If we sum up the article in short, the Innova Hycross offers a long list of features and efficient powertrains over the Innova Crysta. On paper, the Innova Hycross is deserving of being called a worthy successor to the Innova Crysta. However, it sits on a monocoque platform and uses a front-wheel-drive setup, none of which aligns with the characteristics of the Innova Crysta, which sits on a body-on-frame chassis and uses a rear-wheel-drive setup. Hence, it’s safe to assume that the Innova Hycross is not an actual replacement to the Innova Crysta and the latter will continue to be sold alongside to cater a different set of audience.
