The Toyota Innova Hycross Facelift will be launched in India on November 25, 2026. Toyota has announced the date of the new model of its premium MPV, and the car is likely to see a lot of changes in the exterior and interior. This will be the first major update of the Innova Highcross which will enter the Indian market by the end of 2022.
New front design and attractive look
During the testing of the Toyota Innova Hicross facelift, several changes have been seen in the front part of the car. The new model is likely to get a wide and angular grille, slim projector headlamps and a redesigned bumper. Apart from this, there could be pixel-style LED fog lamps, new alloy wheels and graphics changes to the rear taillamps. The side profile, roofline and overall shape of the car are likely to remain the same as the current model.

The engine and hybrid technology will remain?
The current 2.0-litre petrol engine option is likely to be retained in the new Innova Hicross. The naturally aspirated petrol engine produces 173 hp of power, while the petrol-electric hybrid system produces a combined power of 184 hp. The petrol version gets a CVT and the hybrid model gets an e-CVT gearbox. As per the current ARAI certified mileage, the petrol model returns 16.13 kmpl, while the hybrid model returns 23.24 kmpl.
Big screen and new features in the cabin
The update of the Kijang Innova Xenix launched in Indonesia is likely to bring changes to the cabin of the Indian model as well. The new model gets a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen. The current model gets a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, electrically adjustable seats and second row ottoman seats. The facelift is likely to get new interior colors, upholstery and updated software.

E30 Petrol support and possible cost
The Toyota Innova Hicross facelift may get more support for ethanol blended petrol. The company had previously shown a flex-fuel HyCross prototype running on E85 ethanol. The new model is expected to support E30 or higher ethanol blends. But the official information about this has not come out yet.
The likely ex-showroom price of the new Toyota Innova Hicross facelift could be between ₹20 lakh and ₹35 lakh. Maruti Suzuki Invicto will be its closest rival. The new design, hybrid technology and changes in the cabin could make this MPV a new option for customers.
