This is our 4th Toyota, after the Qualis and a couple of Innovas in 2005 & 2011.
BHPian car_guy1998 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
My observations after driving our Hycross for 120 km a while ago:
- The engine is dead silent no one knows whether the engine has been switched on or not. After using this, our Honda City Diesel felt coarse.
- The car has been gaining some attention in our gated community as ours is the first Hycross in our gated community in the sea of Crystas, Fortuners, Thars, Cretas, Seltos and to some extent, XUV700 and a guy in our gated community had asked whether this is XUV700 or not as he felt Hycross similar to it and the same guy himself owns Crysta 2.4Z.
- Ingress and egress in this car are quite easy and my folks loved the comfort it offers.
- Speakers are below average and deserve an upgrade.
- HU is a bit laggy and Apple CarPlay gets disconnected sometimes on its own and needs to be connected through a regular USB cable. Maybe, a software upgrade by ASC would help improve the lag.
- MID showed 4.6l/100 km after driving for 120 km and the overall mileage it showed is 21.7 km/l.
- Seats are quite comfortable though seat covers are needed to be installed, which will be done soon front seats felt as if I'm sitting in a Fortuner and felt better than Crysta and the previous Innova.
- Ride quality is superb even and the tyres were on 33 psi.
- Steering is super light and lighter than the likes of Crysta, Fortuner and previous Innova, which we used to own and even lighter than our 2014 Honda City iDTEC.
- MID felt a bit confusing to use though it'll take time to get used to it.
- Doors are quite heavy that we had to shut the doors again even after not getting shut and impressed with the build quality it offered.
- Headlight throw is a bit ok despite having LED lights and needs improvement in this regard. Any solutions for this?
Oh yes, this is our 4th Toyota (had owned Qualis previously and a couple of Innovas, which were in 2005 and 2011), and also, this is our first AT (Hybrids are anyway AT by default)
The present odo in 2 days of ownership is 229 km.
