If we take the high-end MPVs in India, it doesn’t get much better than the Toyota Innova. The Tata Hexa is absolutely deserted and Mahindra Marazzo is clinging to its life with negligible sales. The new Innova Hycross won well with the public. To increase its sales and offer a greater diversity of variants, Toyota has introduced the GX(O) edition with Innova Hycross.
Until now, Toyota sold the GX, VX, ZX, and ZX(O) editions. There’s also a basic G trim point that Toyota has reserved exclusively for advertising purposes. While the G and GX are sold with the only non-hybrid powertrain, the VX, ZX, and ZX(O) are exclusively hybrid. The company indexed a new high-end GX(O) edition in its last month.
Now, the GX(O) edition is introduced in India. When it comes to seating arrangement options, Toyota offers the GX(O) trim with 7- and 8-seat variants. The value of the GX (O) edition varies depending on the seating arrangement. While the 8-seater variant costs Rs. 9,999. 20. 99 lakh (ex-sh), the 7-seater variant costs Rs. 9,999. 21. 13 lakh (ex-SH).
Buyers who opt for the 7-seater variant will have to lose an additional Rs 999,14,000 (ex-SH) for the 8-seater variant. In fact, the 7-seater variant benefits from additional features such as a retractable rear sunshade, a 10. 1-inch touchscreen infotainment formula with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The new GX (O) version is located above the GX version and is now the version for variants with non-hybrid powertrains. Exterior features added compared to the GX trim with GX(O) are a rear defroster, a 360-degree camera, LED fog lights, and front parking sensors. Inside, the GX(O) has soft-touch plastics on the dashboard and doors, new cloth seat covers, and brown interior color.
In terms of equipment, the GX (O) trim includes a 10. 1-inch touchscreen infotainment screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay wireless connectivity (not featured with the 8-seater variant) and automatic climate control.
The Toyota Innova Hycross GX (O) trim includes seven exterior colors: Platinum Pearl Attitude, Sparkling Black Pearl Crystal Shine, Super White, Avant Garde Bronze Metallic, Blackish Ageha Glass Flake, Platinum White Pearl and Attitude Black Mica. Bookings are open for some time and deliveries have begun.
The GX (O) has a single 2. 0-litre 4-cylinder NA petrol engine capable of generating 173 hp of peak power and 209 Nm of peak torque, mated to a single CVT gearbox. With the exception of its signature cousin, Maruti Suzuki Undefeated. , the Toyota Innova Hycross is unrivalled.
