Toyota Kirloskar Motor recently launched the Innova Hycross in India and this is the third generation of the MPV with a completely fresh look. While the prices are yet to be announced, the booking for the model, which will go on sale in January 2023, has already commenced. However, Toyota will be selling the Crysta alongside the Hycross making it a bit difficult for customers to select between the models. So here’s the list of differences between the two, to make it simple for you to choose the one that’ll suit your needs.

1. Chassis

The new Toyota Innova Hycross is under-pinned by Toyota’s TNGA-C platform with a monocoque body. It is more of a crossover design when compared to the Crysta, which is based on the manufacturer’s IMV (Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle) platform that uses a ladder-on-frame chassis for its construction.

The ladder-on-frame chassis gives the Crysta a rear-wheel drive setup, while the Hycross is a front-wheel drive MPV. Moreover, the body-on-frame chassis is more rugged and tough than a monocoque setup, which means the Crysta can take a beating and still continue running.

However, a monocoque body means it’ll be much more refined, have better on-road dynamics, and will have superior driving comfort over its predecessor.
