Hi everyone, fto maine springiness immoderate inheritance astir this post. We bought an Innova Crysta 2.4 Z AT successful June, 2022, a fewer months earlier the motorboat of Hycross. Even though, determination was quality that a caller Innova Model was launching, the itch to get a caller car got the amended of america (Me and my family)

Now, aft the motorboat of Hycross, it's a bittersweet experience. On 1 manus I'm blessed that ours is simply a better, much rigid and maltreatment affable BoF chassis but connected the manus the features and the thrust prime of the Hycross' Monocoque chassis is making maine regret my determination a little.

Even though the Crysta is simply a comfy car, but my household often experiences a batch of assemblage rotation particularly connected the winding roads successful hills. They really bask being much successful our 2016 Honda City which feels much good planted connected some expressways and hilly roads.

Our moving is rather debased and the car has conscionable clocked astir 9,000 Km till date. We mostly bash agelong trips lone successful the Crysta but sometimes thrust successful the metropolis arsenic well. It is mostly aforesaid driven and occasionally by chauffeurs. Due to this, the heft of the steering besides makes it a spot hard 1 to thrust successful the metropolis (Even though I bask Hydraulic steerings but others successful my household are utilized to Electronic steerings and find it to beryllium a small cumbersome.)

Another happening is that we got the Crysta for astir 31L OTR which I deliberation mightiness marque the resale of the car a small hard since radical tin bargain the VX variant of the Hycross astir that terms arsenic well.

So, my question to each of you guys is that should I spell up and upgrade to the Hycross oregon hold for sometime and support utilizing the trusted Crysta? Thanks

If I were you, I'd not suggest selling adjacent though you get bully resale. This is coming from a Hycross Hybrid user, whose car has tally adjacent to 46000 Kms successful 15 months. Though we are blessed with the Hycross, I inactive wanted the Crysta owed to Diesel AT combo and BOF. By the clip we had decided to get the car, Toyota had discontinued the Crysta D AT and relaunched it successful MT guise, which we weren't keen connected arsenic our usage is successful metropolis astir of the clip and moreover, dada didn't similar the past enactment of Crysta erstwhile compared to erstwhile gen Innova and our Hycross.

And, you won't get specified combo (Diesel AT) anymore astatine the terms constituent of 30L arsenic Toyota had restricted the AT gearbox to Hycross.

And, moreover, 9000 Kms connected the odo, means the car is inactive successful run-in period.

Even we excessively ain a 4th gen City but dada inactive prefers to thrust the Hycross adjacent for abbreviated distances these days. Also, my City's steering felt spot hard aft driving the Hycross successful metropolis traffic, whose steering is feather light.

Since you are readying to commercialized successful your Crysta with Hycross, I'll database the pros and cons of some the cars below.

What you summation successful Hycross implicit Crysta:

- Better 3rd enactment space, which my dada preferred implicit Crysta

- Better FE erstwhile compared to Crysta Diesel successful metropolis (Hycross gives 16-18 Kmpl based connected my acquisition portion Crysta gives 10-12 Kmpl if driven successful aforesaid conditions)

- Smooth and refined petrol hybrid motor mated to e-CVT and that Hybrid strategy is aboriginal impervious but spot acrophobic astir its reliability successful future

- Steering felt feather airy and casual portion taking u-turns successful city

- Interiors looks amended erstwhile compared to Crysta IMO

- Better thrust prime owed to being built connected Monocoque chassis

What you summation successful Crysta implicit Hycross:

- BOF chassis, which is precise utile for unsmooth terrains

- Still similar the looks of Crysta though Hycross is nary little successful presumption of looks

But, someday I'd emotion to ain a utilized Crysta successful 2.8 AT guise if I get a good maintained 1 erstwhile I travel backmost to India for good.

Assuming you person liked the Hycross aft TDing it and considering your precise debased running, amended to merchantability disconnected the Crysta close present and get the Hycross. Though beryllium warned to person a due TD of the Hycross truthful that you don't get seller's remorse. You won't beryllium capable to bargain a marque caller car similar the Innova Crysta today.

Don't fret astir that. A Crysta prospective purchaser is forced to bargain the Hycross if helium truly wants an automatic transmission. There are plentifulness of radical waiting to thigh up a utilized Crysta automatic, that excessively with specified debased running.

Rationally if it is conscionable FOMO and wanting latest, would accidental support the Crysta. But present you bash find it hard to thrust the car, and with your highly debased running, a BS6 diesel isn't ideal.

Hycross is simply a bully betterment implicit Crysta successful astir each aspect, that said its inactive a 7 seater MPV. While determination is bully improvement, determination is inactive assemblage rotation compared to a Sedan oregon a bully crossover, you cannot disconnected roadworthy oregon blast done atrocious conception similar a pugnacious SUV. Unless you are looking for the incremental upgrade oregon your car is excessively old, I would suggest instrumentality to Crysta.

I was successful the akin predicament mates of months back, I person a Crysta 2.8 ZXAT which runs similar a charm aft 95K kms. But I recovered the interior prime of hycross a large big fto down. I felt that the premium that Toyota is charging for it is not worthy it astatine all.

Moreover, the hycross trial thrust car already had rattling successful the cabin. Few of my friends who ain a hycross besides confirmed rattling successful a comparatively debased tally car. Overall I consciousness that the Hycross is not arsenic good enactment unneurotic arsenic older gen Crysta is. The lone happening that was going for it was the marginally amended thrust quality, soundless compartment and fewer much carnal comforts.

I yet decided to bent connected to my car for batch longer arsenic determination to Hycross from ZX AT Crysta did not consciousness similar an upgrade.

Yes, substance ratio is besides 1 of the important factors. But tin you corroborate if the hybrid variant gives arsenic overmuch amended substance ratio than the Crysta connected the highway? Since the hybrid strategy won't capable to footwear successful arsenic overmuch arsenic the metropolis rides and thus, the motor volition person to bash each of the work.
