The Innova Hycross’ sunroof seems to be a large one, spanning the length of the first two rows. It’s flanked by blue streaks of ambient lighting. Also, the Hycross still gets roof-mounted AC vents, but they are now placed on the sides of the sunroof, unlike vents that are placed in front of you on the roof. 

The panoramic sunroof isn’t the only new addition to the Innova nameplate, which will also get ADAS for the first time. The safety suite is expected to comprise adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and forward collision avoidance assist. Other expected new features include ventilated front seats and a head-up display.  

The list of new things for the Innova nameplate go on skin-deep. So, for the first time, the MPV will be based on a monocoque platform instead of the traditional body-on-frame chassis. It will also get a new 2-litre strong-hybrid powertrain (another debutant) developing around 190PS. A base-spec 2-litre petrol engine is also expected for a more accessible starting price.  

Speaking of which, prices of the upcoming Innova Hycross are expected to be announced at the 2023 Auto Expo, and it could start from around Rs 20 lakh (ex-showroom). It’ll be a more premium alternative to the Kia Carens and Mahindra Marazzo.
