Toyota Innova Hycross (Zenix) Revealed In Indonesia; India Debut On Nov 25

• India unveil on November 25.
• Gets a 2.0-litre petrol engine with a strong-hybrid system.

Japanese automaker Toyota has revealed the new Innova Zenix in Indonesia. The vehicle will make its debut on November 25 in India as the Innova Hycross.

Toyota Innova Hycross – Platform and Design

The new Innova has a more masculine and SUV-like design than its predecessors. Finished in contrast black with chrome surrounds, the car’s front facia shows off a large trapezoidal grille. An attractive cheatline runs down the centre of its wide front bumper, which cleverly morphs into triangular units at each corner. LED daytime running lights are also positioned horizontally on the cheatline.

In the profile, the two character lines run the length of the MPV, neatly merging with the wraparound LED taillights. This is similar to the styling on the Avanza Veloz MPV sold overseas.

Speaking of the underpinnings, a lighter, more sophisticated front-wheel-drive TNGA modular architecture replaces the rear-wheel-drive IMV platform in the new Toyota Innova, making it lighter and roomier than its predecessor. Here’s a look at its dimensions: –
