Toyota Innova Hycross GX (O): pricing and rivals

Toyota is yet to reveal the pricing for the Innova Hycross GX (O), but considering that it packs additional equipment over the GX variant, which is priced between Rs 19.77 lakh-19.82 lakh, we expect it to carry a premium of around Rs 70,000. Meanwhile, the hybrid variants of the Innova Hycross are priced between Rs 25.72 lakh-30.68 lakh.

While the Innova Hycross does not have a direct rival, it faces some competition from three-row SUVs like the Mahindra XUV700, Tata Safari and MG Hector Plus.
