Maruti's version of Innova Hycross to debut by July 2023

Currently, Toyota has a 12-month backlog of orders for the Innova Hycross.

Maruti Suzuki is set to launch its version of the Toyota Innova Hycross by June-July, 2023. It will be the eighth model sold via the brand's Nexa retail channel.

RC Bhargava, Chairman, Maruti Suzuki, has stated that the company will be sourcing the 3-row strong-hybrid from Toyota. While it is unlikely to bring in huge volumes, Bhargava believes, it will be a path breaker.

Maruti's version of the Innova Hycross is expected to get minor cosmetic changes to help differentiate it from the Toyota. It could get a different grille, but would mostly be a badge engineering exercise than a complete redesign.

The Innova Hycross comes with a strong-hybrid powertrain that uses a 2.0-litre petrol engine that makes 183 BHP and 206 Nm. The engine is mated to an e-CVT and is said to deliver a fuel economy of 21.1 km/l.
