bumper design, however, looks similar to the current model. A rear wiper, a roof-mounted spoiler, and a shark-fin antenna could also be seen.
Toyota Innova Hycross facelift: Other expected changes
Interior is likely to be updated with new trims and upholstery
Spy shots of the Innova Hycross facelift reveal a free-standing infotainment system, similar to the current model. More details are yet to be spotted. Toyota is likely to update the Innova Hycross’ interior to make it feel more modern than before. It is likely to get new trims and upholstery, but it remains to be seen if Toyota offers it with new features.
Expected to continue with the same powertrain options
With the facelifted model, Toyota is expected to continue with the current Innova Hycross’ powertrain options. These include a 173hp, 2.0-litre petrol engine mated to a CVT automatic or a 184hp, 2.0-litre petrol-hybrid setup paired with an e-CVT.
Toyota usually takes four years to introduce a mid-cycle facelift to its models. As the Innova Hycross was launched in December 2022, the facelifted Innova Hycross is likely to launch in early 2027. It will continue to lock horns with the rebadged Maruti Suzuki Invicto, while serving as a combustion-powered alternative to eMPVs such as the Mahindra XEV 9S and BYD eMax 7.
