As can be seen, the upcoming Innova Hycross will deliver the highest mileage. And it is good considering its size. A good 20 to 23 kmpl is something to look out for. One thing we know for sure is that, be it the city or the highways, the overall FE with the petrol-hybrid set-up definitely comes out great in the end. Also, the power expected can range between 175 bhp to 185 bhp.
The existing Innova Crysta petrol delivers a mere 10.60 kmpl with the MT and 10.50 kmpl when paired with a 6-speed AT. The power comes from a 2.7L massive petrol engine and Crysta sits on a ladder on the frame chassis.
Another popular rival, Hyundai Alcazar gets a 2.0L, four-cylinder, naturally aspirated petrol motor. This one delivers an ARAI-certified economy of 14.5 kmpl with the stick shift and 14.2 kmpl with the AT. This 2.0L motor pumps out 157 bhp of power with a peak torque of 192 Nm.
MG Hector Plus gets two petrol engine options - 1.5L petrol and 1.5L petrol with mild-hybrid tech. The latter only gets mated to a 6-speed MT while the regular petrol gets a six-speed manual transmission as standard and CVT and DCT as an option.
