Now, bookings for the Toyota Innova Hycross ZX and ZX (O) have reopened after almost a year-long pause, and prices have also been hiked.

Hybrid models currently command a waiting period of about 1 year.
Last year, the waiting period for the fully-loaded Hycross MPV had extended to as long as 2.5 years due to production limitations, although production of the variant itself did not cease. Now the waiting period has also been reduced to 1 year for the hybrid variants and about 5 to 6 months for the petrol-only variants. Offering a choice of five trims and 12 variants, the Hycross MPV is available in both seven- and eight-seat configurations. Although certain variants feature the seven-seat layout with captain seats in the second row.
Toyota also disclosed plans to hike prices for specific variants of select models in India starting in April 2024, with an increase of about 1 per cent for select models and variants. As a result of this adjustment, prices for the Hycross models now fall within the range of Rs 18.92 lakh to Rs 30.98 lakh (ex-showroom). Moreover, the brand also announced surpassing 50,000 unit sales for the Innova Hycross MPV in India, achieved within roughly 15 months since its launch in November 2022.
