Finally, after being halted for over a year, Toyota has resumed bookings for the Innova Hycross ZX and ZX(O) variants. In addition to this, the company has also hiked the pricing of the top-spec ZX and ZX(O) variants as well. Ever since the bookings were stopped last year, the waiting time for these variants increased to more than 2 years. It seems like the brand will now steadily deliver these extremely in-demand models.
The Innova Hycross ZX and ZX(O) variants were launched with a starting price of Rs 28.33 lakh and Rs 28.97 lakh. However, after this recent commencement of bookings, the company has hiked their prices. Currently, the ZX and ZX(O) variants are priced at Rs 30.34 lakh and Rs 30.98 lakh.
Innova Hycross ZX(O) Selling at Premium
Earlier in March, it was reported by Team BHP that the official bookings were stopped by Toyota. Some dealers in the black market were selling the highly sought-after ZX(O) variant at a premium.
These dealerships and individual dealers were asking Rs 3.5-4 lakh on top of the Rs 35 lakh on-road price of the model. Because of this, many Innova Hycross Hybrid buyers shared their anguish with the brand.
Interested buyers asked why they were being forced to contend with inflated prices and lengthy delays. They added that Toyota should note these activities in the black market and put an end to it.
Toyota Innova Hycross ZX(O)
The Toyota Innova Hycross, as we all know, is an extremely popular premium MPV in the country. Its ZX(O) variant, which is the most expensive one in its lineup, is especially more popular. This model comes equipped with a hybrid powertrain and gets all the creature comforts and features.
The top-of-the-line ZX(O) and ZX variants come powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine. This engine also gets the assistance of a 1.7 kWh Ni-MH battery-powered hybrid system. This powertrain generates a maximum of 184 bhp and 188 Nm of torque. It is only offered with an e-CVT transmission.
Apart from this hybrid powertrain, the lower variants of the Innova Hycross come without a hybrid system. This powertrain comprises a 2.0-litre petrol engine producing 173 bhp and 209 Nm of torque. This engine comes mated to a CVT transmission.
The Toyota Innova Hycross comes equipped with a host of features. The list includes a floating 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a semi-digital instrument cluster. It also comes with leather upholstery, front ventilated seats, and ambient lights.
Additional features include a panoramic sunroof, multi-function steering wheel, and others. It also gets ADAS. The Toyota ADAS system offers adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, along with others.
Toyota offers the Innova Hycross in six variants: G, GX, VX, VX(O), ZX, and ZX(O). Except for the ZX and ZX(O), all of these variants are offered with both seven and eight-seater configurations. Toyota will be soon launching the GX O variant of the Hycross as well. This new variant will be positioned above the existing GX variant and will offer features that were reserved for the hybrid variants of the MPV.
