Toyota Kirloskar Motors Limited Innova Hycross interior modified from base to top

The Toyota Innova Hycross is the newest premium MPV from Toyota Kirloskar Motor, the Indian subsidiary of the Japanese automotive giant Toyota. The Hycross variant combines the reliability and spaciousness of the age-old Innova moniker with the fuel efficiency and eco-friendliness of a hybrid powertrain. It offers a comfortable and practical driving experience, making it a preferred choice for both families and businesses. As a result, the car is witnessing tremendous demand in the country. The model has gained such popularity that it currently has a waiting period of up to 2 years. The demand is mostly for the top-spec variants, while the lower trims have shorter waiting periods. For this reason, many people are buying base variants and customizing them to resemble the top-spec models.

The images from AutoRounders feature the interior transformation of the Innova Hycross. The shop is well-known for its conversion work on some of the most popular cars in the country, including the Toyota Innova and Fortuner, among others.
