The Indonesia-spec Toyota Innova Hycross, carrying the Zenix suffice, is being revealed today. More images have been leaked of the hotly-anticipated MPV. The Innova Hycross will debut in India on November 25, moving to a front-driven architecture and hybrid powertrain.

The big news with this generation change for the Innova is that it now moves to the TNGA architecture, moving from the earlier rear-drive, ladder frame chassis to a front-driven, monocoque layout. Another significant change is that the Toyota Innova Hycross will now get a hybrid powertrain. This powertrain is expected to be unrelated to the one seen in the Camry and could be the same as the hybrid system as seen in the Corolla Cross SUV and new Prius internationally.

This uses a 2.0-litre Atkinson cycle petrol motor that puts out 154PS and 190 Nm that pairs with a 113PS and 206 Nm electric motor with an e-CVT in the mix. The Innova Hycross will be a petrol-only offering for the first time now and lower-spec models could get a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol with 170PS and 202 Nm, again paired with a CVT.

The Toyota Innova Hycross should come with a longer list of features too with this generation change. Expect to see LED lighting, a larger touchscreen, digital instrumentation, 360-degree cameras, ambient lighting, connected tech and maybe even some level of ADAS functions. The interiors have seen sweeping changes too. It is a more contempraray space with a flat horizontal design, a large free-standing touchscreen with a slim panel to AC controla and a dash-mounted gearlever. The instrument cluster is new too as is the steering wheel.
