To Come With A Strong Hybrid Engine
The powertrain of the upcoming Innova Hycross will undergo the most significant upgrade. The next-generation MPV will have a powerful hybrid petrol engine. The powertrain duties are anticipated to be performed by a new 2.0-liter hybrid petrol engine. This engine will produce 190 bhp or more of power. An e-CVT or automatic transmission is expected to be available with the hybrid powertrain option. By operating the vehicle in pure electric mode at moderate speeds and in city traffic, the hybrid powertrain will contribute to enhanced fuel efficiency.
To Boast A Monocoque Chassis
The Hycross will now boast a monocoque chassis, replacing the ladder-on-frame chassis used to build the current generation Innova. The MPV will have larger dimensions than the current generation in addition to having a monocoque frame. Along with redesigned front and rear fascias, the MPV will also get larger alloy wheels, a longer wheelbase, and other design changes.
