Toyota to Launch Bioethanol-Powered Innova and Hycross Facelift in India This November
Toyota is set to launch a new bioethanol-powered Innova in India on November 26, as announced by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. This model will run entirely on 100% bioethanol, potentially reducing running costs to the equivalent of Rs 25-30 per litre of petrol. Separately, the Toyota Innova Hycross facelift is expected to launch on November 25, featuring updated exterior styling and upgraded interior technology, including a larger touchscreen and digital instrument cluster, based on changes seen in the Indonesian model.
