Asked by: Chethanon Feb 22, 2026
I heard Toyota Hycross facelift might come by end of this year or early next year, is this true ? Should I wait until next year or go ahead with the purchase if there arenโt any significant upgrades planned?
As of now, there is no official confirmation about a Toyota Hycross facelift. The Innova Hycross was launched in early 2023, and Toyota typically waits around four years after a modelโs launch before introducing a mid-life facelift. Based on that pattern, a facelift for the Hycross would be expected closer to early 2027.
If you need a car soon and the current Hycross meets your requirements in terms of features, space, comfort, refinement and reliability, going ahead with the purchase now makes sense.

I am writing to ask for advice for the third time. Age 61. Monthly travel is 800-1,000km, sometimes more. Mostly travel to work and back, plus occasional outstation holiday trips. Outstation long-distance trips may increase in the coming years. I am looking for a reliable and comfortable 5 or 7-seater with good luggage space and good mileage. The vehicle can be petrol, hybrid, diesel or other. It is important that service in case of a breakdown is available across India. Budget up to Rs 35 lakh. Please guide.
The Toyota Innova HyCross hybrid or Maruti Suzuki Invicto hybrid are your best bets. These cars have an efficient hybrid powertrain that's likely to deliver around 13kpl in the city and 16kpl on the highway. Moreover, getting in and out is quite easy, the seats are comfortable, and the boot space is plenty. Also, despite being large cars, these are surprisingly easy to drive due to their light steering and good visibility.
Lastly, both Toyota and Maruti have stellar reputations for their after-sales service and reliability, so you're likely to enjoy a trouble-free ownership experience by opting for either of these two.

My monthly running is between 2500 and 3500 km. I am currently using a diesel car and prefer to keep it till the warranty. After that, should I buy a diesel or a hybrid for 1000km highway, rest city?
You are right - with such high usage per month, your choice is between a diesel and a hybrid; a petrol car's running costs would be too high. Without knowing your budget, it's hard to say which segment you are looking at. But overall, while a diesel is a good option, since your usage is more in the city than on the highway, a good, strong hybrid makes more sense.
For the majority of your use in the city, the car will likely run on electric power alone, with the engine only stepping in to recharge the battery. And on the highway, you have a good mix of engine power, e-power, and regeneration.
Cars like the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Maruti Suzuki Victoris or Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara are good options in the Rs 18-25 lakh range, but if you can spend Rs 30 lakh plus, consider the Toyota Innova HyCross, which has the added bonus of more space.
If your budget is closer to Rs 50 lakh, there is the excellent Toyota Camry Hybrid, and if it is higher still, you can explore the Lexus range of luxury hybrids.

Hi Team, hope you are doing well. I have listed my priorities below from highest to lowest. Could you please discuss internally and guide me on which one suits my needs? (Family of 3) Budget Rs 35 lakh. Sorted list by priority (top to bottom): 1. Comfort, no wobbling, stress-free long drives, excellent absorption of city potholes 2. Low NVH levels and minimal cabin vibration 3. Daily office commute in Bengaluru (50 km) 4. Efficiency (previous car driven to 1 lakh km in 8 years โ diesel Brezza) 5. Fun to drive 6. Post-sales service and reliability 7. Safety 8. Features and interior 9. Need a big boot space occasionally when travelling from the hometown.
The best car to suit your wide range of needs is the Toyota Innova HyCross strong hybrid. It is perhaps not the most fun-to-drive vehicle on the market, but aside from that, it ticks all your boxes and is possibly the best all-round vehicle you can buy at this price point.
To address all your points, it is superbly comfortable - even more so than the diesel Innova Crysta - and has become the long-distance choice for many families. But because of its strong hybrid petrol powertrain, it remains refined and can even run on electric power in city confines. This should serve you well on your commute through Bengaluru, most of which will likely happen in EV mode, leading to tremendous cost savings with the superb fuel economy.
Toyota's aftersales and service are renowned worldwide for being top-class, and within your budget, you can get a fully loaded Innova Hycross with many bells and whistles. Finally, space - as this is a 3-row vehicle and you are a family of 3, there will rarely be a shortage of space, whether you chose the captain seats or the bench for the second row.

I am planning to buy the MG Hector Plus or the Toyota Innova HyCross hybrid. My requirement is comfort and speed when driving on the highway. Please suggest.
You haven't mentioned which variant of the MG Hector Plus you're considering - the turbo-petrol-automatic is refined and smooth, although it isn't efficient, and won't feel effortless on the highway; the diesel, on the other hand, feels much stronger and more suited for highway drives, but it is only available with a manual gearbox. The Hector Plus also impresses when it comes to low-speed ride comfort, but its suspension doesn't feel as settled as the HyCross's at highway speed.
Additionally, the HyCross is the more spacious car, and is easily the better pick if you generally travel with six or seven passengers and luggage. Its hybrid powertrain feels surprisingly peppy, it is quite refined, and it is also likely to return around 16kpl on the highway, which is quite good. Between the two, the Toyota Innova HyCross is a bit pricier, but it comes across as the more sensible pick.

Toyota HyCross hybrid vs Mahindra XUV 7XO, which one to buy?
The choice between the Toyota Innova HyCross and the Mahindra XUV 7XO really comes down to your specific requirements, as both are fairly different. If you are looking for a thrilling and peppy driving experience, then the Mahindra is the way to go. Both the petrol and diesel engines deliver a strong performance and are very refined.
However, if a more laid-back driving feel and fuel efficiency are your priorities, then the Toyota is the way to go, as the hybrid powertrain would prove to be more efficient. In our standard test cycle, it delivered 13.1 km/l in the city and 16.1 km/l on the highway.

I have a family of six adults. Which car would be suitable for me?
If you need a comfortable 6-seater, the Toyota Innova HyCross is the car for you. It offers three spacious rows and, it still leaves you with usable luggage space. If your budget permits, the strong hybrid version is the one to pick as it delivers better fuel efficiency and smoother performance.
A more affordable alternative is the Kia Carens Clavis. All three rows can accommodate adults, and you still get some room for bags. Clavis also gets a wide choice of engines: naturally aspirated petrol, turbo-petrol, and diesel. If your usage is largely within the city, the NA petrol is sufficient. For stronger performance and more relaxed highway overtakes, the turbo-petrol is the better choice.

Iโm planning to buy a new car with a budget of โน25 lakh. I have shortlisted Innova HyCross, XUV 7XO, XEV 9S, and Tata Safari/Harrier. Monthly driving is under 500km, mostly city. Looking for good driving experience, new tech, and decent resale value.
While the Toyota Innova HyCross would have been a good option - especially if you needed to use all three rows of seats - in your budget, you'd only get the petrol version, which is not well-equipped and very inefficient. The hybrid costs upwards of Rs 30 lakh.
The Mahindra XUV 7XO offers excellent value for money and allows you to buy a near fully loaded variant within your budget. However, given your minimal usage, you should go for an electric car, and the XEV 9S is a superb option. You'll get the mid-range 70kWh battery in Pack Two Above spec, but it still packs in quite a bit of features and tech.

Asked by: Shivaon Jan 27, 2026
Should I buy the Innova Hycross non-hybrid or the Hycross hybrid? My usage is mainly on highways and less in the city. I am open to other options as well in 7/8-seater petrol vehicles. Good mileage, engine, and build quality are preferable, as I am planning to keep the car for more than 10 years.
The Toyota Innova HyCross Hybrid is a better pick over the non-hybrid version. The hybrid powertrain is more efficient and will be more suitable for your highway usage. The engine is smooth and refined, and the electric motor provides a good amount of additional torque (even at high speeds). It makes this car easy to drive in the city as well as on the highway.
The Innova HyCross Hybrid is also very fuel-efficient, and you can expect a real-world mileage of around 20kpl+ on the highway. The build quality is also very good, and the cabin is spacious and comfortable. If you are open to other options, you can also consider the Kia Carens Clavis. It's a little smaller but still very spacious and comfortable, and is available with a choice of petrol and diesel engines. It also has excellent build quality and is loaded with features; plus, far more affordable than the Innova Hycross.

I want to buy a 7-8 seater, preferably for family driving. I am confused between the Innova HyCross, XUV 7XO, and Innova Crysta.
We would rule out the Toyota Innova Crysta as it comes with only one powertrain option: a 2.4-litre diesel engine with a manual transmission. There is no automatic. Also, since it is targeted mainly at the taxi and fleet segments, the Crysta isnโt very well-equipped.
The best-equipped is the Mahindra XUV 7XO, which feels the most plush of the lot. However, for a family of 7 to 8 members, third-row comfort is critical, and here the HyCross is by far the best. As an overall family car, the Toyota Innova HyCross, with its spacious cabin, smooth powertrain, and hassle-free ownership experience, is the best option for you.
